Music Meme

Holly nabbed me to do this music meme.

Da Rules:

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. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

You’re all going to think I’m plugging, but I’m really not. I have a greatest hits CD in my car right now, so this is what I’m listening to. Honest.

Bob recorded a CD for me of his own songs (not his band’s stuff), and I love this one. It kind of reminds me of Carlos Santana stuff.

Latin Blues


Death of a Gay Waiter – Mary Carves the Chicken
This was off the first MCTC album in 1994, and the bridge is so relevant all these years later – I just want to shout it out to our conservative government:
“Hey you – you want to be a hero – love your fellow human being
You – who call yourselves Christians
Sitting in your Judgement seats
Remember Jesus never bashed a homo
Jesus never hurt nobody
Jesus never put nobody down.”

I guess it’s obvious it was written during their God phase…


Half Empty – Double Wide (MCTC’s country persona)
Page wrote this when his long-time relationship was breaking up. When Bob and I heard it for the first time, we both wanted to cry. No doubt about it, this man is amazingly talented.


By Far – Mary Carves the Chicken
Page wrote this for his then girlfriend, now wife. But the first time Bob played it for me was on an acoustic guitar in a parking lot after a gig about 2 years ago, and it couldn't have meant more to me in that moment than if he'd written it himself. I cried.


Walk Forever By My Side – The Alarm
This is kind of “our song”. If we had a song, we both agree, this would be it. It’s the first love song we listened to off an album together back in ’85 (yes, album, as in vinyl).


So Much Need – Mary Carves the Chicken
This one just says so much about the over the top society we live in. And how we have a responsibility to pitch in and do something.


Because I’m Awesome – The Dollyrots
Jeff loves this one. We love it because it so epitomizes him and his life and he has absolutely no idea that it is making fun of everything he always says about himself. LMAO!


OK, do it if you feel like it…
