So, 7 songs I'm into now. Not my 7 favourite songs, that's not what I really take this to be about. Songs that I've found drifting through my head, unbidden, recently.
Modest Mouse - Float On
What can you say? Future classic, will be on radio playlists for years and years and everytime it's played people will go, "Oh, I really love this song, who's it by?" and no one will know.
Radiohead - Karma Police
Standing in Victoria Park on a lovely sunny summer evening with, what, 40 000 people quietly singing "This is what you get, this is what you get, this is what you get when you mess with us," to that nursery rhyme melody is a genuinely spooky experience that will stay with me for a long while.
Cherry Ghost - People Help the People
My Grandma died in Autumn last year, about the time I was listening this album to death on my MP3 player. On the train home from work a couple of days after she died, I was in floods of tears listening to this song.
Sara Bareilles - Love Song
Listen to Capital FM in the car when the missus is driving otherwise might not have come across this one. Quality pop music.
Ryan Adams - Halloweenhead
Ryan doing his best Neil Young impression. Proof that lyrics don't really matter all that much.
The Fray - Hips Don't Lie
Scrub through to about 1:00 minute in. Now I like the original but this is brilliant.

Thanks Bentos - I'm off to listen to those I don't know... :-)
I'm afraid I don't know any of them.

I knew modest mouse and I like them....am I cool now? :)
JJ, only if I am which, frankly, I'm seriously beginning to doubt these days.
Dude, you going to do that 'draw yourself as a teenager' thing?
i would just have to draw a chubby bouncy ball, and it would be a perfect match :)
