What is your favourite song from a movie?   Search for top movie songs. US actors, directors and critics are asked to choose their top 100 favourite movie songs. [BBC News | Entertainment | World Edition] "Catherine Zeta Jones and Renee Zellweger's duet All That Jazz from the screen version of Chicago also finds itself in contention, alongside Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor's rendition of Come What May from Moulin Rouge." Please God, even though I don't believe in you, please grant me this much anyway: Don't let that Zeta Jones woman garner more attention for anything. She is evil. Aside from that, I'd cast my vote for "Sussudio" in American Psycho. Just kidding. I like the remake of "Mad World" for Donnie Darko. One has to consider "Do Not Forsake Me (Oh My Darling" from High Noon, the first song from a movie to become a massive hit.   5:22:21 PM    comment []

Music sales 'set to keep falling'   Music sales 'set to keep falling'. Music sales around the world will keep on falling for the next two years, a report predicts. [BBC News | Entertainment | World Edition] I know I already explained why this is a good thing, but I feel like it's worth repeating and returning to this topic until people finally accept that you cannot apply "supply and demand" economic principles to the value of cultural artefacts. Sometimes less is more, and when it comes to contemporary movies and music, this is certainly the case.   5:13:45 PM    comment []
