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 LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

This was hard, because I have two different fan-mixes in the works right now. One for my SPN Big Bang which is still a couple of months away and the other is a S3 Dean-centric mix that I seriously need to get finished before the season ends. So anyway, steering away from those songs and trying to keep a variation of themes, this is what I came up with:

Hound Dog by Big Mama Thornton
She’s an old school soul singer. This version is raw, big and authentic. I can’t stand Elvis Presley and I really like this despite the connection.

Game Of Love by Wayne Fontana
A very fun song. My dad used to listen to it all the time while he sang and danced around the kitchen. I think it was also on the soundtrack to Good Morning Vietnam.

Magical Mystery Tour by Ambrosia
My marching band did a fanfare to this song, and at the time I had no idea where it was from. (One day we should have a marching band geek-gasm and upload show songs to share.)

Leap Of Faith by Big & Rich
There are only certain kinds of country music that I can stand. Normally, I don’t go in for crooning about tractors or puppy dog eyes, but Big & Rich are the exception. This is one of their slower songs that I really like.

Stopping Off Place by Townes Van Zandt
Vaguely reminiscent of Johnny Cash. He’s got one of those soulful voices that I find very relaxing. The songs I have are all pretty sad, this one isn’t the worst though.

Left Turn On A Red Light by Blackfoot (feat. Rickey Medlocke)
A little more rock’n’roll here, but still a little country feeling. Here we go with some angry music. One day I’m going to write a Bela & Ruby hunt fic for it. : )

And finally: Sink Hole by Drive-By Truckers
I admit that I don’t know anything about vidding, but I think this would make an awesome SG-1 S9/S10/Ark vid. It’s a little over the top alt country, but has some repetition that would make for some good visuals. I think it’d be a good Daniel POV for the fight against the Ori. It even starts and ends on a semi religious/blasphemous note. Srsly, I’d whore myself out to anyone who wanted to give it a shot. I’m just sayin’…



SINK HOLE
I’ve always been a religious man, I ‘ve always been a religious man
but I met the banker and it felt like sin, he turned my bailout down
The Banker Man, he let into me, let into me, let into me
The Banker Man, he let into me and spread my name around
He thinks I ain’t got a lick of sense cause I talk slow and my money’s spent
Now, I ain’t the type to hold it against, but he better stay off my farm
Cause it was my Daddy’s and his Daddy’s before
and his Daddy’s before and his Daddy’s before
Five generations and an unlocked door and a loaded burglar alarm.

Lots of pictures of my purdy family, lots of pictures of my purdy family
lots of pictures of my purdy family in the house where I was born.
House has stood through five tornadoes,
Droughts, floods, and five tornadoes.
I’d rather wrastle an alligator than to face the Banker’s scorn
Cause he won’t even look me in the eye
He just takes my land and apologize,
with pen, paper, and a friendly smile, he says the deed is done.
The sound you hear is my Daddy spinning, The sound you hear is my Daddy spinning
The sound you hear is my Daddy spinning over what the Banker done.

Like to invite him for some pot roast beef and mashed potatoes and sweet tea
follow it up with some banana pudding and a walk around the farm
Show him the view from McGee Town Hill
Let him stand in my shoes and see how it feels
to lose the last thing on earth that’s real
I’d rather lose my legs and arms

Bury his body in the old sink hole Bury his body in the old sink hole
Bury his body in the old sink hole under cold November sky
Then damned if I wouldn’t go to church on Sunday
Damned if I wouldn’t go to church on Sunday
Damned if I wouldn’t go to church on Sunday
and look the Preacher in the eye.


I tag anyone who wants to do it! : ) Ready, set, go!

All of these are on Box so you can listen before you commit, and most the links under the music tag should still work. Apologies for any mistakes, just let me know and tell me what you think! : )

Yeah the last three aren't very well known at all, and the first three are old. I like putting unusual stuff out there. I don't listen to the radio very much, (and when I do, it's all classic rock) so I really have no idea what's popular at the moment.

Hope you like 'em!
