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 blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to.

Turns out I'm not listening to much new music, which hurts my ego somewhat:

Saturday's Gone - Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan

I refuse to stop listening to this album.

Lucky Number Nine - Mouldy Peaches

I never really noticed the Mouldy Peaches first time around - a major oversight on my part - but bandmoreagain has put paid to that. Thanks.

Fucking Boyfriend - The Bird and The Bee

At least this one's only about a year old but I was saddened to learn that what I thought was my exciting discovery is already the name of a club night in that London. And it's probably the sort of club I would hate.

What's Love Got to Do With It? - Tina Turner

My Tina love (nurtured by my early employment experiences in a call centre in Ipswich and their dubious hold-music choices) has undergone a resurgence of late, aided by the discovery that it is pretty much the only song I can deliver on Singstar without cringing.

American Boy - Estelle

To my mind this is the best pop song of the year so far. I wish I could find a better version of this Sam Sparrow cover.

Stung - Mr Fogg

I love this song so much I could cry. I write regular begging letters to his MySpace which seem to be getting somewhere - rumours of an album in August...

DVNO - Justice

Because everything Justice do is golden to me.

iPod Dead

In other news, my iPod has died and I am not coping.

M.I.A. - Paper Planes

I never really got round to liking M.I.A. properly, despite seeing her being excellent in the dying days of Club Suicide (R.I.P), the first night I met the boy. This song has made me revisit her work and I'm loving every second of it.

Justice - DVNO

I didn't think I could love this song any more. Then I saw the video.

Fox n'Wolf

Youth Alcoholic

I'm actually incapable of not listening to this tune for more than about 2 minutes at the moment.

Fox n wolf are my new favourite stupidly-young electro outfit and are destined to be the next Hot Chip (with more neon).

Download Music From Your Friends' iTunes Libraries Over The Internet

Woot, basically.

"Share any song in your iTunes library and download any song from your friends' iTunes libraries over the internet with Mojo. Essentially, Mojo makes sharing music with your friends through iTunes wildly simple, from its simple interface to its brilliant implementation. If you've ever used apps like previously mentioned ourTunes to download music from shared libraries, you have an idea of what Mojo does, bu you should still prepare to be amazed."

Made even more pleasant for me because I get to lord the usable technology banner over my Linux friends once again. Get some usability, geeks.
