It's in your head. I'm not mocking her death. What I'm mocking, if anything, is the fuss people are making of it, both the tabloid media and the people who buy them.
I do get tired of people who are overly sensitive on someone else's behalf.

Aren't you? ;-)

Try again stephen. If you're going to take out a sub-clause, then it's no longer what I wrote. Plus the subclause is "more importantly" - you know, the bit between the commas.
People die every day. What makes dying of cancer so special?

Am I the only person that dislikes the Powershop banners? Especially the one with the plugs that seems to capture my cursor with a tractor beam.

Presumably there will continue to be a conversion of old music to digital and making it available. Even if the demand is relatively small, the investment and ongoing costs for providing reasonable digital is probably pretty small, so over 20 years of selling not very much, that still makes a profit.
See, this is why I think sales dropped off in the 90's - the big boost in sales in the 80's and early 90's could have been due to people replacing vinyl with CDs. Once they'd done that, the demand would lessen and sales would drop. It's almost a shame that Napster happened - without it, the industry would have had to seriously examine why sales had peaked, instead of declaring "piracy" every quarter.
Digital downloads would enable the long tail to be profitable.

Ah, that explains organic zombies

You need to read a little further down the article, Jon:
Arctic Monkeys achieved their success through fan-made demo tapes.They were heralded as one of the first acts to come to the public attention via the Internet, with commentators suggesting they represented the possibility of a change in the way in which new bands are promoted and marketed. The band eventually signed to the independent record label Domino Records

I remember a line from A Week Of It:
"Next up on sports, we have small bore canon shooting with Bob Lowe as the canon and John Kirk as the small bore"

LOL

Much scoffing at suggestion that people are actually breaking through/out without support.
Arctic Monkeys?
