Well I must say, now I feel like I'm an official member of blogland. I’ve just received my first tag ever from my friend Houseband :)I haven’t really gotten into the whole meme thing… I feel like my whole life revolves around schedules, and I just can’t bring myself to participate in the Monday this or the Thursday that. But a meme about music? Now you’re talking about something near and dear to my heart.
I grew up on my parents’ extensive collection of vinyl, which covered just about everything in Motown and classic rock from the 60’s and 70’s. But my musical tastes are quite diverse, as I’ve always been very musically open-minded. I will listen to anything, from alternative rock to classical, old standards to techno, R&B, jazz, new age… you name it. I even went through a major reggae spell after our recent trip to Jamaica.
The rules of The Musical Se7en Tag are to cite seven songs or CD’s that you’ve listened to recently, write something about them, and then tag seven others to do the same. I think I'm going to leave the tagging part open-ended... please feel free to participate!
I was going to tell you about a CD I made recently for myself, with some of my favorite songs of all time. But you’ve probably heard them all before. Well, maybe not. Maybe I’ll save them for another post.
For the meme, I’m going to share some songs that are new to me. I love love love to hear new music. My favorite songs are like old friends, always there for me, always capable of bringing out some joy, a memory, a smile, or maybe just some head nodding to the beat. But new music, well, those are my new friends, and new friends are fun to meet and get acquainted with!
I’m addicted to my satellite radio. I still haven’t gone through all the stations yet, but I will eventually, I’m sure, during my hour and 15 minutes of driving each way to the office and back. This little radio is the only thing keeping me sane right now with all this commuting.
And here are seven songs that made my ears perk up this past week:
From Channel 20 – Octane (Pure Hard Rock)
Sweet Sacrifice by Evanescence
So there they are – that’s my seven. I’ll hope you’ll give one or two a listen. Maybe you’ll even make a new friend.

With all the filters we have here on our network, I'm not sure if the links to the music are being filtered out or if they aren't functioning. From here on my work computer, it doesn't look like the codes I put are working. Can anyone listen to the music I posted? Just curious...
No music. I love Beck though, I love how all his albums are so different. Incubus is okay, I love their Make Yourself album that I never get tired of.
Hi Silverneurotic! No music huh? Darn codes! I wish I knew what I was doing with this stuff.
I love Make Yourself too! It just doesn't get old :)
Your list has got to be the coolest list among the other cool ones so far
Thanks for playing, Tammie! =)
Hi Houseband! And thanks! I'm immensely disappointed, though, that the links aren't working. Maybe I can figure it out tonight at home and repair my post!
I wish I could listen to the music, too. Looks like a very interesting list!
Looks like some great stuff here! No links, though, which is too bad because I'm always looking for new music. I'll have to check these out some other way. :)
I've never been a big fan of DM, but I do like that song. I also think Amy Lee has an amazing voice. She does some really interesting stuff with it too.
Tammie Jean, it's caption contest time again!
Happy Easter!
Hello,
I am out reading all my favorites this morning and I am sad to say not familiar with any of your music, too bad the links didn't work. I love all kind of music, except hip hop and rap. They give me an actual headache, I let folks bring music to listen to while they train and they have widened my perspective on modern music. I have to admit to being a fan of 60's music, classical, and Elvis Costello.
You've got some eclectic tastes here! I can't say Incubus is my favorite band ever, but the fact that its yours tells me you're very unique. And that's great! I love music that most of my friends never heard.
That's really cool. All of those songs are totally new to me. I'll have to check some of them out.
I'm not always open to new music, but I'm getting better. My Soul Patrol brothers and sisters have shown me that it doesn't have to come from before 1984 to be good music.
I had my doubts, but they haven't steered me wrong yet.
Yes Yes!
Flathead, I Think I'm In Love, Dig,
Sweet Sacrifice, Reflect. Good music. Thanks for Imeem, I am going to check it out now that I have signed on.
Sorry for the delay in getting back here... every once in a while, real life takes over...
Hi Lizza! Yes, unfortunately I'm not as blog-savvy as you are! One of these days I'll figure out how to put the links in nicely.
Hi Velvet Girl! Sorry about those links... I'm not very good at this. I'll have to read up a bit and take another crack at this sometime...
Hi Diesel! Hmm... something tells me I've probably missed the latest caption contest. I do love how you always have something interesting going on over in your little corner of the blogosphere. I'll be stopping by to see what you're up to :)
Hi Silverneurotic! And thank you! I hope you enjoyed the holiday too :)
Hi Dan! I can't say that I have a favorite band... my tastes are far too wide and my musical moods ever-changing. But some bands I consistently enjoy, and Incubus is one of them. And yes, I probably am unique ;)
Hi Travis! I'm extremely open to all kinds of music. But 1984, well, songs from that era have the unfair advantage of having memories of my youth associated with them, so they will always be good! But new music is good too... new music and new memories :)
Hi Bankerchick! Wow, I'm glad you were able to check some of them out! And even more glad you found some that you like! Imeem is fun to click around... songs that I haven't been able to find in other sites I have found there.
