"Capo" means something totally different to a singer, so I had to go to wikipedia on that one too.
So I guess, if you're a strong enough instrumentalist, you can actually tell just by listening when instruments are drop-tuned? Cool.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
A common alternate tuning is D-A-D-G-A-D, which drops the top and the bottom .(This is as much as I know about it, since my guitar never leaves standard tuning)

Many metal bands drop-tune all 6 strings to make the music heavier.

OMG I'm amazed I understand this but that's exactly what my guitarist had to figure out and do when we played a set (an AWESOME set) of Motley Crue songs last year.

I think the AWESOME goes without saying. Hey, I have a song or two from your band on my iPod and want more. What does a guy have to do to get hooked up?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I think the article in tommy's link may be premature in predicting the Death of the Album. If for no other reason than:
A decade ago, the music industry had all but stopped selling music in individual units.
In other words, a similar article could have been written 10 years (or indeed, even 5 years) ago about the Death of the Single. How can we predict where things will be 5 or 10 years down the road?
