Right now, it’s [“Bellarmine” by Battery](http://www.amazon.com/Distance-Battery/dp/B000000GY4). It’s a little catchy, but has more to do with the fact that it was the last song I listened to.

[Alice](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAwR6w2TgxY), made worse by the fact that she’s not so much singing words as she’s just making sounds in a somewhat melodic fashion.

Belanova’s [Baila mi Corazón](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQfXUq8PKwk). A Mexican band that looks and sounds like (and is as catchy as) a lot of the j-pop groups.

I bought this album and I cannot stop listening to it, and I can’t get the song out of my head.

Saw Cats on Tuesday night. Still humming/whistling “Jellicle songs for Jellicle cats.” I’m reading false positive on dozens of gaydars by now.

Enjoy,
