so i ended up getting the musical baton AGAIN, this time from adriene. you may remember that i did already run with it via jacob, but this new one seems more descriptive, i figure i’ll do it again.
Amount of Music On My Computer:
still around 4 gb even with the new additions added
Currently Listening To:
the clemson baseball game, they are about to take it to the super regional. wait, that’s not music enough, okay, i listened to a DW solo version of ‘somewhere north’ with a backing band and found it quite amazing.
Five Songs that Mean a Lot to Me:
this list is actually good for only today and could change say if you ask me next week…
caedmon’s call ‘somewhere north’
i just love this song, its my favorite song of all time. i can’t really say why, i just like the lyrics and the music. apparently they performed this song at the first concert i went to in 1999, but i didn’t really know many of the songs back then so i don’t remember it. i never saw them do it again, and i went to two guild weekends.
u2 ‘where the streets have no name’
every time i hear this song, i get chills. the intro and then knowing what’s coming, its just stellar.
caedmon’s call ‘table for two’
this song has helped me through some tough times.
johnny cash ‘a boy named sue’
i really like johnny cash. this is my favorite song of his. i don’t think any rock band could write a song like this now and not get away with sounding like morons. i know cash didn’t write it, but he sang it like he did, and like he was the boy named sue. its awesome.
outkast ‘wheelz of steel’
smoothest song ever. i just went to my friend brooks’ wedding last weekend, and he and i used to blast this song rolling down the road in his ‘stang 5.0. summer of ’01, and i remember when i first heard this song, riding to an arena football game in greenville.
Top Five Albums:
1. caedmon’s call – 40 acres
well i mean, two of my all time top 5 appear on this cd, so why wouldn’t it be my #1? i like the lyrics on the other songs “like a coin hiding in the corner trying not to be swept/i was trying not to be swept”. its good stuff.
2. ryan adams – gold
i love this album, its good through and through. and yes, i know in one week and one day i will be seeing him live. i’m very anxious.
3. jay-z – unplugged
in my opinion, the perfect hip hop/rap album. the roots are his backing band, i just think it has a great great groove and i love it.
4. pearl jam – yield
i don’t listen to pj much anymore, but this is probably my favorite album of theirs. ‘in hiding’ is one of my favorite songs, probably THE favorite, but a close second to songs like ‘present tense’ and ‘corduroy’. however, yield has other songs that push it to the top.
5. coldplay – a rush of blood to the head
if jacob’s any good, this may get replaced on tuesday. from what i’ve heard of the new album, it may pass this one soon. i remember when marika told me about ‘the scientist’, its beautiful. my favorite song is probably ‘warning sign’…i hope to go see them live in the fall, but its not looking likely. 
Last Album Bought:
ryan adams – cold roses
Recent Discoveries:

i probably should check out some new bands, but i just don’t feel like it right now.
Passing it On….
of course, a couple of people like marika and robbi took the baton the first time i had it, so if they would like to enlighten us on some of their all time favorites (i’m hoping so) i pass them the baton also.
