the musical baton
passed to me by Irdial Discs, via blogdial. If it hadn't come from there, it wouldn't be here.
total volume of music on my computer:
1068 songs, 2 days 15 hours, 15.08Gb on internal hard drive.
most was removed a while back to make space for new stuff, and is sleeping a while on a more spacious external hard drive
last cd i bought:
it was over a year ago, and was...
chris watson's 'weather report'.
i don't usually buy cds, but this was unavailable on vinyl
song playing right now:
erik satie, l'oevre pour piano
five songs that i play regularly, or that mean a lot to me:
this can vary by the day. as of the middle of may, 2005, i pick the following artists; tracks; albums...
dexy's midnight runners; geno; searching for the young soul rebels
nina simone; it be's that way sometimes; silk and soul
charles mingus; better git it in yo' soul; mingus mingus mingus mingus mingus
bulgarian state radio & television female choir; polegnala e todora; le mystère des voix bulgares
ravi shankar; raga madhukauns; ragas and talas
five people to whom I'm passing the baton:
all of whom love music, and for whom a gentle reminder of the joy of listening is never a bad thing...
a friend in france who has just made the time
a friend in north london who needs to protect his records
a friend in hackney, 9 storeys above the madness
a friend in philadelphia who once was lost, but now is found
a friend in wales without whom none of this would exist
if they can't post their 'batons' themselves', i'll be posting them here as they come round the mountain
