Shameless meme rustling

Nov 27th, 2007

It’s day 27 of NaBloPoMo and I’m just about spent. Don’t be surprised if you hear nothing from me for the entire of December.

So today I’m resorting to a meme I’ve stolen off Bec, who in turn stole it from someone else. I don’t know what’s coming to the world these days. There was a time where people waited to be tagged before they did a meme; these days rampant meme theft is sweeping the entire globe. The rapid disintegration of Western civilization can’t be too far behind.

So here we go, the iTunes meme

You: 194,

    Steal away – I like iTunes memes – it’s the equivalent of rustling through someone’s CD collection – well not really bit anyway… No songs with death in there? No Death Cab for Cutie? May have to do something about that… :)

    You have some good music in that small selection. During the http://www.daleswalk.com, Can I listen to your iPod while Paul’s getting ready? Hmm. Only 5.2days of music – we might need more.

    My mp3 player doesn’t do that. But then again I didn’t have to go through Coke detox either.

    Call and Answer is one of my favorite songs. My dad recently worked with one of the BNL lead singers for the Canadian, CBC version of the BBC’s “Who Do you Think you Are?” tracing genealogy through Canada and Poland. Great post!

    You’ve not tagged anyone, but I steal your meme!

    That’s a very long meme. Maybe I’ll steal it on Sunday. In the meantime, the first artist on my iTunes at the moment would be Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. and the last is 50FOOTWAVE, written just like that.
