Dusbury Trifecta

I also meant to crib this meme from Dusbury over the weekend, but got distracted.

Rules: Pick seven songs that you’re into right now, list them. Pick seven friends who have to repeat this process, list them.

I can’t pick just seven. If you’ve got a blog, I’d love to know what you’ve been listening to lately. Or just leave a comment.

Here’s my list.

1- Dakota (Stereophonics). Grabbed this while surfing around iTunes and it’s been on every cd I’ve burned for my car this summer. Six or seven weeks of hearing it every day and I’m still not sick of it.

2- When In Rome (Nickel Creek). The new single from the neo-bluegrass band. It’s a little heavier than most of their other stuff, but it sounds great.

3- It Ended On An Oily Stage (British Sea Power). Sounds like a new version of Psychedelic Furs.

4- ELT (Wilco). I cannot get enough of the first 90 seconds or so of this song. The pedal steel guitar blending with the synthesizer just sounds so perfect.

5- Space Age Love Song (Flock of Seagulls). A classic.

6- Don’t Change (INXS). Another classic. Saw some guy perform this on Rockstar: INXS the other night. It’s a shame Michael Hutchense isn’t around anymore. And what a way to go.

7- Wires (Athlete). This is one of those Coldplay-ish bands. I downloaded this song when it was free on iTunes and I really like it, yet I have no desire whatsoever to get their whole album, because I think it’d be song after song of the same thing. This one song’s good enough for me.

By the way, the free iTunes download this week is by “Oklahoma City-based band” Hinder. Who the hell is Hinder? I’ve only been gone a year and a half. I have never heard of this band before. BTW, I didn’t particularly care for the song. Sounded like a Nickelback rip-off.
