So Tavi, fashion sweetie that she is, tagged me to do this fun game that's been going around...
For starters, here are the rules:
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, shaping your summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.
The Songs (they're more about the vibe than the cred):
F**k and Run (by everyone's fave fin-de-siecle feminist misfit, Liz Phair) She was badass in her day.
A Trick of the Tail (Genesis) My husband terms this (scarily) "progrocklite". And he was there so he should know.
You Belong to Me (either Carly Simon OR Michael McDonald - you know, that really old guy from the Doobie Brothers in the 70's). I've always wondered who penned the song, because both renditions are totally excellent and each artist really seems to own it. Thanks to wikipedia for advising that they actually co-wrote it!
It's Different for Girls (Joe Jackson) All out proto-new wave. Is that Elvis Costello singing backup??
You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb (Spoon) Believe it or not, my (then 4-year old) kid turned me onto this band a few years ago.
Angie Baby (Helen Reddy) DO NOT LAUGH (if you're even old enough to remember who this woman is). So what if I danced to her variety show in my night gown tied at the side with a rubber band in 197_? She was pretty and I got to stay up late. Anyway, just give this song a chance. It's almost disco and the words are whack. Seriously. Imelda, can you pls. corroborate??
Great DJ (The Ting Tings) So good to rock out to when you get out of the shower.
The Tagees:
I'm so late to the game here that I'm fairly certain everyone has done this already. And between the post-vacation stress and the many posts I read daily, I can't exactly remember if my blog friends below have taken up the challenge:
Miss White
Sister Wolf
Imelda Matt
Dreamecho
Fruchtzwerg
Yulanda
Terren
Of course, every reader has a tacit invitation to participate, should (s)he so choose!

I didn't laugh at ANY of those songs. You've got two of my favorites on that list.
ReplyDeleteE: Let me guess - are they F**k and Run and It's Different for Girls??
ReplyDeletewhat no Janis????
ReplyDeleteI was kind of hoping you'd be on board with Helen. She's practically as uncool (maybe moreso?) and equally underrated. And isn't she Australian? Maybe you live in her neighbourhood :-)
