Obsessed

When the "Lovefool" video dropped, I didn't think there would ever be anyone hotter than Nina Persson.

Watching it again for this post, I am reminded why I thought that.

Freebie

The import music magazine samplers were an excellent introduction to many bands.

Well worth the ten dollar price of the magazine.

Major chains like Barnes & Noble wouldn't provide the disc or cassette with the magazine. Of course this never stopped me from parting with my hard earned cash for the sampler-free version.

Whenever possible I would make my purchases at international newsstands. Thankfully there happened to be one down the street from my office in New York.

The four Select samplers I have are the best of the bunch.

Bangin' Summer Extravaganza (Select Magazine June 1999). Select Magazine June 1999. New.

The Cardigans - Life. AKA Music. Bargain bin.

Ebert? Roeper?

I couldn't tell you anything about the film.

Before stumbling on this soundtrack, I had never heard of it.

The soundtrack does not disappoint.

The film might. It might not.

There is no way it will match the star power, the guest power, of the album.

Including the deceased.

Shudder to Think - First Love, Last Rites. AKA Music. Bargain bin.
