So, back in June, Chris Barrus tagged me with a meme:

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.

I know it's well past spring, but since I believe this is the only time I've ever been tagged, I feel like I should play along. I'll choose to interpret "right now" to mean at the time of Chris's post, and stick with stuff I was listening to in the spring (as near as I can remember) instead of what I've been listening to lately. As you can tell from my Last.fm charts, I don't actually listen to songs over and over again—I prefer variety to repetition. So, I listened to the songs below only two to four times, or maybe only once, but for some reason or another they were memorable to me. They're listed in no particular order. Following Chris's lead, I've included YouTube videos where they exist, and links to mp3s otherwise. (I would have made a muxtape but they're still battling the RIAA...)
