List seven songs you\u2019re into right now … no matter what they are. BUT they must be songs you\u2019re presently enjoying.<\/i><\/p>\n

The New Pornographers – The Bones Of An Idol<\/b> (from Twin Cinema)
Any song that Neko Case sings in the New Pornographers invariably is their best. When the instruments kick in overdrive after she sings “but something keeps turning us on” it is head-bobbin’ time.<\/p>\n

Lou Reed – Halloween Parade<\/b> (from New York)
This song from his New York album is achingly beautiful, simple and sad, and filled with lots of affection. One of my favorite songs of his, I’d also match it with any songs of the Velvet Underground. It’s that good.<\/p>\n

Pylon – This, That<\/b> (from Chain)
Man, I am digging Pylon. They were contemporaries of R.E.M. way back when in Athens, GA. Not to be confused with some recent band from the UK also calling themselves Pylon. Great guitar, singing, drumming. This just happens to be the Pylon song that is getting the most airplay these days for me.<\/p>\n

Donovan – There Is A Mountain<\/b> (from a Greatest Hits collection)
I heard this song emanating out of the PA speakers in a store called Hobo, which is basically a cheap version of Home Depot. I had never heard it before, but really, really liked it. As soon as I got home I popped some lyrics I was able to make out into a search engine. Minutes later I was grooving out to it. Fantastic song.<\/p>\n

The Everly Brothers – Illinois<\/b> (from Roots)
I really love the Everly Brothers. I immediately went for this song, ’cause I am sucker for all things Illinois. A really pretty song, with nice piano and their great, inimitable voices.<\/p>\n

Leonard Cohen – The Captain<\/b> (from Various Positions)
I love this song, it’s really bouncy. And I love the lyrics, particularly the lines:

“Complain, complain, that’s all you do
Ever since we lost
If it’s not the Crucifixion
Then it’s the Holocaust”
<\/i><\/p>\n

The Magnetic Fields – I Don’t Want To Get Over You<\/b> (from 69 Love Songs, Vol. 1)
Nice synthy song. Like a lot of Stephin Merritt’s songs, the lyrics are really clever. He drops a nice lyrical bomb at the end.

“Or I could make a career of being blue
I could dress in black and read Camus
Smoke clove cigarettes and drink vermouth
like I was seventeen
that would be a scream
But I don’t want to get over you”
<\/i><\/p>\n

Consider yourself tagged if you haven’t done this yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
