Tag, I'm it!


I have been "tagged" by Mojo. Rules: list five songs that you are currently digging - it doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions and the five songs (with artist) in your blog. Then tag five people to see what they're listening to.

Here is my list of the songs I am currently digging:

1. Feel Good Inc. -- Gorillaz
Yes, from an iPod commercial, but a damn good roller skating jam.

2. Lay all Your Love on Me -- ABBA
This song was a 'one of these things is not like the other' on a classics compilation my sister burned at my place and then returned back to me. The bass line really rocks.

3. Crazy Little Thing Called Love -- Queen
Other example of great backing vocals by Queen, love the line "Until I'm ready, Ready Freddy, Crazy Little thing called love"

4. Don't Stop Believing -- Journey
From the movie Monster -- the song came out years before the story of Aileen Wuornos, but the lyrics seem like were written for her. Journey did have some cheesy '80s moments, but this was definitely not one of them.

5. This Fire – Franz Ferdinand
I am digging these bands that sound like bands from the early '80s without ripping any early '80's band off too hard. These guys and The Killers are two of them.

Ok, the five people I am tagging are:

Angela

Tim

Sangroncito

Jamie

Lindsay
(since you don't have a blog, just e-mail me your five and I will publish them here. Since we're sisters, we can share a blog ;)

Hey there, thanks for stopping by my blog! I guess you were trying to find out who was the wench who tagged sangroncito first. 'Twas me. :)

Yes, "Taste the Summer" is from the new Duran Duran album. It has a lot of "doo doo doo's" in it. Very catchy. And the k.d. lang song is from "Hymns of the 49th Parallel", which just came out last year. It's all covers of songs by Canadian songwriters, that particular one being a Jane Siberry song. It's really beautiful...highly recommended!

I have heard other songs off the "Hymns of the 49th Parallel" album. The Leonard Cohen songs and Neil Young's "Helpless" is amazing. I think k.d.lang could make a Slipnot song sound good if she covered it.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
