Hey, I was actually tagged for 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 LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening to.

1. David Cook, "Hello" - American Idol emo rock version! Awesome.


2. Len Cariou and Angela Lovett, "Epiphany" and "A Little Priest" - "We alllll deserve to DIE! Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why..." Uh, I have a black sense of humor? Plus, cannibalism and throat-slitting! How could that be wrong?


3. The Lucksmiths, "Sunlight in a Jar" - So happy and cute!


4. Imani Coppola, "Legend of a Cowgirl"


5. Ikimono Gakari, "Kira Kira Train"


6. Rumblefish, "Smile Again"


7. Amelia, "Happy After All"

Not tagging because I am lazy.

I have not been blogging much about this online, but I got sucked into American Idol at last. It is strangely addicting, and I am a sad, sad fangirl of David Cook. On the complete other side, I have continued my binge listening of three different versions of Sweeney Todd, including the movie one, because I like movie!Toby a lot.

I may also be a sad, sad fangirl of Johnny Depp's speaking voice.

In other news, I have been gleefully watching both yhlee and vom_marlowe dipping their toes into the still but deep waters of knitting (pardon my horrible metaphors).

Yuki Kaori - Fairy Cube, vol. 01 (Eng. trans.)

Huh. I am not sure what to think of this. There have been a spate of killings called "the fairy murders," as each victim has a pattern of bloodspray around their back that looks vaguely like fairy wings.

Meanwhile, Ian has grown up thinking that he had green hair and red eyes, though he does not. He has also been able to see fairies, but because of saying this, he is known as a liar. His childhood friend Rin, whom he has not talked to since he rejected her years ago, has just moved back, and suddenly, Tokage, the cruel fairy who manipulates people around Ian, puts his evil plan into action.

Whew! It's nice to know that Yuki Kaori can still cram more plot into one volume than most people can into 5.

So far, I am very confused, as I had to flip back every other page to figure out what just happened, and I have no idea what is going on. Also, while there have been some interactions with Ian and Rin, Rin sadly has stopped being interesting and very quickly started being The Girl. Oh Yuki Kaori! Will you ever write women as cool as Alexiel again?

I am also sad, because I don't know how into this series I will get, given that there is only one more volume. But I will continue to read for the insanity!
