1. What is the total amount of music files on your computer?

39 GB - ~10,500 tracks as 128kbps MP3s.

2. The cd you last bought is:

Take your pick from these ones acquired as a job lot for £24 in a Fopp attack

• We Got The Funk - Various Artists. Three CDs of funky disco
• Lo Fidelity Allstars present Abstract Funk Theory - Various Artists. A little more up-to-date compilation than We Got The Funk
• A Break From The Norm - Various Artists. Original tracks that were sampled by Fatboy Slim.
• Greatest Hits - Wings. Surprisingly decent.
• More Than This: The Best Of - Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music. Filling a hole that's been in my music collection for too long.
• Version Excursion - Various Artists. Funky and unexpected cover versions
• Beneath The Surface, Vol. 1 - Various Artists. A Bella Union sampler CD, bought mainly for the track by The Dears, but some of the other tracks are pretty good too.

3. What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?

"Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime" by Beck. A fantastic cover version, one of many excellent tracks on the recently delivered triple-CD mix from Mike.

4. Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you:

I tried narrowing this down to 31 songs a while back and that was hard enough! So instead, I'll offer the top five songs I don't yet own a copy of:

• I Will Survive - Cake
• Mahgeetah - My Morning Jacket
• We Can Have It - The Dears
• Teenage Kicks - The Undertones
• A Message To My Audience - Maxi Geil! & Playcolt
