KATE. Whoa. Really? Wow. Is it a matter of pride at this point, or are you just afraid of the hype?
Heh. Neither? I just haven't sought it out, and like Jess, the only radio stations I listen to are NPR and classic rock. It's possible I've heard it when I was out somewhere, but didn't know it.
I liked "Chasing Pavements" from her first album a lot, but when I listened to the rest of the CD it didn't grab me, so I wasn't particularly interested in seeking out her new one. But I'm happy to give "Rolling in the Deep" a listen, since you've linked the video.
I only keep up with Kids Today music on Youtube.
Pretty much all the new music I discover these days is through fanvids. They've introduced me to some good older stuff, too
ARGH, the video starts out with that goddamn "Marry Bacon" commercial from Jack in the Box. I fucking hate that commercial. It plays all the time when I watch
Parks & Rec
on Hulu and every time I want to throw something.

Secondspin.com?
Oh, dear . . . And today's payday.
OK, but now that I've watched the actual video, I like the song! Seems like an odd choice to have her sitting down for the whole song, though -- it's the kind of song that you'd think would require standing up and dancing around while you're belting it out.
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.
I never listen to the radio for music anymore. I listen to NPR sometimes, alternative online radio or stuff in my iPod/iPhone.
So I've never heard of Adele as well.
Oh, man, monks complaining in the margins of illuminated manuscripts. LOVE.
Hee! One of the more fun supplements to a class I had was all about marginalia in medieival texts, taught by a bone-dry funny professor.
If you have iTunes, you get a 90 second preview of songs now, before deciding to buy. Which is really long enough to decide, generally.
Versions that I thought were just so wonderfully terrific when they first came out now seem woefully out of date.
Heh. I'm still annoyed that my old company only supported IE6...and my new company has IE6 and Firefox...but it's like, Firefox 4.
