7 songs, blah, blah, pictures of my kid, blah, blahMarch 19th, 2007 @ 7:01 am
I was tagged by the always awesome Jezer. And this one is all about music. Music, which I love.
Here’s the game:
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what they are. They must be songs you are presently enjoying. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.
So we all know about how I am lame and can’t ever decide what music to download on iTunes. I had that free download for way too long. And then I won another free download and then for Christmas I was given even more free downloads. What I’m saying is that I have been rolling in the free downloads.
A few weeks ago a coworker gave me 100 free downloads.
Did you hear me?
ONE HUNDRED FREE SONGS!
Of course this was with some odd music site (totally legal) and they don’t offer the same selection that iTunes does. It’s more indy music. But hey, I like indy music. And the 100 songs that I thought would take weeks to use up, were actually mostly used up in less than an hour.
(If you want to know how to get the 100 free downloads, let me know and I’ll totally hook you up.)
What I’m getting at is that I have so many new songs that it’s hard to pin point it to 7 songs that I’m currently into. (Plus, I can’t seem to get my iPod to give me an accurate play count.)
(oh, and it this post bores you to no end, just skip to the bottom where I will present you with adorable pictures of my Sweet Babboo!)
Here’s the list. In no particular order:
Zahl eins- Down Home Girl by Old Crow Medicine Show. I don’t know much about this band. Only that I love them. And that they appear to really enjoy the cocaine. (They talk about it in just about every one of their songs.)
Zahl zwei- Victor Vito by Laurie Berkner. Yes, I love my kid’s music. Especially Laurie. She’s good. The King likes her, Babboo likes, I really like her. (And believe it or not, I got a ton of her stuff with the free 100 downloads. Who knew she was so indy?)
Zahl drei- Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. For whatever reason this song has always been special to me. And since I just downloaded it, I can enjoy it anytime I want. Which is most of the time.
(notice how I’m keeping up with Jezer and counting in a different language?!)
Zahl vier- Wind it Up by Gwen Stefani. I have recently noticed that Gwen doesn’t really have an amazing singing voice. She would never make it on American Idol. Never. What she does have is awesome style. And funky beats.
Zahl fünf- (Oh my gosh, I just learned how to type out an umlaut on my keyboard. I am a genius.) Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk by Rufus Wainwright. If you have not had the pleasure of enjoying my Rufus Wainwright, please do so. He is dreamy and so is his music.
Zahl sechs- Timebomb by the Old 97’s. I was able to download this song off their new Alive & Wired cd. This band is so awesome, but even more awesome live.
Zahl sieben- I Am My Own Grandpa by Asylum Street Spankers. I just got this song for Babboo last week, but I can’t stop listening to it myself. Mostly because I’m trying to figure it all out. I thought about making a spreadsheet to make sense of it all.
I think I’ve got it. So the guy married an older lady who had a grown daughter. Then the grown (step) daughter marries the guy’s Dad. Which makes his son his (step) son-in-law. Then his Dad and his (step) daughter have a baby. And since it’s his wife’s daughter’s kid, that kid is his (step) grandchild. Wait, so how is he is own grandpa?
Crap, I don’t get it. I really do need to make a spreadsheet.
So there you have it. My 7 songs that I’m super in to this week. As for the 7 people to tag, well if you want to do it, great. And make sure you tell me you are doing it. Because I still have like 4 free downloads left and am itching to use them!
Oh, and here are the promised pics of my Sweet Babboo:
Yes ma, that is cookie* on my face. Give me more. Damn it.
He’s sleeping through the night. If this is what it takes to make it happen, well then, I’m all for it.
*by cookie, I totally mean cracker.

Tell me you did not just count to seven in German. I love it.
“Wind It Up” is an awesomely fun song, but yes, Gwen Stefani is not so much with the awesome singing voice.
I am STILL listening to all of my cheesy love song CDs and enjoying every minute, but you saw the list, plus some of the new JT stuff, but I’m sure you have that, too. Other songs I’m loving include:
“La la” by Ashlee Simpson. Luke is into a Playstation DS2 video game (yes, my husband is 33 and loves video games) that uses a version of that song, and I can’t stop listening to it.
“Baby Baby Baby” by TLC. A little old school, but can you blame me? It’s freaking TLC, people!
Also, I found my old Stevie Nicks box set over the weekend and totally plan on adding that duet she did with Kenny Loggins to iTunes tonight.
Looking back, these probably won’t be available through your indie site. Maybe some old Liz Phair? “Johnny Sunshine,” “The Divorce Song,” and “F*ck and Run” are some great ones off her debut. And “Jealousy” from Whipsmart is one of my favorites from her EVER. Check her out, yo.

Oh my DEAR BABBOO. He does NOT sleep like that? I love it. That boy sleeps hard! LOVE IT! I’m sooo happy to hear he’s sleeping through the night! Whew.
I got tagged, too, for this meme but I’m too embarrassed to play along as I never listen to music anymore. It would mostly be kids music. Well, maybe I’ll do it anyhoo.
Rock on.

Ok, can I just say that the picture of Babboo with his feet hanging out of the crib? Cutest. Most hilarious. Most adorable. Picture. Ever.
And hook me up with the downloads too. Please?

Laurie Berkner rocks! We listen to her all the time. Zach has even started singing along.
I would love to be hooked up with the free music too. I’m always looking for something new to listen to.

Baboo is too precious! I can’t get enough of him! Of course, the fact that he was born on my birthday only means he’s going to be THAT MUCH cooler as a result. We April 18 babies are the absolute best.
May I be hooked up with some free music? Pretty please?

“It may sound funny, I know, but it really is soooo! I’m my own grandpa!”
That song is also done well by Goofy on a Disney compilation. :0)
That one of Babboo in his crib is a rip! Could you imagine falling asleep that way?? (Whatever gets them through the night, right?)
Congrats on the sleep!

That last picture of him sleeping is way too cute. That really doesn’t look comfortable at all, but I guess when you’re tired, you’re tired.

Henry totally sleeps horizontally in his crib, too. With the legs sticking straight out. First time I saw it, it scared the crap out of me–I also almost broke his legs coming around the corner of the crib.
Great 7 songs–very eclectic!
Also, Laurie Berkner, I lurf her in spite of myself, I think. It’s all about ‘We Are the Dinosaurs…”

PASSED OUT. I wish I could sleep that hard (and look that cute doing it)!
I love the whole Gwen CD. Her voice is OK at best, but she makes up for it with style. I love her.

Oh my LORD! That picture is awesome. (Also, my kid has the same pajamas…our sons are therefore both super cool.)
Congrats on your Whoorlie!
Also, my love for you continues to grow, since I randomly had the same issue with the “My Own Grandpa” song a while back, and did a little research. I just searched for what I’d found, and it’s still there. You’re welcome:
