Cheesy drama: Air Supply, “The One That You Love”
I'd go with "Making Love Out of Nothing At All." Which was produced by Jim Steinman, so you have a double there.
Ilona Costa Bianchi ,'The Girl in Question'
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.

You can also get the combined whammy of Steinman and Celine Dion if you go with "It's All Coming Back to Me Now."
Hee. I have indeed opted for "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" (bearing in mind that he can make all the stadiums rock), and included "It's All Coming Back To Me Now". You could just about fill the entire CD with Celine Dion, but the choice has to be her collaboration with THE STEINMAN.
I am fairly certain that the completely nerdy older gentleman who did sports info/stats at my college is Jim Steinman's brother. [link]
Phil Spector's mug shot: [link]
He looks like he lost his precious.
Okay, it's now official. The lead singer of Midnight Oil is "dead". In his place we have the douchebag politician, Peter Garrett.
Environment Minister Peter Garrett said he had "some sympathy" for Senator Brown's predicament.
"But at the end of the day, if you are going into the business of taking court action to challenge decisions, then you are bound by the decisions that the court makes," Mr Garrett said.
Senator Bob Brown faced being disqualified from the Senate if he couldn't pay a 240k legal bill and had to declare bankruptcy. The legal bill came from a failed attempt to stop logging in the Wielangta forest in south-east Tasmania. Logging in the forest threatens endangered species including the Wedge-tailed eagle, Swift parrot and Wielangta stag beetle.
Are CDs Going The Way Of The 8-Track?
I didn't know that iTunes is now the nation's largest music distributor....
The song is over at Virgin Music Megastores.
The shuttering this weekend of Virgin’s last two stores - in Manhattan and Hollywood - marks the death of a once booming chain - and another nail in the coffin of the music CD, reports CBS News correspondent Anthony Mason.
CD sales nationwide are down by half since 2000. So Virgin’s parent company closed its 25 Megastores and is leasing the space to other businesses.
“Everything on these racks, though I don’t like to say it, is available on iTunes, is available on Amazon,” said Simon Wright, the CEO of Virgin Entertainment Group.
And that’s where music sales have shifted. Apple’s iTunes is now the nation’s largest music seller - with 20 percent of the market. Amazon has about 8 percent. And some studies show most music is now downloaded for free illegally.

Tom Morello is completely full of himself. [link] And completely justified in being full of himself.
I went to the Virgin Megastore a couple of weeks ago, and everything was 40% off, but 40% off the $18 cover price still seemed like a lot, if I only really cared about a couple of songs -- which I can get off iTunes for a couple of bucks a pop. It seems like it's more about the single/album issue than anything. At least, to me it is. If I'm buying for singles, no way am I paying full album price when I don't need to.
