Gazing My Musical Navel

February 28, 2008

I stole this meme from Johnny Bacardi. I don’t know what the protocol is with this bullshit, but if you fill it out, lemme know in the comments so we can all share our sadness.

(For the purposes of this quiz, I’m using my iPod, a 60GB 5G edition, with 37.4 GB of its memory full. I should wait and do this at home, where my full 128GB library lives, but whatever.)

Instructions: Open up your iTunes and fill out this survey, no matter how embarrassing the responses might be.

How many songs total: 7,317

How many hours or days of music: 18.6 days

Most recently played: The Corkscrews, “Diversey”

Most played: Gnarls Barkley, “Run”

Most recently added: Pat Radio, episode 103

Sort by song title:

First Song: “ABC,” Jackson Five

Last Song: “99 Problems,” DJ Danger Mouse

Sort by time:

Shortest Song: “Interlude,” Hot Hot Heat

Longest Song: “Village Haus Loop (Edit),” Disneyland

Sort by album:

First album: A.M., Wilco

Last album: 52nd Street, Billy Joel

First song that comes up on Shuffle: Bruce Springsteen, “Don’t Back Down”

Search the following and state how many songs come up:

Death – 6
Life – 85
Love – 465 (WOW)
Hate – 41
You – 859
Sex – 22

Someone else do this now and make me feel less pathetic.

A Musical Note

I occasionally post mp3s on this blog, intended for illustrative purposes. If you are an artist who objects to my limited use of your music, please drop me a line and I will be happy to modify or remove the track. If you are a scary music industry lawyer, grow a FUCKING SOUL, and/or send me a Cease & Desist.
