One of the bonus tracks in this set is Nilsson's take on Sondheim's "Marry Me a Little" (recorded at Sondheim's request, as a present for a friend, apparently). It is amazing—a perfect vocal. There's a not-great-sounding sound file here: http://thewickedstage.blogs…  I'm anxiously awaiting a cleaned-up version of this.

Yup. As far as I'm aware, that has not had a legit release anywhere—not sure about bootlegs.

Much cheaper—yes, even with shipping—if you order it from Amazon UK rather than Amazon US. Like, by $40.

Ugh, I hated "La Grande Bouffe." A tedious film about gluttony.

And "Wings of Desire" knocked me out the first time I saw it, theatrically. (I'll admit a later video viewing didn't move me as much, though I couldn't tell you why. "The American Friend" remains my favorite Wenders film.)

Worth noting that the screenplay is by Clark Gregg, better known as an actor ("The Avengers," Julia Louis-Dreyfuss's ex on "New Adventures of Old Christine," etc., etc.).

Sounds like a daytime soap opera.

"What What in the Butler."

Todd— How did your poem come to be in that anthology?

I think this and the final episode are my favorite two.

Last episode felt at times like the climax of the series, not the season. Which would make next season the denouement, but a season-long denouement would not make sense.

The original article states:

I'm a professional copy editor, and I think you need to let this one go. It's a style issue, not a matter of right/wrong. There's nothing wrong with either usage. (But don't get me started on the serial comma, which I was forced to give up recently, much against my will. GAH!)

Coincidentally, he's on tour.

Usage note from Merriam-Webster: "Recent criticism of the use of myriad as a noun, both in the plural form myriads and in the phrase a myriad of, seems to reflect a mistaken belief that the word was originally and is still properly only an adjective.
