Phew. Feels like I’ve been out of town for a month and locked in a room with no windows and it’s only because I haven’t had any internet service for 4 days, but I’m back on line now. It’s a good thing because the depression was starting to kick in last night, but I don’t want to go back there so I’m moving on.
Apparently I’ve been “tagged” by my best blogging friend, the mad hatter and I now have to come up with seven of my favorite songs… No problem, music is something I can discuss any time. It’s kind of funny because I had planned to write about all the tunes I played at my party when I lost access to the internet, so the timing for this task is perfect. I’ll still get to the play list for the party but that could take a while to compose so for now here are seven songs that I’ve been drawn to over the last…well seven days:
Forever Young - Youth Group. I’ve always loved the original from Alphaville, but when I first heard a portion of this song from Youth Group on The O.C, I immediately knew I had to download it and listen to it in its entirety in the comfort of my own living room.
In The Sun- Michael Stipe. Again, love the original by Joseph Arthur but when I heard Stipes’ rendition on the radio one day I pretty much froze in my tracks. His voice, as usual makes me just want to sit down, focus and listen to whatever the hell he’s singing.
Iowya- Angelique Kijo. This particular track from Angelique is probably the most radio friendly one she ever did; world music is her genre and Iowya makes you want to dance to that African rhythm. Dave Matthews is a guest on this one and he fits like a glove.
I Met a Girl- Wheat. Great tune; fun, fun and more cool fun.
Sing Me Spanish Techno- New pornographers. This particular tune made the party playlist also and it just gets the juices flowing…
Yahweh- U2. “How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb” has been on my top five since its debut and this particular track is one of my favorites. It’s in the car, on at work, in the player at home and on the ipod. I love it.
Curly Locks- Sinead O’Connor. Reggae Sinead: interesting, enjoyable and with this one quite sexy.
That’s it, the seven that got the most airplay in my world. It’s your turn. Pick whatever you’ve been drawn to lately musically, but just pick your top seven. Why seven? I have no idea. Go…

How fun. It's going to take some thought, give me a day.
I love In The Sun. Have you seen Joseph Arthur live? He is amazing. I'm sure one of his songs will be in my top seven.
Oh-no!
This is one of the most painful questions people can ask me...besides "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" at interviews.
This one is going to take some long thought; shall I link back to you?
Zoe, glad you're up to the challenge. No I haven't had the pleasure of a live show from J.Arthur. Have fun
Mac, I could care less where you see yourself in 1 year let alone 5. I don't mean to bring up any bad thoughts... Just pick your top seven from this weekend, come on now...you can do it.
Darling,
