Other Information
In the second week of January 2010, Anda-Louise Bogza's classical CD Portrait surprisingly became the best selling album in the Czech Republic, as reported by the local branch of IFPI. She surpassed all popular recordings, such as Kabát rock band (2nd place that week) and Jára Cimrman theater (3rd place then, 1st in December 2009 monthly figures). This surprise was first explained by a drop in sales after Christmas, but later it emerged that she had bought 50 CDs herself for giving away abroad, without intention on her side to change the ranking. This incident was mentioned in news as an illustration of thinness of Czech market with music CDs and its detachment from global trends.

Famous quotes containing the word information:
“English literature is a kind of training in social ethics.... English trains you to handle a body of information in a way that is conducive to action.”
—Marilyn Butler (b. 1937)
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
