 Time for another roundup of randomness.

The Social - Justin - says, "I like to listen to Eric Hutchinson's upbeat song "Rock & Roll" on cloudy Seattle days like today. Also, I encourage everyone checks out Eric's hilarious and awesome cover and medley of "My Girl, Ignition Remix and My Humps."

Bliss16 - Candice, says, "I am listening to "Breath" by Breaking Benjamin. I first heard this song on the radio and was hooked! I love the line "You take the breath right out of me, and left a hole where my heart should be" - Go give it a listen!"

Skipdeez has some words about the international economic crisis. Or, just this: "I don’t know if it’s the economy or what, but it seems like everyone in hip-hop is dropping singles instead of whole albums right now. Here’s a few to use your Zune Pass credits on… Eminem, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent “Crack a Bottle”… DJ Drama with Akon, Snoop, and T.I. “Day Dreaming”… Ya Boy with Dr. Hollywood “We Run LA”… Go get ‘em before the albums drop!"

I'm like double busy this week, so I've got some trance on to keep me focused...specifically, Anjunadeep 01 from Above & Beyond. I also found some cool stuff from Noel Sanger - vocal trance, but not super fluffy.

Okay, and my random-Zune-employee of the week: I sprung the "Whatcha listening to?" question on Emily - ohmyemaline - who giggled embarrassingly and admitted, "I've been listening to Peter Bjorn and John all week, because when I was on vacation in Spain, this song was stuck in my head the entire time, and I didn't know it was them until I randomly downloaded their album. I've been, like, addicted to listening to it."

K, that's it! Post what you're listening to in the comments!

Hey, I like Breaking Benjamin too, except my song of choice is "The Diary of Jane".

Since my home computer is riding the jazz wave all month I've been "stuck" with the stuff that's on my device. Therefore, I've found myself enjoying some old favorites all over again.

so another conference come and gone, another opportunity for Microsoft to show its loyal fans as well as the world that they are not some sort of grandpa company. Restructuring, comments to focus groups, neither confirming nor denying rumors, and all the while every other freakin company is coming out with bigger and better items for the consumer. How long do you think all these fans will stick around for this? lately you have said a million things without saying a damn thing at all! Now we get wind of a windows phone, of course it will not be ready anytime soon, nothing said about zune, and good old Steve Ballmer goes on his happy way being the overconfident salesman that he is. I’m so done waiting for Microsoft to do something! I’m going to sell all my zune to some poor idiot, and go with the rest of the world who has no idea what the hell a zune is anyway.

Okay, I redact my Peter, Bjorn, and John, but only because I'm listening to the Ting Ting's record for the first time right now -- and it's too awesome not to mention for real.

And yes, I am roughly 6 months behind on this one.

I've been playing pulp fusion vol. 1-9 for about 3 days now. great stuff!!

Been busting into some oldies but goodies this week.  Elton John, Billy Joel, Captain and Tennille, Billy Squire..among others.  Don't know why, but just in a nostalgic mood this week I guess. "Love, Love will keep us together.."

This is fun stuff, but I'd like to read more in-depth post about new music and videos, software features, or even reactions, however informal, to the music and mp3 industries at large.

I'd also like to point out a frustration of having the official ZuneInsider twitter feed ( http://twitter.com/ZuneInsider ) let go to route fans to what appears to be a much more personal twitter account.  I don't want to weed through personal conversations to get news and updates about Zune on twitter.

Cesar provided what I felt was a steady stream of interesting content, and I hope the site is able to regain that feel.

All the best!
