Songsies.

Fine, I'll do the song meme. You know, 7 songs you're into right now, tag 7, dot dot dot. Erm, if you've been clicking my links, you've got three of 'em at least already.
1.-3. U2 Beach Clips (400, 402, 404). Thank You (403) is a bit too slow for me, and 409's not as exciting (though I do like it a lot!) since it's all *that way* (pop-py? young-ish? you know, just that *sound* of music. I like it, but not as much as other stuff...) and is the Strokes' guitarist.
4. Wake Up - Arcade Fire. Very exciting. It's the last song to play before/until/and U2 hits the stage during it on this tour.
5. Yellow Ledbetter (acoustic) - Pearl Jam. 'Cause I've finally got meself a little PJ to start also preparing for/obsessing over. I like the different stuff at the end...if you've heard the older Pearl Jam singles a million times on the radio, like me, you'll notice.
6. Father of Mine - Everclear. Um, 'cause I dl'ed a few Everclear songs a couple weeks ago and it came on on teh winamp, and I enjoyed it. :)
7. Taylor - Jack Johnson. Esp. for whatagoodboy71, haha. Also came on on teh winamp. Beach music. Aloooo-ha!

You can tell where my mind is half the time...hey, I'm in *Minnesota*. This trip is all I have to cling to! Also, what's up with none of y'all uploading the songs you're recommending, huh? That's half the point! :p

hehe, I got tagged to do this meme this morning but I passed because all seven would end up being of The Little Mermaid soundtrack at the moment. XD

Hey, I was watching the pop culture tournament last night and one of the tie breakers was name all of U2's albums. They ended up not getting them all but I thought of you when they asked it, lol.

Yea, Little Mermaid! *I* wouldn't mind. :)

Dude, depending on what they call albums, I wouldn't know how to answer! Hopefully they were at least told how many they were expected to get.

They did but I forgot... I almost want to say 16 for some reason. I know it has to at least be an even number in case both players got them all right but they only got around to six or eight.

i love arcade fire. they have such a different sound and energy - really unlike anyone else i have heard before. they totally won me over when i saw them on conan last year. they're now on my "bands i must see before i die" list. :)

I seem to discover half of the bands I like by seeing them on Conan! He must have a great music booking person. I'd love to see 'em too. They opened for U2 during this tour, but, of course, not the shows I went to! I saw a video on youtube once of aaaaalll of them onstage together (arcade fire & u2) playing a song, it was cool.

i'll have to look that up. they should drag conan out there next time!

hi! I can't remember how I came across your lj, but you said to drop a comment... *is awkward*

Well, we both seem to like HP, the X files, U2, the Arcade Fire and House, so... would you mind if I added you as a friend and/or adding me back?

Wake Up is such a brilliant song.
"We’re just a million little gods causing rain storms
Turning every good thing to rust"
Beautiful.

I like how the diversity of instruments they use & how prominent they are. And yeah, their energy :-)

...and I like Star Trek and Radiohead too, so yea, go ahead. :)
You're reaching across enemy lines with the HP though--I'm a total Gryffindor. ;)

You won me over with the Daltons link (heehee!) a few entries down.
