Update: So, I was invited to play the game yesterday by yesterdayishere.com (Bojan Janjanin).

So everybody in the web-design blog community is jumping on this Musical Baton meme…but where did it all start? Heck if I know. I first heard about it on Monday when Richard Rutter, Jon Hicks, and Jason Santa Maria all started playing the game. I followed the “who tagged who” links all the way back to a Live Journal user who claimed not to have been tagged, but was playing anyway. I thought I’d stop looking for origins at that point and do the same. It’d be interesting to see some stats on how many gigs of music the average web-designer has, since so many of us are participating. Anyway, here goes:

Total volume of music files on my computer: 12.1 Gb
…the music server at work has 66.4 Gb
(mostly rips of everyones cd collections)

The last CD I bought was: “Believe” by Big Dismal

Song playing right now: “Yakitori” by Yoko Kanno
(don’t ask…I didn’t enque it.)

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:

  1. “Right Here” by Mark Wills
  2. “Float On” by Modest Mouse
  3. “Tutti Vogliono Viaggiare in Prima” by Ligabue
  4. “Better Together” by Jack Johnson
  5. “3x5” by John Mayer

Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:

  1. Ray Williams - (Did It. - May 18th)
  2. Brian Reese
  3. Nathan Bird - (Did It. - May 26th)
  4. Ryan Salerno - (Did It. - May 24th)
  5. Russell Tyndall
