I came across this open letter from the band OK Go about the changing nature of the music industry and the unexpected issues that arise from these changes.

What English Sounds Like To Foreigners
This is a very cool video of an Italian singer performing a song whose lyrics are complete and utter gibberish meant to sound like American English. The intent of the video is to illustrate which English phonemes and syllables carry into the foreign ear.
Even though I know the song is complete gibberish it sounds just like English to me, with a kind of James Brown feel to it. I keep wanting to relisten to it because I swear I can almost make out what he is saying. It is very weird. The Italian Singer is Adriano Celantano and this was written in 1972.
The Whoville Express!
Maeve, Conor, and Shea had a very special day last week with their Auntie Kathy, Uncle Scott, and cousins, Kelli, Joe, and Jack. They all went in to town and saw How The Grinch Stole Christmas, The Musical. They took the Whoville Express in and all the Who's in Whoville had a great time. Thanks!
