Tagged by tfbretz, and after what I heard about the last guy who refused one of his requests, I'm not about to pass on this.

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 summer. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to.

Since this time last week, I've been jazzed about the William Gibson signing (see a couple entries back).  That's as much an influence as anything on this list.

1.  "All Tomorrow's Parties," both the Velvet Underground original and the cover by Japan.
2.  "The Road Goes on Forever," Robert Earl Keen.
3.  "Welcome to Paradise," Front 242
4.  "Soldier Blue," The Cult
5.  "Gonna Get Close to You," Queensryche
6.  "Run Straight Down," Warren Zevon
7.  "Until the End of the World," U2

Let's see ... who do I want music ideas from?  I tag kinesys, he_who_hunts, rin_daemoko, xer0rules, mrteufel, maxsilver, and elalyr.
