Everybody's gone surfin'

Edge tagged me for the Seven Songs meme. Since I'm all about getting good music noticed, this is right up my alley.

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 summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to. (...or not. If you want to play, be my guest.)

1. Strawberry Swing; Coldplay
Really, this whole album is insanely good. And I realize listing this makes me even whiter, according to Christian Lander.

2. It's Oh So Quiet; Björk
This chick is certifiably psycho, but I'm crazy about her.

3. Hummingbird; Wilco
This song speaks so many things to me about summer. It's probably my summer anthem.

4. Sugar Magnolia, Grateful Dead
Gah, I'm such a hippie sometimes.

5. You Don't Make It Easy Babe; Josh Ritter
"I'm trying hard to love you/But you don't make it easy, babe." Swoon!

6. Superstar; Tegan and Sara
Angry girl rock at its absolute finest.

7. Start Wearing Purple; Gogal Bordello
Totally bizarre. I love it.

Bonus: If I Never See Your Face Again; Maroon 5 featuring Rihanna
Pop perfection! This song is to summer music as snow cones are to summer carnivals.
