[Around the World (La La La La La)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRm0LSihp7w) by ATC. The guys in that video are the gayest looking people I’ve ever seen, though. Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

Also, [Why Oh Why](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIUBRgTO-g0) by ATC. I think it actually might be better, even though it was not a hit compared to Around the World. Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

[Greatest Hit](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSa286Daws4) by Annie—very black 70s disco-ish for a Norwegian singer. Somebody else post so I don’t feel guilty for triple posting! Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

‘Get Older’ – Dan Deacon. I’m looking forward to his new album. ---

[Je Veux Te Voir](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esU70_VTBJI) by Yelle. It’s in French, but it’s the raciest song I’ve ever heard ([version with badly-translated English subtitles](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsrN3qxX2Yw)). It’s also a lot easier to understand the meaning of something in French by reading it than hearing it (the first link I posted has English subtitles). The song is about Cuiziner from the French rap group TTC (but is not really a rap song), saying he is ugly and has a small you-know-what. :eek: I like the line, “You dream of neon Hummer designed by Akroe, but you don’t have an license; you always take the subway (“metro”, rhyming with Akroe)!”, though. 🙂 Valete, Vox Imperatoris ---

I just bought a bunch of albums on iTunes with a $50 gift card, so I am enjoying new-to-me music. 🙂 Right now, it’s “Out There On The Ice” by Cut Copy from their album _In Ghost Colours_. I’m really liking this album so far…it reminds me of Lifestyle, one of my favorite locally-known bands from Boston. So earnestly synthy and 80ish. 🙂 ---

“Trust Us” from the wonderfully titled _Waxed Oop_ by **Fast ‘n’ Bulbous** , a spiffy instrumental Captain Beefheart cover band with a four-piece horn section, led by Beefheart alumnus Gary Lucas. ---

[Tudo Que Você Podia Ser](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGmGMEVbTAY) and [O Trem Azul](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSddCrJJP7Y) from Milton Nascimento & Lô Borges’s “Clube Da Esquina”. I’ve been listening to solely Brazilian music for the past few days, and this is probably my favorite album from that country along with Jorge Ben’s “A Tabúa de Esmeralda” (posted earlier). ---

> [@NineToTheSky](#): > > Are you going to do it chronologically? Because it should be interesting for you to hear how they developed. I’d love to know what you think of their stuff. You ought to have an ongoing thread over however long it takes you to get throught it all. 🙂 Yup, I’m listening to all the U.S. albums chronologically. I’m liking them so far, and it will be cool to hear how they grow and change. I took your advice and started a [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=501230) so I can keep track of this thing. ---
