I thought it’d be fun to see what songs everyone is listening to a lot lately (either current ones or older ones.) We can remember songs we forgot about, or yell at each other for liking stupid songs, 😛 . My list includes: “Welcome to the Black Parade” - My Chemical Romance “When You Were Young” - The Killers “More than a Feeling” - Boston (damn you, Guitar Hero!) “My Name is Jonas” - Weezer ---

My new favorite song is _Love You_ by Jack Ingram. One can’t help but love a song with lines like “Love this mother-lovin’ truck that keeps breakin’ lovin’ down”. ---

Yifei - Mayonako no DOOR. I have been listening to it almost constantly since I got the CD on Saturday. I’ve also been listening to Shonen Knife’s Buttercup (I’m a Supergirl) a lot. (A cookie to anyone who knows why those two songs are similar.) And on a different tangent Ruslana - Dance With the Wolves has been played a few times. Anything else I’ve lstened to recently has been deliberately to stop a chain of those. ---

The Dixie Chicks, “Not Ready To Make Nice.” It’s a great FUTK song. I’m _glad_ they didn’t apologize. Nickelback, “Rock Star.” Grieg’s “In the Hall of the Mountain King.” It’s been a favorite since a teacher told the story; I can still see the pictures she painted to go with the music. “Great Big Stuff” from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Yeah, I mostly like songs I can sing along to. ---

I’m in love with Vienna Teng right now, and K.T. Tunstall’s “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree”, and “Ooh La La” from Goldfrapp. ---

I’ve been listening to Vangelis’ _12 O’Clock_ a lot, lately. I’m sure that surprises the Hell out of everyone. That, and I found a gem of a site with [url=http://www.woolyfsh.com/seasongs/a bunch of old recordings of songs written or adapted by USAF guys during Vietnam. I particularly like “Sandy Cannonball” and “Downtown.” (It probably says something about me that I can go from listening to those, to the recordings of “The East is Red” and “Across the Fields Tanks Thundered” without missing a beat, happy as a clam.) ---

Hm. Lately: Vienna Teng - 1 Br/1 Ba Vienna Teng - Blue Caravan Vienna Teng - Cannonball Vienna Teng - Gravity Tegan and Sara - Walking With the Ghost Sarah Fimm - Lioness Sarah Fimm - Virus Regina Spektor - Consequence of Sounds Regina Spektor - Fidelity I only discovered Tegan and Sara a couple weeks ago and have been aware of Regina Spektor for a while but only really noticed her sometime last week whereas Sarah Fimm is the chief god of my musical pantheon and Vienna Teng is one of her concomitants. ---

**Eddie and the Hot Rods** - Do Anything You Do I’ve loved this song since I’ve first heard it. It’s also really appropriate for where I’m at in my life right now. **Prince** - Little Red Corvette **Prince** - When Doves Cry I haven’t really gotten into Prince until within the last year or two. Both of these songs are just so great. **Aztec Camera** - Over My Head A very calming, pretty song. In this case that also means that it’s boring if I’m not in the right mood. But otherwise it’s great. **Montt Mardie** - 1969 This is one I downloaded. I think I found the mp3 from Pitchfork. [Here it is](http://www.hybrisfiles.com/mp3/monttmardie-1969.mp3). It’s a song full of longing with the singer wondering what it would be like if he was born 20 years earlier and could have been around for a lot of the stuff then. I can relate. The singer’s use of falsetto was a little off-putting at first but I’ve come to like it. **The Barracudas** - We’re Living in Violent Times It’s a little like the Ramones, but not as fast and more controlled. The sentiments behind the song are genuine, but I wonder if they’re partly expressed in a tongue-in-cheek way. I like songs that do that. **The Beatles** - I’ve Just Seen A Face I didn’t notice this song until somewhat recently. I can’t believe I’ve missed it. I think it’s my favorite Beatles song now. **Iron & Wine** - Cinder and Smoke It’s almost six minutes long and doesn’t change a whole lot, but it feels like a much shorter song. It really draws me in. A lot of songs from the Replacements album Let it Be. I’ve found myself listening to it a lot while riding the bus, and I’ve come to like it even more than I did before. The only song on there I don’t like much is Sixteen Blue. ---

Oh yeah, one more thing: > [@bouv](#): > > “More than a Feeling” - Boston (damn you, Guitar Hero!) That’s gotta be one of the most underrated songs ever. It’s a great pop song. ---
