Tagged by [livejournal.com profile] moviegrrl for this one - and, as we know, I always do as I'm told.



Instructions: List seven songs you are into right now. no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your livejournal along with your seven songs. then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. The Men They Couldn't Hang: Silver Gun

I'm going to a party in another place
Thinking of the money I'm about to waste
Working for the champagne, drugs and fun
In my black handbag there's a silver gun


2. The Men They Couldn't Hang: Singing Elvis

About a cherry red jukebox, from the album of the same name.

3. The Men They Couldn't Hang: Rosettes

From Silver Town, a folk song about football hooligans. Fucking brilliant.

4. The Men They Couldn't Hang: Company Town

Also from Silver Town. I don't suppose I really need to repeat the "brilliant" comment.

5. The Men They Couldn't Hang: Lobotomy Gets 'Em Home

Silver Town, again, about Frances Farmer.

6. The Men They Couldn't Hang: Shirt Of Blue. A nostalgic little thing, about the miners' strike, sort of. I think.

7. A live, country-and-westerned-up version of I Wanna Be Sedated by John Hiatt. Amazing. And here you were thinking I wasn't listening to anyone but TMTCH. I am certainly listening to them a lot.

8 and 9: Because I never know when to stop when it comes to music: How Bad's The Coffee and Buffalo River Home by John Hiatt.

10: Because I might as well finish on a nice round number, The Standells: Dirty Water. Love that dirty water!

Tagging, hmm, let me see: [livejournal.com profile] terri_osborne, [livejournal.com profile] dalaire, [livejournal.com profile] bulletslc, [livejournal.com profile] grikmeer, [livejournal.com profile] hellfire82, [livejournal.com profile] pktrekgirl and [livejournal.com profile] kleesrosegarden.

Seven songs...but I'm NOT going to tag anyone...bleah! :-D

1. The Seer's Tower-Sufjan Stevens (my sis turned me on to this artist--plays most of his own instruments, has a ballad about John Wayne Gacy Jr on his last album and did his last tour with himself and band dressed as cheerleaders....they would break out into sponaneous cheers between songs, sis says...wish I'd known about him then....I would've gone!!!)
2. King of the Mountain-Kate Bush (newest Kate Bush single--references to Elvis and Citizen Kane....I really like this song!)
3. Bloodsport-Sneaker Pimps (Very cynical view of "love"....I like it ALOT!!!!
4. Born Too Slow-The Crystal Method (Love The Crystal Method! They make great soundtracks for the movies I make in my mind and this is the best song of the bunch (with Name of the Game running close second)
5. Right Where it Belongs-NIN (last song that made me cry....very, very moving for me!)
6. Precious-Depeche Mode (LOVE DM, LOVE this new single)
7. Lillian-Depeche Mode (another off their new album....fun spiteful little song!)

Bloody hell, you tagged me ten days ago and I forgot to do it - I didn't even have my brain rotted with flu then, so I've no excuse at all.

I can't even say I didn't see it, because I did. I remember saying to myself, "right, I'll do that later".

Arse. I'm awfullly sorry about that.

Oh how I love the Men They Couldn't Hang, favourite tracks are "Parted From You" and "Ghosts of Cable Street". "Sirts of Blue" was about the miners strike too.
Ahhh, I'd forgotten how much I loved "How Green Was the Valley" and "Waiting for Bonaparte"...
Damn my slack finances...

Who dat? I didn't know I knew anyone who'd even heard of them except for me plugging them like a very pluggy thing.

Silver Town was my first favourite. I bought my copy on cassette, from W.H.Smiths, reduced to about £1.50 because they'd lost the paper inlay thing and it was in a bare box. I'd never heard of the band, but the name seduced me and £1.50 wasn't a lot of cash.

Then I played it, and I've been in love ever since. They're just perfect.

I knew you liked Kirsty, so I should have guessed. I'm just accustomed to being the only person I know who's even heard of TMTCH.

I shall send you some of my MP3s now...
