Do The Hustle
I have been vaguely aware of this whole ‘musical baton’ tomfoolery that has been going around and now that I have been passed the proverbial baton by both Jeff ‘Jam Master’ Croft and Shaun ’.com/poser’ Inman, I am now much obliged to participate.
Total volume of music on my computer: circa 2GB. Is that not a lot? I guess I’m still fairly “old school,” preferring the spin of a CD to the bitrate of MP3s.
The last CD I bought was: Weezer, Make Believe
Song playing right now: None, but it would definitely be This Is Such A Pity by Weezer.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
- Anything by Juliana Hatfield.
- Hell Yes, Beck. It’s just funky fresh.
- Right Between the Eyes, Garbage. Squealing guitars, murderous drum pattern, pounding bass.
- Combat Baby, Metric
- Mr. Brightside, The Killers
Five People to Whom I am Passing the Baton:
Update: I’ve successfully sent my invitation to President Bush. I can feel the Secret Service watching me already. I mean no harm, fellas! Honest!

Some good choices—What a Pity is definitely the best song of Weezer’s new album (and dare I say it has the best guitar solo in a Weezer song to date?) and Mr. Brightside and the Killers are as catchy as modern stuff gets.

I get no love from you people!I passed the baton to you and Greg over at airbag, and nothing!
pffffft!
Good selections by the way, Love the Weezer, although I was really hoping for another self-titled album, maybe pinnk, so I could have the blue, green and pink Weezer album.
Oh well.

Jared: what you don’t check my site… like every day!?Man, what a let down.
We really need to institute generic site pingbacks and trackbacks so you can know when I talk about you, but don’t mention a specific post!

Howdy…I love a good bit of tomfoolery as much as anyone.
Thought you might want to know… your link to Shaun Inman is pointing to Jeff Croft. FYI.

No word from Mr Bush then?Jared Christensen » 1931 days ago #
I am honestly trying to pass President Bush the baton, but the White House email contact form is experiencing problems. I’ll bet he’s got some Skynyrd in that iPod, though.
