angelophileA new music meme for you.
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 along with your 7 songs.Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to. Feel free to snag if you like!
I'm on a bit of a nostalgic indie kick at the moment. Although not entirely.
The Wonder Stuff - Sleep Alone
From the classic "Never Loved Elvis" album, released in 1991. Damn I feel old. The soundtrack to my teenage years, though. RIP Rob "The Bass Thing" Jones and drummer Martin Gilks.
The Cardiacs - Is This The Life?
I can't remember whether I first heard this track on John Peel or Mark and Lard when they were on late night Radio 1. It was stuck on one of my radio-recorded compilations for years though. I still love how... out there it sounds.
Nirvana vs Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give Your Teen Spirit Up
What?
Kirsty MacColl - There's a Guy Works Down the Chip Shop Swears He's Elvis
A little before my time, really. I missed Kirsty's golden years. But I still miss her. She guested on a bunch of albums I did own, whether it was the Wonder Stuff, Billy Bragg, The Happy Mondays, The Smiths, The Pogues. Her tragic death in 2000 was a terrible blow.
Weird Al Yankovic - Hardware Store
Yes, I'm obsessed with this song. Still.
Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down
Should I admit that I heard this for the first time a few months back in an Eastenders trailer? Probably not.
Carter USM - Do Re Me (So Far So Good)
Still appropriate, even if it's not 1992 any more. "Where are the songs about boozers and buildings,
banning the bomb and abusing the children?" Fruitbat's shorts and cycling hat, less appropriate.
