Seven Songs

I have a huge backlog of blog posts in the works, both the simple and mematical. So here's yet another meme, this time via Gretchen:

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.

1. "Standing Next to Me", The Last Shadow Puppets
   
2. "Oxford Comma", Vampire Weekend
   
   Songs #1 and #2 have something in common: I saw the videos on YouTube before I heard the songs anywhere else. And I saw the videos (as well as this one, which came out several months ago) just because they were directed by Richard Ayoade. And so, in my ongoing insane fantasy that if only we somehow had an opportunity for our paths to meet, Richard Ayoade and I would, of course, fall madly in love with each other I must support my future boyfriend's endeavours by watching these videos on YouTube over and over all summer. Turns out that he has pretty good taste in music and talent in music video-directing.
3. "Fill My Little World", The Feeling
   
   I actually bought a CD last week (I've asked for and received some as gifts, but haven't actually bought a whole CD in probably at least three years). It was this one. Good CD.
   
4. "It Only Takes a Moment" from Hello Dolly!
   
   I came home from seeing WALL-E and hunted down this song, which I've been listening to over and over since then.
5. "Oh My God", Lily Allen
   
   When I hear the chorus, I always think, "This would be good backing music for a video promoting study abroad."
6. "Goodbye Girl", Squeeze
   
   Micah brought up Squeeze at some point and was looking for a remix of this song. In hunting for it, I got to hear the regular version over and over again and while up to this point it had not been one of my favorite Squeeze songs, it is this summer.
7. "The Bakery", Arctic Monkeys
   
   I think it's about unrequited love, and how if two people's paths would cross, they would have the opportunity to fall in love. But they don't. *cough*RichardAyoade*cough*.
