Sing Along / 7 Songs Meme

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Woo Hoo - I was tagged by Amber for a meme I can actually get into!

“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 summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.”

  1. Ponta De Areia - Esperanza Spaulding (The most refreshing thing to happen to jazz in awhile) | Amazon
  2. You Know What - N*E*R*D (I pretty much love the entire new project) | Amazon
  3. Little Bit - Lykke Li (Where my head is at these days) | Amazon
  4. Message To Love - Jimi Hendrix (funky!) | Amazon
  5. Tapes - Alanis Morisette (most beautifully, self-deprecating song of 2008) | Amazon
  6. You’ll Find A Way (Switch and Sinden Remix) - Santogold (This is the remix) | Amazon
  7. I’m Waiting - Lizz Fields (Lizz brings a classic, classy sound to the “nu soul” scene) | Amazon

Of course this list comes as no surprise to those who stalk my last.fm profile.

I tag:

  1. Lynne
  2. Melissa
  3. Jason
  4. Derrick
  5. Lanie
  6. EJ
  7. Tessa

I try to edit and re-edit everything I submit for publishing. Hopefully, when I return to blogging at SoVo, they’ll catch mistakes like this:

In the Trees / Weekend List

I contemplated posting a politically-themed rant today. I’ll spare you for now; it’s too hot for that type of nonsense. So hot, that people have reported makeup melting in their purse. so hot, the freezers at the local Kroger went on the fritz. Just. too. damn. hot.

And it’s only July (erm… see comments).

This Weekend’s List

Return of the Mack / Weekend List

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

After being somewhat absent online, I’m going to try to ease back into blogging. Sounds good? Last week was short but a bit rough. So I decided to enjoy my weekend. Of course that means I spent a lot of money. I’ll have to make that up by being extra frugal these next couple of week.

One of the more interesting things about getting older is noticing how your tastes change - at least that’s the case for me. Food I never touched I eat regularly. And people whose company I used to enjoy annoy me (and vice versa). What’s that about?
