Seven songs I’m into right now
On May 9, Ajay tagged me in a post he did about seven songs he’s into right now — or, at the time anyway. Here is my long overdue list:
- Soldier Machismo - Fiction Plane
- Waste Our Time - The Between
- Pump It Up - Elvis Costello
- Love Slip Up On Ya - The Funky Meters
- The Road Not Taken - Bruce Hornsby
- Walking In Your Footsteps (live 2007) - The Police
- Can You Picture That - The Muppets
I wonder what Bob Goyetche, Jeff Parks, Terry Fallis and David Jones, Chris Brogan and Sage Tyrtle are listening to.

Terry`s been listening to the same songs since I`ve known him. I promise that my list will have tunes from this year, this decade, this century.

Spur 58
All We Can Say
(yes, this is Christian pop, yes, I am an atheist, no, I can’t explain my fascination either)
Richard Shindell
Wisteria
(the lovely story of coming back to see a house he once owned)
Passion
Farewell Letter
(Broadway musical. Don’t tell anybody.)
Kurt Elling
Leaving Again / The The Wee Small Hours
(jazz)
Porter Block
Down Down Down
(I’m convinced the songwriter grew up in the same California neighbourhood I did. Because…yeah. It’s like that there.)
Mussorgsky
Sempre moderato pesante
(classical)
The Majestic Twelve
Condoleezza, Check My Posse
(they made a round - like when you have 3 people singing “Row Row Row Your Boat” - using evil people’s names, which WORKS, except then you find yourself walking down the sidewalk singing “Ann Coulter / Ann Coulter / Rush Limbaugh” and people are afraid of you)
Also: there are no Muppet songs on my list. (At our house, vampires and zombies are de rigeur, Muppets are shunned as evil entities by the junior member of the household.) If there were a Muppet song, however, it would be: “I’m Going to Go Back There Someday”.
