I’m listening to [Lovefool](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddT2QmVnJiQ) by The Cardigans, after I heard it playing in the background of a TV show and had to go get it. (She has the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen; it makes me wonder if they’re digitally enhanced.) I’m also listening to [Kleiner Satellit](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6pU56DyuBE) by Blümchen, which has a really weird music video. Plus you have to love one paragraph lyrics (I have no idea why, but [all](http://www.lyricsdownload.com/blumchen-kleiner-satellit-lyrics.html) [her](http://www.lyricsdownload.com/blumchen-boomerang-lyrics.html) [songs](http://www.lyricsdownload.com/blumchen-odyssee-in-3d-lyrics.html) are like that). 😛 Valete, Vox Imperatoris ETA: By the way, does anyone know if Blümchen (“Blossom”) is pronounced _bloom-cheen_ or _bloom-chin_ (or neither)? ---

“Scatman” by Scatman John (inspired by the Good Humor thread in GQ - there used to be a commercial where the guy danced around singing “I’m the Good Humor man!” to the same tune, lol.) ---

The latest Nas album, _Untitled_ (though it was supposed to be called something else), has been on continuous play in my car for the last week. It’s fantastic. ---

I recently discovered Heart so I just got done listening to all the Led Zeppelin covers done by Heart. Best Zeppelin covers I’ve ever heard. Before that I was listening to Dreamboat Annie which is a great album. Right now I’m listening to hold music as I wait for an operator from Briggs Corp to pick up the phone. My Zune has the Rumours CD by Fleetwood Mac on pause. ---

I’m listening to the entire Beatles discography right now, because I want to see what made them such a big deal. Only listened to a few songs so far but I’m really liking them (“I saw her Standing There” and “Love me Do” are awesome). ---

> [@Vox\_Imperatoris](#): > > ETA: By the way, does anyone know if Blümchen (“Blossom”) is pronounced _bloom-cheen_ or _bloom-chin_ (or neither)? The closest I can get with my crappy phonetic spelling would be _blymmchen_ As for what I’m listening too, 7 Mujeres by Miguelito. Soft latin music. ---

Only listened to a few songs so far but I’m really liking them (“I saw her Standing There” and “Love me Do” are awesome). Been there done that. They have a few GREAT albums but a lot of garbage that I couldn’t listen to as well. ---

♫♫♪There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza There’s a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole…♪♫ Remind me to thank my mother properly for this “Gross and Annoying Songs” CD.
