I got tagged for this absolutely ages ago by phoenixchilde and I was so thrilled at actually being tagged for a meme that I... completely forgot to do it. Heh.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs.

I'm not sure about 'shaping my spring' because I'm really not sure that spring actually exists, yet, although the sun on my shoulder is attempting to change my mind.

1. Glass of Water by Andrew Bird.
Andrew Bird is an exceedingly talented musician and I only have a few tracks by him but this one is, at present, my favourite; it reminds me of bright colours and pixar and couples dancing with bizarre footwork.

2. Raga Jhinjhoti (Drut Teentaal Gat) by Aditya Verma.
I'm really not sure where this one came from - possibly ileliberte? - but it showed up on my iPod one day while I was sitting on a bench at the university in the sun, watching the boy ducks chasing the girl ducks and the boy students chase the girl students and sometimes the boy ducks chase the girl students, and laughing quietly to myself at the ridiculousness of the world. It's very different from the majority of the music that I have, and it both distracted me from and centered me in the world so that I couldn't concentrate on people watching or book reading, and instead had to drape myself across the bench and watch clouds float across the sky.

3. Outlandish 3 by Tobias Roberson.
Because not everyone classifies 'music' the same way and this makes me want to dance like nothing else. I got this from unamaga, it's from an album called Le Serpent Rouge which is different and incredible in its entirety.

4. Back From Space by Amon Tobin.
Another slightly different version of 'music' and no better description than epic. This is atmospheric in that it creates a whole world of noise, and if you listen to it alone in the dark you could easily believe you were somewhere else entirely. This was the first track I heard by Amon Tobin, and now I have... six albums? Something of a fan.

5. A Punk by Vampire Weekend.
And an abrupt shift in mood, here. This song has the cutest video in the world, which is the first point in its favour and the reason it came to my attention; it's also relentlessly upbeat and I use it for my alarm on my phone because there is no way that a day that starts with this song can begin badly.

6. Someone Great by LCD Soundsystem.
This one is different to my usual tastes, but it's - it's more about the fact that my little sister loves it, and has wildly different tastes to me but we respect each other's taste, and we get on better and better with time, and she's evolving into this incredibly awesome person who I am seriously proud to be related to, and she made me a CD and that makes me happy. :) Also, the song is exceeding good.

7. Laugh by Incredible G.
*giggles helplessly* Um. This is a techno remix that my little sister made of my laugh when she was 11. I rediscovered it recently and it just makes me laugh so very much that I really had to include it. Possibly the only laugh more embarrassing is this one.

Let me know what you like!

Vampire Weekend in general, actually. I think the whole radio station here's fallen in love with that CD. (Partial to Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa and Oxford Comma, myself.)
I might nab the Andrew Bird, as I don't have that one. Will see after I eat something.

Psst, you messed up your links. 6 is a bad link, and 7 actually links to "Someone Great".

But I liked what I did download! It's all very interesting and different than my usual stuffs. :) I think my favourite would have to be "Back From Space" because it just sounds so otherworldly and space-y and I am a huge space geek.
