      Despite your posting on the Fugees, I never would have guessed.

      I would run out and buy them, except I just splurged on the new DCFC and Aqualung. But maybe we can have a music break in, oh, two weeks.

      And I smile when I find myself referenced on your blog. Validates my blogging existence.

      And they apparently think you have a need for routers...

      I always tell people that I listen to just about everything- BUT RAP. and it is abuntantly obvious because I have only heard of Erika Badu, The Fugees, and Lauren Hill from that list. And I can guarantee that the songs I know then from aren't rap ;)

      I used to be able to say that I listen to everything except rap and heavy metal, and now I'm just down to one of those options...
