Just because I don’t normally do as I’m told, I’ll throw a little curve ball and follow orders for a change.

Total volume of music files on my computer: 124.54 GB (28,519 songs). Almost alarming. And I’ve got another 100 CDs or so left to rip — not to mention the 1,000-plus old CDMOM discs sitting in boxes on my floor.

The last CD I bought was: Quasimoto’s “The Further Adventures of Lord Quas.”

Song playing right now: “Supernova” by Liz Phair. Ah, college.

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me: Well, here are the five most played, according to iTunes:

“King of Carrot Flowers, Parts 2 & 3,” Neutral Milk Hotel
“Fruit Tree,” Nick Drake
“California One/Youth and Beauty Brigade,” The Decemberists
“The Rat,” The Walkmen
“My Favourite Chords,” The Weakerthans

Sounds like you need a bunch of iPods and one of these.

Nick Drake? Is Josh hitting his melancholy phase?
