*lol* Yeah, the song kinda grabed me when I first heard it in the commercials. It's really pretty, beautifully simple and that guy has a naturally amazing voice. I don't really connect the song to the movie so much because I personally can't get into a movie whose characters I generally find unsympathetic (plus, I just don't see any chem tween miss Roberts and mister Law) but those promo peeps sure do have excellent taste in music. ;-)

Dirk Gently was a very good book although I must admit I preferred the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.

Adams just had a way of putting a different slant on things that borders on the line of pure genius, RIP indeed. Keep the "ooooh" moments rolling
