Answer: 4-7-2-3-9-8-5

 "36 Degrees" was the second song released on a single from the eponymous "Placebo" album. Reputedly, the numbers don't have a meaning, they "just fit".

 From "English Summer Rain" on the "Sleeping With Ghosts" album.
3. According to "Commercial for Levi", which two things are going to "blow your mind"?
