Apparently I have been tagged..

So uh...I guess I have to list 10 songs I am digging at the moment. Umm..I did couple more than 10..c'est la vie.


1. Interpol - Evil. This song has been in my head for several months now. I love it, I blast it, I replay it. I like the video. I own the cd. The cd is great. Blah blah blah.

2. Kaiser Chiefs - I Predict a Riot. This one is good to drive fast too...I actually despise driving slow/being stuck in traffic to this song...and I just can picture people moshing to this or whatever.

3. Coldplay - Speed of Sound. Its overplayed. Its a blatant ripoff of Clocks. I still like it. I am sure Ill get over it quickly..but..for now, its on the list.

4. Jurassic 5 - Influence. It is a bit older, but it just got back into my rotation, and now its stuck there. Wish I knew the lyrics to it.

5. Sigur Ros - Staralfur. I dont know why, but its really peaceful and melodic (at least the first half is)..and it reminds me of the scene in The Life Aquatic when they saw the shark...which is about the only good scene in that movie. Just a good relaxing tune.

6. A mix of 3 songs..The Strokes - 12:51. Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #3. Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc. I like to hear these on my way home from work sometimes..puts me in a good mood..theyre just fun and sorta silly songs.

7. Psychadelic Furs - Heartbreak Beat. One of the local DJs has been playing it again..I had not heard it in a number of years..and I had forgotten how good a song it was. I need to get their greatest hits cd...anyone got the torrent? :)

8. Geggy Tah - In My Car. No reason..just a cool groove. It is fun, its lively. I had no idea the name of the artists..had to email Gustav, a local DJ, because I thought the name was "Gagging Toss"..which is quite humorous. He happily corrected me.

9. Pharrah Phosphate - Regret. Local Portland band with a cool name and a really cool tune. Unfortunately, I have heard a couple of their other songs and I did not enjoy them half as much. But this is a nice tune..kinda a rock ballad of sorts..but not in the cheezy Dokken or Motley Crue way.

10. Ok, I copped out here...A mish mosh of a bunch of songs that can be heard on "Grey's Anatomy"..ie..Keane, Ivy, Tegan and Sara, Bright Eyes..go check out the songs listed on the ABC website and download 'em! :)

10b - 2 songs on the recently "acquired" cds, Paris by Day, Paris By Night Volume 2. The first is Bertrand Bergalat - Transcontinental. The second is Gingko Garden - Eggs. They mix into each other and if you are into the jazz/lounge/chill music at all, you will definitely enjoy these two. I bought Paris By/Night Volume 1 a few years ago and really enjoyed it..never got around to getting the second volume, but managed to get it via a friend and have been definitely enjoying it since.

People I be taggin': Laura The Tooth, La La Land, and of course, The Big Lug

Oh my god...Geggy Tah. I love that song, I haven't thought of it in years. Now I will be signing it for 5 days straight. How cool that Gustav helped you out with that one.

I love Heartbreak Beat. I have the best of CD, although it's on its last leg. It's been through a lot over the years.

Hey finally started a blog. Feel free to keep checking in on me and see how much I can improve this. Meant to watch the meteor shower but we missed it. That was one of the first dates my boyfriend and I went on last year so we wanted to make it a tradition but we has issues that detained us.

The only one I have heard, of all these, is Coldplay and I'm not sure if I have even heard this particular song of theirs. :-)

Hey my cousin is in a band called Snowman and they toured with Interpol when they did some shows in Australia. Lucky bastards! They didn't get paid enough to even cover the airfares, but they got to hang out with them heaps and also got some great exposure to some new crowds. Sorry, I'm so proud of Snowman, I like to tell everyone...

And my family is from Iceland.. where Sigur Ros are from.. so I just had to tell you that as well. I never met the band, but I did meet a girl who had a child with the singer (but they split up).
