Given that I'm distracted by Doctor Who (ohmygosh-I'm-addicted-someone-help-me*), just a relatively quick post today. You might already know of girl group Feminnem (translators keep telling me their name means "ladylike," so I'd guess they're feminine, not the female equivalent of Eminem) from their participation in Eurovision 2005. The group, formed out of some of the nonwinners of Croatia's version of Pop Idol, represented Bosnia and Herzegovina with the great song "Call Me"(or, pre-translation, "Zovi") taking fourteenth. They tried to represent Croatia at this past year's Eurovision, but only took ninth out of thirteen in the national selection. Now, I think they're participating in some sort of festival or contest, and this song is associated with it.
Nije moje srce, nije--pop-dance-disco; if you know their earlier work, this song won't surprise you, but it's still a great listen. The middle 8 or dance break or whatever it is throws off the song (it's just so suddenly slow and such a departure in style), but luckily it's able to recover and is generally catchy enough that it's still pretty good to great.
I'm not sure where you can buy this song, but you can buy Feminnem's album Feminnem Show (so, even if they're not taking their name from Eminem, they're at least aware of the similarities) from iTunes, even in the U.S..
Next up: maybe that Swedish group.
*But it's not on nearly enough! I'm practically going through daily withdrawal symptoms. I'm strongly considering buying the DVDs and just overdosing over the course of a few days. Edit: but, addicted though I may be, I don't think I've got quite that much money!
