Monday meme

[sabotabby]

mistersmearcase hath tagged me with the music meme.

Here are the somewhat totalitarian instructions:
List ten songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your Livejournal along with your ten songs. Then tag some other people to see what they're listening to:

1. "Ghost of Tom Joad," Bruce Springsteen
2. "The Triumph of Our Tired Eyes," A Silver Mt. Zion
3. "I Ain't Got No Home," Woody Guthrie
4. "Wear Clean Draws," The Coup
5. "Mack the Knife," (various versions)
6. "Which Side Are You On?" Billy Bragg
7. "White Boots Marching in a Yellow Land," Phil Ochs
8. "Green Fields of France," Eric Bogle
9. "The Mercy Seat," Johnny Cash
10. "Black Friday Rule," Flogging Molly

There's a bit of a theme here.

(I tag you. Yes, you.)

Additional note to self: Just because someone shows you a cafe that makes all of its coffee with espresso machines does not mean that you need to sample that coffee after 5 o' clock. You will not be able to sleep. I don't care how mindblowingly yummy it is.

(of course... three of them are me!)

[sabotabby]

Ah, but see, you haven't said which ones.

(Four or five of mine are songs I'm supposed to learn, supposedly. Which is why I'm listening to them so much.)

[lokilokust.livejournal.com]

.hexenjagd. (my main project)
pause button edits (my tongue in cheek hip hop/disco/destruco thing. named after push button objects.)
and bored of canada (a parody of boards of canada. i'm so witty it hurts.)

[sabotabby]

I thought the last one was a witty remark on your part (having heard of but never heard Boards of Canada). The fact that it's a project is even better.

Wow, your list is not entirely like mine, but it could be played at the same club, if clubs played decent music.

[bike4fish.livejournal.com]

It's 8:22 pm here and a double espresso just sounded sooo good. But I remembered this post, and reread it to keep me from doing something bad.

Thank you.

[sabotabby]

I aim to be useful. If my purpose in life is to be a cautionary example to my friends, so be it.

Amen.

I actually should have put down The Pet Shop Boy's "Suburbia" somewhere. And here's something odd: No Jazz Butcher Conspiracy, Housemartins, Wooden Tops, Aquabats or Tom Waits. I've just been listening to the above list a bit since I'm not allowed to have much loaded on my computer at work and they are from (relatively) recent CD purchases.

[sabotabby]

Oh wow, you just reminded me that I was suposed to burn a CD to get me through work tomorrow. That likely wasn't your intention, but thanks!

[sabotabby]

See, I've heard of most of those people, but I haven't actually heard any of them.

[sphinctourist.livejournal.com]

well let me just say that that is sad... you need a file sharing program of some sort and you need to use it to download all of the above tracks... and while you're at it you need to download some death from above 1979 as well seeing as they kinda belonged in this list as well but you were insisting on ONLY ten songs and i think that's kind of fascist cos i'm NEVER only listening to ten songs... not that i think everyone else here is either but ... well.. i'm going to shut up now cos i'm babbling needlessly

[sphinctourist.livejournal.com]

oh ya. get some massive attack and tricky too while you're at it.

[sabotabby]

I like Massive Attack. I'm not that clueless.

And the meme did mention that it was totalitarian. Sheesh.

[ralu-1982.livejournal.com]

1. "19 Rebellions" - Asian Dub Foundation
2. "Building Stream With a Grain of Salt" - D.J. Shadow
3. "The Man Comes Around" - Johnny Cash (blame "Dawn of the Dead")

5. "The Whore Hustlers and the Hustler Whores" - P.J. Harvey
6. "Le Vent Nous Portera" - Noir Desir
7. "Taboo" - Peter Gabriel and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

[jaymoh.livejournal.com]

Janes Addiction and Diamanda Gallas? Who knew?? A good pairing though I imagine.

[ralu-1982.livejournal.com]

It's on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack. Actually, it's a sort of a mash-up of "Sex is Violent" and "I Put a Spell On You". Though Natacha Atlas' version of "I Put a Spell On You" is far more cool than Gallas.

[jaymoh.livejournal.com]
