It was my birthday last month (April) and my parents bought me a very cool mp3 player. It has only been on sale since the 20th of May so this week it finally arrived.
I decided not to get an iPod because... well... everyone's got one. So I asked for, what I thought, looked like a better option.
The Sony HD5 (the name isn't as catchy as the iPods) has a replacable, rechargable battery that lasts up to 30 hours which is considerably longer than an iPod's. It can also be used as a portable hard drive (don't know if that's possible with an iPod or not?) which is very handy.
Another cool thing is that that the remote control ear phones that I got with my portable cd player work with the mp3 player, so I don't have to keep getting the thing out just to change track/ stop/ play/ anything.
Only played with it for about a week but I'm liking it. Not having to carry around lots of cd's/ listen to the same cd repeatedly is very nice.
A musical baton
Having missed out on the musical baton that did the rounds recently I figured I would steal one from someone who didn't specify recipients and do the meme anyway - I'm a couple of weeks late so it doesn't really matter...
Total volume of music files on my computer
- 3.38Gb
- 515 files
The last CD I bought was
- "Disclaimer 2" by Seether
Song playing right now
- "Sucker Train Blues" by Velvet Revolver
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me
- "Feeling Good" by Muse (and Nina Simone... but Muse version is better)
- "Don't Cry" by Guns n' Roses
- "Inside" by Stiltskin
- "The Show Must Go On" by Queen
- "Where is my mind" by the Pixies
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton
- I'm leaving this open. If anyone with a blog feels as left out as I did (
) then post a comment and I'll send a baton your way.
There appears to be a book meme going round at the moment. Maybe this time someone will think of little old me and let me join in without having to resort to theft.

Work on Monday, what joy!!
are you taking the piss, Muse's version of 'Feeling Good' is horrific, Maybe you've spent TOO long listening to your bosses music!!!!
Not a Muse fan then Alex? I'd better keep you away from my MP3 player then. It's loaded with the stuff
