Woot! My nephew just landed a job doing something with robots! His future world domination is underway. (Nephew's promised me some nice coastal Great Lakes property and to support Firefly for 10 new seasons, so I'm all for his progress.)
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Matt, you are a hater!
I wasn't the first few hundred times I heard "Rolling in the Deep" played.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I have still never heard "Rolling in the Deep."

KATE. Whoa. Really? Wow. Is it a matter of pride at this point, or are you just afraid of the hype?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't know if I've ever heard "Rolling in the Deep." The only radio stations I ever listen to are classic rock or NPR, so if I've heard it it was probably at the grocery store or something. I only recognize "Someone Like You" because of that SNL sketch.

It's actually a really good song. The first time I heard it I watched it like 5 times in a row, I was so blown away.

I don't think I've heard any Adele, but I listen to stations that play from the 70s to now in rock. And the high school indie station. I think I heard one song of hers, and I liked it.

I like Rolling in the Deep and Set Fire to the Rain, but I don't listen to the radio much. When I'm in the mood I play them, and when I'm not I don't. It saves aural burnout.

I still love it, but I also don't listen to the radio much, so I haven't gotten burned out on it. [link] The video is pretty awesome, too.

Unfortunately the used CD store in town closed, so I can't get any cheap copies of her CDs.
