Kylie Minogue, you mean? (I do sometimes see the first name used as a mononym) Many of her fans might not care - it seems someone ironic to me that gay icons tend to be beautiful women instead of other dudes.
This deserves its mix of Funny and Insightful mods.
As I've said of female celebrities I'm attracted to, with a significant other is just as unaccessible in a practical sense as the celebrity without one.
Granted, teenage fangirls don't seem generally known for this kind of calm logic.:)
I can daydream about winning lottery jackpots too, even though that's also incredibly unlikely to happen.:P
It isn't incest of the relation is a fictional one between your characters. I learned that in middle school, 9 years ago. (the students playing a father/daughter pair in that year's school play were kissing; that was their response to my needling)
I'm not a Doctor Who fan, so I can't squeeze in (or recognize) your references.:)
some of the laughs come form the thought of confusion stemming from marketers or marketing systems trying to analyze data from people like us. Sometimes, laughing at the juxtaposition can be extended to the juxtaposition of the resultant recommendations.
Like the time I put The Fame Monster and Straight Outta Compton on the same Amazon order; I saw recommendations for The Fame and Eazy-Duz-It.
hmm, never heard that before - will consider it next time I listen to DSOTM (clarifying which songs were involved helped - I can see it even in the song titles; naming the songs helps also since I have it but not on vinyl.)
what I meant by "Hmm, listening idea" was to recognize that and play it all the way through, "the way nature intended", next time I decide to play a whole album. I recognize from experience that most of The Wall doesn't work well by itself.
kudos to you for your song-title story. Metallica also comes to mind as a big-name band that owns their masters, simply licensing them to a major label for distribution.
Led Zeppelin also had a dismissive attitude to singles, yet still put out a few. [Perhaps compromising with _their_ label?] (Some Zeppelin songs were short enough to fit on a 45; they refused to shorten the longer songs)
I also have a very diverse music collection (which happens to include The Fame Monster, but not Wish You Were Here or Circus) - the apparently-disjointed combinations sometimes handed out by the shuffler are part of the fun.
Guns Of Brixton followed by Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) is one of my favorite examples to mention of this happening.
Then again, a shuffler combination of related songs, also likely, doesn't stand out.
Sometimes a weird combination might even make for a good mashup, sometimes not.
"mechanical license" is the name for the concept mentioned by some sibling posts: once the song's been released, you can get rights to cover the song by just paying the rate set by law once you notify the song publisher. (9.1c plus 1.7c for each minute or partial minute above 5 when selling recordings, AFAIK)
This is in the hands of the publisher (or ASCAP,BMI or some group like them); Pink Floyd may have ceded some rights over the songwriting itself to them.
You can agree to other terms with the rightsholders, of course.
The compulsory license is a useful limit on copyright-law monopoly abuse, as well as Campbell vs. Acuff Rose [that parody case also clearly adds free-speech issues into the mix.]
Saw this in some articles pointing out that the Beatles hadn't been the only big iTunes holdout. Def Leppard was one of the ones admitting it was about bad contract terms or other business-side issues.
Normally, people at least concede that there's good indie stuff, even if they don't like the mainstream offerings. (I know of a lot of good mainstream stuff and bad indie stuff as well, but let's not go further into that.:P):)
Maybe so; I've long since seen albums as a collection of songs, even many of those known as concept albums. (granted, things like Sgt. Pepper are at least a collection of really good songs.) Granted, I'm a youngster.
However, there can be a different effect from listening to the whole album in order, even of many of the songs can stand alone.
I never really got Dark Side Of The Moon [even listening to it in sequence], and I just have The Wall mixed in on shuffle. Hmm, listening idea...
As mentioned in another comment, Led Zeppelin's catalogue is available individually, except Carouselambra, In My Time Of Dying and Achilles Last Stand, their three longer than 10 minutes studio tracks.
I think this type of thing is a good way to split the difference.
(there's a lady that's sure that) all that glitters (is gold), you mean?
Yep, you can buy Stairway individually.
Led Zeppelin's catalogue did indeed already end up available as single tracks, at least in conjunction with the November 2007 release of the Mothership greatest hits compilation.
Checking Amazon MP3, Achilles Last Stand, In My Time Of Dying and Carouselambra are the only album-only tracks from the various albums they appear on, and I think that's the case on iTunes as well.
When the Beatles stuff hit iTunes, I think that was all available as single tracks.
On my (non-Android) phone, I see something kind of like this: there's plenty of space left on the memory (both internal phone memory and SD card), and yet it still insists I'm out of space. [However, the latest messages are sent to me again successfully when space is cleared.]

glad to see someone thought of this one already. :)
As I once said when making a snide comment about European football, "(puts on fire-resistant suit)"
it's also fun for the whole family

Nowadays, wives engage in husband management. :P
"Pianist" as well.
reminded of musical comedian Billy C. Wirtz's album title "Pianist Envy"
this isn't instrument-based, but:
using "Free Bird" to refer to the middle finder
rock/cock jokes
+1 sadly informative, I'm afraid.

+1 Interesting to you.

Question 3.6 from that FAQ seems to be the section that specifically refers to this issue.

Businesses with contrary interests do sometimes crop up as a heavy counterweight to the bad behavior of another business, practically speaking.
