Seems to be trendy these days, so: List ten songs that you are currently digging... it doesn't matter what genre they are from, whether they have words, or even if they're no good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artists, and the ten songs in your blog. Then tag five other people to see what they're listening to. In no particular order: 1. Fold Me Up, by the Snuggle Ups: Cute geek love song 2. Tell Your Mama, by The Scissor Sisters: Because summer is the time for trashy, trashy glam-disco-rock 3. Alone Again Or, by Calexico: Like #1, another free download discovery from Salon 4. No one Takes Your Freedom, by DJ Earworm: Insane mashup of Tell Your Mama, Freedom by George Michael, For No One by the Beatles and Aretha's Think. And yes, somehow it all works. 5. It's Good to Be In Love, by Frou Frou : pretty, pretty 6. Ordinary People, by John Legend: MMMm! Gorgeous voice. Gorgeous man. What's not to like? 7. Cowgirls on Parade, by TullyCraft: Suddenly it's the 80s again! And I like it! And any song that goes "Woohoo!" repeatedly can't be bad. 8. Close My Eyes, by Shivaree: Divynyl-tastic 90s rock, sorta 9. Back in Love Again, by LTD: M's ringtone, for good reason. Song is slammin'. 10. Jamie's Cryin', by Van Halen: Because, duh! And because M doesn't really have an appreciation for the awesome power of David Lee Roth, so I had to make him sit in the car in the parking lot at Lowe's to listen to this when it came on the radio. I mean, really, buttless pants? What more do you want from a rock star? I think a steady diet of Van Halen is what he needs to balance out his Erasure obesssion. You really need both in your life. (Though he does appreciate the AC/DC for reasons I can't fully fathom.) Tag, Bunny, AEM, Matt(s), Rob, Omar and anybody else who might actually read this silly page...

I have to admit, Jack FM has come to Vegas and I've been listening to the radio again.
However, I also recently made an anti-Eminem mix for B and my favorites:
1) The Immigrant Song by Tomoyasu Hotei - an industrial techno dance version of the Led Zep classic. Catchy, kitchy, classic.
2) Good Girls Don't by The Knack --"other" hit from the people who brought you "My Sharona"
3) Pump It by Black Eyed Peas -- damn if they didn't make 50's surf rock mix well with hip hop. Damn!
4) Superstition by Stevie Wonder . . .I still half wish it were Grissom playing those opening chords. Nostalgia.
5) entire Bob Schneider "I'm Good Now" album
: )
6) entire Madeleine Peyroux "Careless Love" album--Don't Wait Too Long got me hooked
7) Come On-A My House by Rosemary Clooney -- vintage Vegas
8) A couple of Ella Fitzgerald medleys -- one with "Fascinating Rhythm" and one with "Boy from Ipanema"
9) Little Less Conversation: Elvis -- staying with the Vintage Vegas; close 2nd is the Frank Sinatra collection
10) Lido Shuffle by Boz Scaggs
Bonus:Blitzkreig Bop/Ramones; Ballroom Blitz/Sweet; Sex Pistols

Very nice, Miss AEM. I have a cool remix of Come On-A My House on the Verve remixed CD if you ever wanna hear it.
And are you aware that the great Boz is a fellow Dallas kid? Yup yup. Used to play in Steve Miller's band. Both went to St. Mark's.
Give me more! My songs are so old but enjoyable none the less. I'm listening to my "sun" mix right now, songs like Sunrise, by Norah Jones and the same title but different song by Simply Red, Sunset Grill by Don Henley, Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me, the George Michael/Elton John version, Automatically Sunshine by The Supremes, Walking on the Sun, etc., etc. Just fun...for me anyway. But seriously, you gotta write more about what you listen to so I can update my tunes.
