Linguistics in Popular Culture

While we at Speculative Grammarian do not believe in pandering to passing fads (which explains the dress sense of our editor-in-chief), the increasing prominence of linguistics in popular culture and a pressing need to increase our income (so we can afford new sweater vests) has led us to put together a music CD full of tracks by artists who have risen to prominence in the name of linguistics.
