Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what theyâre listening to.
SORRY MEME but I’m going to do 10 songs. Because that’s how I roll.
“One of the Boys” – Katy Perry. I’m in a bit of an OCD stage with this song right now, pressing Play over and over again.
“I Want You To Want Me” – Cheap Trick. I’m just suddenly so into this song. Can’t get enough.
“Jump Jack Jump” – Wynona Carr. She is sooo yummy.
“Get Up” – Bleu. An absolute goosebump-raising song. Meant to be BLASTED as you careen along River Road on a summer twilight. The volume cannot be high enough for this song.
“Paint It Black” – Rolling Stones. Come on. Give it up. Brilliant song. I’ve always loved it, but right now it’s on eternal Replay. It reminds me of making out with Michael and knocking over furniture and all that crap.
“I Can’t Believe I’m Not a Millionaire” – Puppini Sisters. Harmony, witty lyrics (“I had a Poptart instead …”), great vocals … As of this moment, this song is my favorite of theirs.
“Make You Feel My Love” – Bob Dylan. I have to be careful about when I listen to this song. I don’t just pop it on … I need to be in the right space, willing to be introspective, and willing to have a little crying jag, if necessary. It kills me. The song kills me. It goes into my heart like a laser beam.
“Portland Rain” – Everclear. Go find the lyrics. Read them. Live them, dammit. I know I am. I love Everclear anyway, but that song is just rocking my world right now.
“Soon” – Squirrel Nut Zippers. This song puts me in a good mood. It acts on me as a command: smile, life’s not so bad!
“Heaven on Earth” – Britney Spears. Don’t judge. It’s an excellent song.
Consider yourself tagged.
Dude, you just apologized to a meme. That is so funny.
hahahahahaha
Memes give me guilt-trips all the time – it pisses me off!!
Hehehe. Meme, we need to talk. It’s totally not you. It’s me.
I’m really in no position to. Anyway, Britney just goes with summer.
And this meme needs to understand that sometimes you just need space. It’s nothing personal, meme.
Back off, meme!!
Yeah, besides,I really need to focus on my career right now, meme.
I’d post my own, but you deserve better answers than mine. I still think you’re a really great meme.
“Heaven on Earth?”
Oh, I’m so judging you now, Special Ops.
Caitlin!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
You need to do the meme, music girl.

Where are you now?? Words can’t express how much I miss you!
I have always treasured Paint It Black. I’ve loved it since the first time I heard it (which was high school, my boyfriend refused to listen to anything current and was instead stuck in the 60s. I could go my whole life without The Doors, but his addiction to The Stones was a good thing).

Mitchell – I think you will be pleased to know that just as you left your comment, “Fancy” came on.
Best song ever.
“It was red with velvet trim and it fit me good …”
hot!!!..i heard from Rachel that u may come up to RI while im there?????????
1. Paper Planes (Remix with Bun B)- MIA
2. In Dreams- Roy Orbison.
-Of course, Dean Stockwell has a lot to with why this is here.
3. Crimson and Clover- Tommy James and the Shondells
-Especially the ending.
4. El Paso- Marty Robbins.
His voice immediately evokes a gorgeously tragic Western cinematic landscape, where the sun is continually setting, coyotes are howling, and a cowboy is dying.
5. International Players Anthem- UGK.
-“I Choose You” on Crack.
6. Wichita Lineman- Glen Campbell.
7. A Whiter Shade of Pale- Procol Harum
I really just discovered this for the first time.
8. Here Come the Warm Jets- Brian Eno
His sense of timbre is unparalleled.
9. Here Comes the Sun- Nina Simone
Because I just got a job finally.
10. Paper Planes (Remix with Bun B)- MIA (not an error of repetition, this song is so good, I had to include it twice)
Btw, thats M.I.A. the acronym, not Mia the name.
Mitchell – absolutely. We were going to road trip – me and Dratch and Rachel. Not sure of your dates, though – what are they?? I already have plans to be in RI a couple of weekends, just to hang with the family and get ready for the wedding, stuff like that … but tell me your dates!! I will make sure to come up then – it would be so fun to road trip with the Rachels!!
I went and saw Rachel’s show the other night at Magnet – David and I went. And Jean performed too … it was so awesome!
Oh and Mitchell, in regards to Paris, I got 3 words for you:
Jeu de Pomme.

“Dragula” – Rob Zombie
“Fire and Rain” – James Taylor
“A Pirate Looks at Forty” – Jimmy Buffet
“A Postcard to Nina” – Jens Lekman
“Spit It Out” – IAMX
“Rebel, Rebel” – David Bowie
(complete explanations, justifications and guilt issues are in a post, but I figured I throw the names on here!)
and I love that Dylan song but yeah – crying song. All the way.
Amazing spider and a music meme
CrabAppleLane traveling spider – July 1, 2008 Patsy and I traded trucks for a day last week. She needed the pickup truck for some shelves she needed to transport. I get a call during the day from her. “Don’t wash…
I go through a different Cheap Trick song (Hello There) and a different Rolling Stones song (Gimme Shelter) all the time but I love your choices, too.
