And now for something completely unrelated to Indiana Jones (no doubt my Three Loyal Readers are rejoicing at those<\/i> words), a meme stolen from Javi<\/a>. It’s one of those musical memes that seemed to be so popular a few years ago, when iTunes and iPods were the hot new deal. Up until fairly recently, I’ve been unable to participate in these memes as I remained stubbornly iTunes-less, but I’ve finally been assimilated into the intangible music paradigm. Well, I’ve got iTunes on my home and work machines, anyhow; I still don’t have much motivation to shell out my hard-earned cubits for an iPod. But then I always have been a late adopter.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, here’s the meme. It’s probably worth keeping in mind that these results come from the version of iTunes I have on my work<\/i> computer, so it’s based on the very specific (and generally pretty mellow) handful of CDs I’ve bothered to bring into the office with me. Or maybe that doesn’t matter. I don’t know… either way, enjoy the useless trivia…<\/p>\n
