"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."
Okey dokey, artichokey:
Wale - Daytona Squared (My new favorite rapper, he doesn't have an album yet but everyone should download the
100 Miles and Running mixtape!)
Santogold - Lights Out (M.I.A. + ability to sing = Santogold)
Born Ruffians - Kurt Vonnegut (Another quality Toronto band. What's in Canada's water?)
Animal Collective - Water Curses (Awesome single from their new EP)
MGMT - Electric Feel (Springtime dance music. Shake that booty.)
Islands - The Arm (Great first track from a largely underwhelming second LP)
The Roots - Rising Down (I'm not the biggest Roots fan, but the Wale verse and the Chrisette Michele hook combined with a vintage Black Thought performance make this one a keeper.)
I'm not going to tag anyone, though. Deal.
