No, they did still release CDs after 2005, that was my point -- from Autumn '05 on, my columns have been written for free FSM CDs and an iMac. (And it's not like anyone's forcing me to write them)

Apologies for repeatedly bringing the thread back to me, but--when I was at my earnings peak, there were way fewer soundtrack releases than there are now. La-La Land wouldn't exist for several more years, I think Varese Club might have gone dark, and new scores weren't being released so regularly (and this was also before the vinyl resurgence -- I'm trying to be responsible by playing all my recent vinyl purchases multiple times before picking up such tempting new releases as Vice, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and The Last Black Man in San Francisco; I'm currently on side two of Black Mirror: USS Callister).

The Bettencourt Solipsism

At one point I was not familiar with the word "solipsism," but after I saw it applied to the characters of my favorite film (Noah Baumbach's Kicking and Screaming) and of my then-favorite filmmaker (Whit Stillman, since supplanted by Baumbach as my favorite), I knew I'd have to learn it, and it's a wonderful word.
I'm just not certain if "The Bettencourt Solipsism" should be a Robert Ludlum novel or part of Adam Hall's "Quiller" series. Whichever has less action and excitement.
