Oh, Marianne. Nicely done. But it's very disconcerting not to hear "take cur, bewur" where and as one is accustomed to do, I find. And I just can't quite get past that.



A St. Lunatic would know how it's pronounced.



Nelly should cover it.

Best new movie I've seen in more than ten years.

Been hearing this song on the radio a lot lately. I actually like it. The singer is good.

I thought maybe it was Tracy Chapman. Remember her? Whatever happened to her?

But it's not. Somebody named Alex Clare. Figured it was a black chick named Alex.

Then I found out it was a guy. I figured okay, it's a black dude named Alex.

But it's not. It's a white guy named Alex. A white guy who looks like he ought to be smoking a pipe in the back courtyard of a used bookstore, in his cardigan sweater. WTF?

The guy can sing. I'm still having trouble reconciling the voice with the guy.

FYI - Old albums have outsold current ones for the first time in the US, according to a report.

Nielsen Soundscan revealed that in the first six months of 2012, catalogue records (albums released over 18 months ago) have outsold current LPs.

So far, 76.6 million catalogue records have been sold this year compared to 73.9 million recent releases.

"That's a combination of two things - not having the big blockbuster new releases in the first half, and having a very, very strong catalogue," analyst David Bakula said.

Bakula noted that these numbers even counted Adele's multi-million-seller 21 as a recent release.

The biggest selling catalogue records include Guns N' Roses' Greatest Hits and four albums by Whitney Houston, following her death in February.

Bakula added that the reason behind the rise in old album sales may be down to the dip in prices of the records.

The catalogue records are sometimes reduced to as low as $5.99 or £7.99, almost half their original value.

He said: "I really, truly do believe that there probably is a consumer that is buying music here that wasn't buying music in the past."

Album sales in the US have dropped 3.2% in the first half of the year compared to 2011.

However, digital album sales have risen 13.8%, while physical releases have levelled compared to last year, falling just 0.6%.
