List seven songs you are into right now. No matter the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying right now. Post these instructions, the artist, and the song in your Livejournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

I have a bit of a problem with this one. Since my iPod is mostly useless to me at the moment, I'm not actually listening to much music; when I do, it's on the treadmill with the iPod plugged into its cradle. And I have a fairly regular set of workout music. So I'll have to go with samplings from that, and/or what songs are currently regularly songvirusing me.

Jonathan Coulton - "Skullcrusher Mountain"
Russell Crowe - "Mr. Harris"
Great Big Sea - "John Barbour"
Great Big Sea - "Ordinary Day"
Joss Whedon - Firefly theme song
Carbon Leaf - "Raise the Roof"
Carbon Leaf - "Paloma"

I won't tag anyone, just because I generally don't, but spread the meme or not as you like!

Ahh, I like most of those choices. I do not know who Jonathan Coulton is.

Heh! I just edited one of the GBS ditties out since the Firefly theme song has actually been songvirusing me more often lately, but!

Jonathan Coulton is a quirky, witty folk singer kind of out of the same mold as Tom Lehrer, only geekier. "Skullcrusher Mountain" is from the point of view of a lovesick mad scientist bent on destroying the world, and it's hysterical. ;)

Ooooh, sweet! Geekier then Tom Lehrer, I must seek him out.

If you like math geekery, his song "Mandelbrot Set" is also most excellent. :D
