A Musical Baton
Published 17 May 2005
A “musical baton” has been passed to me by Glenda the Goodwitch. Wow, this site’s first meme!
Edit: I felt compelled to write more after I got home from work (ahem). Pacific time has its disadvantages.
Total volume of music files on my computer: 3.88 GB (holy crap! That’s a lot for someone in a music rut.)
The last CD I bought was: A Ghost is Born by Wilco
Song playing right now: The Milkman of Human Kindness by Billy Bragg
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
The Ghost in You by Psychedelic Furs
Inside you the time moves and she don’t fade / The ghost in you, she don’t fade.
Reminds me of my grandmother, who committed suicide three years before I was born, and I feel is inside me for various reasons
*Lovesong by The Cure*
However far away
However long I stay
Whatever words I say
I will always love you.
For all the friends from those days that I still love and never keep in touch with
*Closer to Fine by The Indigo Girls*
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my papers, now I’m free
I spent eight years prostrate to the higher mind…
*Yin and Yang The Flowerpot Man by Love & Rockets*
Beauty, beauty, beauty, beautiful…
High school nostalgia
*Who Loves the Sun by The Velvet Underground*
Not everyone.
Anthem for the dark days.
Yes, I am officially stuck in the 80’s. But it’s the good 80’s.
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton. I don’t know a lot of bloggers that haven’t already anted up, so I’ll pick some I know and some I’m just curious to hear from:
In: Cocoa on the Couch
This is the section that contains all of my personal articles — sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter — it’s good to have a fire going and a cat purring in your lap when you read these.
Coffee at my Desk
Thanks, Ada
I think Matto has said it best for me today:
I have it on decent authority that the world is full of women who kick ass in Tech. …More »

poodle, purse, & pumps
Right. I realize that I haven’t blogged in over a year. I am working on remedying that, and have a bunch of half-finished projects to prove it. More on that …More »

Andrea, cool idea to add the lyrics that speak to you…I just followed your lead and added some more comments/lyrics to my post!

Thanks! I hope I didn’t ping everyone too much while I ironed out the formatting…
I’ve always been a sucker for lyrics—music is like enhanced poetry to me.
