My Seven Songs

Warren Ellis has tagged me in one of those wretched memes, this one called Seven Songs.

First, I must post the directive: "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. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to."

Ellis adds: "These things circulate like a dose of the intellectual clap." I guess this means Ellis has given me a dose of virtual gonorrhea. Thank you, Warren.

1. "Alice" by Nick Bertke who made the video, lives in Australia, and is nineteen. I can't listen to it enough, and it was this tune that compelled me to start writing my porn novel, Happy, some 50 pages ago. I listen to it when I write.

2. "Give It 2 Me" by Madonna. Embarrassing, no? Clearly, I have no class. Right now, "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila" is playing on the TV behind me. I'm trash. At least I know it.

3. "Wish" by Franka Potente and Thomas D. Otherwise known as the song from "Run Lola Run." Sometimes I have issues with getting motivated. This song gets me going. Komm zu mir, indeed.

4. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" as done by Susanna and the Magical Orchestra. Totally good tune for when you want to feel bad. Some people like feel good songs. Some people like feel bad songs. We are Susanna(h)s.

5. "Electric Alice" by Grinderman. Play it at my funeral.

6. "The World's Gone Mad" by Handsome Boy Modeling School and featuring Del the Funky Homosapien, et al. Such a pretty caterwaul starts this ditty. Sounds like a broken heart if a broken heart could speak. Has the world gone bad? Maybe. But listenin' to Mr. Funky Homosapien's spittin' makes you want to make up and fuck.

7. "Breakfast" by Le Le. "Bitch. You breakfast. Bitch, you breakfast. You breakfast. You breakfast. You the cheese on my baguette, the jelly on my bread, the French on my toast. Where the ho's at?" Warren Ellis, you breakfast.

Hey, maybe somebody could turn these into a Muxtape.
