Erin tagged me with a meme yesterday, and I was all excited when she told me, because I’ve never been tagged before.
And then I saw the meme. It’s not bad, but my answers are horrible (for people who are not me), as my music tastes are firmly in the teenage emo punk-pop-power ballad these days. My music choices have also been based on the fact that I’ve got a few concerts lined up in the next few weeks, and I always gorge on music by the upcoming bands. It also doesn’t help that I’m an album listener, and almost never listen to random.
If I was going to answer with the absolute last seven songs I listened to on my iPod, it would be all Death Cab for Cutie, since their latest album Plans has been in constant rotation, and I listened to it all the way to School.
I’ll spare you all the boringness of that, and throw down my seven songs of choice, from the most recent albums I’ve listened to.
- Crooked Teeth - Death Cab for Cutie
- Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year - Fall Out Boy
- We Write Sins Not Tragedies - Panic! at the Disco
- Dusk and Summer - Dashboard Confessional
- Chicago is So Two Years Ago - Fall Out Boy
- Rapid Hope Loss - Dashboard Confessional
- Marching Bands of Manhattan - Death Cab for Cutie
As for tagging? I don’t expect anyone to actually do this, and Erin tagged the people I would have, so I must branch out. So, Fishy, Rockstr, Gomeler, Zanzaban, Karmatosed, Neogeek, and all of MySpace: have at it.
Word. I’m doing this meme right now and I’m purposely having to diversify my answers so I don’t have 7 songs by the same artists. I’ve been overplaying 2-3 albums lately.
At least some people are still making albums that are actually albums and not just a plethora of tracks thrown on one disc and packaged up.
KIDS THESE DAYS. DON’T KNOW WHAT GOOD MUSIC IS. GO BRING ME A SWITCH.
Cool list but
Chris: You are so right.I’m so old school, if you give me an older album, I know exactly which song comes after what, and I’m disapointed if it’s not there.
Colin: I’m so so sorry. I know how you feel. If I had seen your post, I totally would have tagged you. This is seriously the first meme I’ve ever been tagged with, and I didn’t know who to tag, hense, tagging all of MySpace.
Which shows how low I’ll go, since its common knowledge that I loath MySpace with my every cell in my body.
Yae for Dashboard! I’m really not a fan of their new stuff. Out of curiosity (and because I know that /I/ always like getting recommendations for music) did you know that the original line-up for Further Seems Forever included Chris as their lead singer? Good stuff if you like emo / indie stuff (like your list would suggest).
