Feedback Friday (#21)

A wise philosopher once said that if you sit by the river long enough you'll see your enemy go floating by. I think in my case it would be more accurate to say that if I sit on my @$$ staring at the computer screen long enough someone will sneak up behind me and tag my sorry no-account self. Well, it happened. I's been tagged.

Thanks Laurie.

Seriously, this one looks to be pretty cool . . . so we're readily suiting up for action.

The best part is that everyone gets to play. Yep, you heard right. I've decided to turn this mutha on it's proverbial head and open it up to every single coherent person out there. At least those who are unfortunate enough to find themselves with nothing else to do on a perfectly good friday than to participate in yet another Procrastination Station Feedback Friday Extravaganza.

So here are the rules (as far as I can tell) -

You gotta list the 7 songs that you've been listening to the most in the past few days. It doesn't matter if you do or do not have an iPod . . . ya got ears, yes? Then pony up and let us know what 7 songs have been moving your needle lately. That's it . . . that's the assignment. This should be a real blast hearing about what everyone out there has been hearing.

The GOOD news is that I'm not gonna officially tag anyone else. That means there's no need to scuttle home furiously to your own dark corner of the internet and immediately perpetuate the joy of this particular "meme" by way of a lengthy (and somewhat-less-than-interesting) post about your 7 favorite Michael Bolton and Celine Dion duets on your own blog. The BAD news is that I want some serious participation in my lil' comments section. I know that there are some music freaks out there and I want to see some lists of 7 popping up real soon. Mark (Willie & Waylon and the boys), Brother O (Hey, there's Edge . . . He's cool too!), Stringman (I'm looking forward to this one), FredCQ (Bring on the Metal, baby!), Sadie (the World's newest Echo & The Bunnymen fanatic), Terri (The Queen of Guinness-Land), Lingoslinger (Podcast Tease #1), and anyone else who misspelled plaidwarehouse.com and found themselves at my door-step, staring down the working end of a question so finely tuned and expertly delivered that the only possible option is to simply stay and provide an answer.

Ah, such a well-oiled machine . . .

Okay, so here's my list (I've decided to go with an eclectic theme. I listen to alot of music, but here are 7 of the strangest bedfellows on my iPod). Enjoy!

1. Candy Everybody Wants by 10,000 Maniacs - This is a fun song by a fantastic group with one of the best names in popular music.

2. Dixieland Delight by Alabama - "Rolling down a backwoods, Tennessee by-way . . . One arm on the wheel" Gotta love it.

3. Corcovado by Astrud Gilberto - Ah, to be young, tan and on the beach in Rio de Janeiro. Count me in.

4. Nightshift by The Commodores - I love the bassline in this song. It feels like the night. Cool stuff.

5. Radiation Vibe by Fountains of Wayne - Sort of like a cult version of Weezer . . . only not.

6. Wasted Years by Iron Maiden - This has to be one of the most relentlessly awesome heavy metal songs. Takes me right back to one of the best times in my short life.

7. Inner City Blues by Marvin Gaye - Dude can sing.

I'll go ahead and throw in the song I'm listening to as I type this out as a bonus . . .

Three Days by Jane's Addiction - there are parts of this song that can literally shake your soul. It actually feels like you have broken through and gone somewhere you probably shouldn't have only to return sometime later a changed person.

Well, that's my 7 (er 8) cents. Now it's your turn.

This should be fun . . .
