Seven Songs (I do a meme)
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LJ/blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.
- "Alala" by CSS (aka Cansei De Ser Sexy)
Imagine if Le Tigre was from Sao Paulo and turned the irony-o-meter down from "11" to say "4". This is a great dance-track. Seriously.
- "Occupying Force" by Unto Ashes
Unto Ashes is pretty much at the top of their field at this point. If this advance track from their new CD is any indication then expect another winner. A beautiful(ly sad) song.
- "Everything in Motion" by Sumerland
This is what I always expected the Mission (UK) to sound like (but didn't really). This is a great goth-rock CD, a softer and more tribal counterpart to Redemption's anthem-driven "Home".
- "Etheric Device" by Glass Candy
I didn't buy the hype the first time around. But now Glass Candy really has my attention, think early new-wave, think early Siouxsie (Hong Kong Garden), think minimalism. A great track.
- "Fell Down The Stairs" by Tilly and The Wall
This band is really cute. They are from Nebraska, sing songs about being young and fucked up (and in love), and their percussion is a tap-dancer. They are charming live too. This is from their debut CD, but their new stuff is good too. If you like pop-songs that live in your head this may be your song.
- "Nine" by Forward, Russia!
Ready for another geeky post-punk-inspired spazzy-vocaled band who name all their tracks after numbers? You bet your ready!
- "Gatheration" by Lady Sovereign
Some say this track off the Sov's upcoming CD is "techno" but it reminds me more of early hip-hop than anything else (think LL Cool J's "Radio"). But in any case this is a very stripped down track. I think she may be trying to escape the "grime" label.
I generally don't "tag" people, but it is always good to look at what your listening to now and then. So if you feel the urge, list your own.
