At this moment, I’m listening to the hum of the refrigerator and the slight ringing of in my right ear. ---

Baby monitor. My nearly 3-year-old son making up excuses for not sleeping. The crackling of a Nyquil wrapper as I attempt to knock myself out. ---

> [@DfrntBreign](#): > > What are you finding that you like? 'Cause there are a lot of us here who love nothing better than turning people on to new (or old as the case may be) music. > > Oh, and now _Fire!_ by the Crazy World Of Arthur Brown has given way to _Father_ by the Why Store. Classic rock, or in general? My tastes have greatly expanded since the days when I only listened to pop-country, and some of my favorite genres are trip hop, industrial, progressive rock, symphonic metal, dark cabaret, synthpop, post-grunge, and various flavors of goth. My two most recent earworms have been \*Sex on Fire \*by Kings of Leon and _Acid Tongue_ by Jenny Lewis. So far as classic rock goes, I like the Beatles, the Animals, the Monkees, Simon and Garfunkel, Queen, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. Suggest away. ---

> [@woodstockbirdybird](#): > > No shit. If you’re only on _Please Please Me_, you’ve got a world of awesome coming at you. I was going to post something similar.

Her cover of _Sin Documentos_ gives me chills. **Aesiron** , don’t feel too bad having recently discovered the Beatles. The 90s was my _era_ (age 7 to 17) and I was in college before I discovered _Red Hot Chili Peppers_, _Nirvana_, or _Weezer_. I was the uncoolest teenager on the planet, having fed myself a steady diet of Christian rock music and country. Yeah. ---

> [@Vox\_Imperatoris](#): > > Also, [The Sign](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96jFtzVa80A) by Ace of Base. Linn Berggren (the blonde in pigtails) is hot in that video! And I don’t know what it is about Scandinavian pop music, but countless times (although I knew before that Ace of Base is Swedish) I have run across an artist or listened to their music on Pandora, only to look them up and find they’re from Denmark, Norway, or Sweden (with Germany being the second-most country/region). You should check out Lambretta, if you like Swedish pop. They are (were, maybe) also fronted by a gorgeous blonde 😉 ---

If you haven’t heard, iTunes is now DRM-free on all songs, which is nice. But guess when I the only time I ever bought a song with DRM as opposed to iTunes Plus—that’s right, the day before they made the changeover! Oh well, it’s only another $1.20.
