My Rihanna - Umbrella Remixes CD is here!

The "Seamus Haji & Paul Emanuel Club Remix" sounds really good with the KGSS > HE60.

Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh

This song is so annoyingly addictive

I can't stop listening, somebody help, please.

Hmm, I don't get the fascination. It sucks. That monotone voice is quite annoying, I think she shows a one octave range. Woo. Stab my eye with a hot poker please.

They made one version 9+ minutes long? Holy shit, I think I'd rather be water-boarded.

I can't stop listening, somebody help, please.

Are you sure you're not confusing her obvious female attractions with anything resembling good music?

Billie Holiday didn't have much more than an octave range.

Sorry, I've never heard her performances, so that reference went right over my head.

Listening to it again (killing me gently), it's not the lack of range, it's the manufactured feel of the performance, the false repeatable vocal breaks, for instance, the lack of feeling. But, hey, if it works for you, more power to you.

It's the ballet shoes and the "on pointe"....with a trapeze. Hmm, that might work wonders in the bedroom actually.

seriously?

Yeah. Sorry. I'm really not into jazz, I find it mostly boring and I can't get beyond that to even listen to vocal performances. It triggers me into a narcoleptic session and I can't define anything in that genre as being great...because I just can't listen to it.

Probably that "soft jazz" they used to pipe into my office on a tape loop allll daayy everyyyy daay. It made homicidal.

Yup. Basically, you can't hear jazz listening to the radio, on an elevator, or in a coffee shop. Very little of what gets sold as jazz is interesting. But good jazz is so far from boring that you can't really even get there from here. As I mentioned in another thread, some of the experimental jazz has more in common with punk rock than it ever would with kenny g.

So, what is jazz? Aside from Billie Holiday.

And what's so close about jazz and punk? I listen to some punk, albeit pop punk like Lagwagon. I'm more into death and black metal, which does have a montonic vocal representation. Name me some that's like punk and I'll go buy some today. I'm on vacation with an arm length list of honey-dos, and a really pissy mood because of it. I'd rather go peruse Rasputin now.

So, what is jazz?

Although not strictly classified as jazz get some John Zorn. Pick a random album if you want.

But one of my favs is Electric Masada 50th Birthday Celebration Volume 4.

Billie Holiday didn't have much more than an octave range.

But Billie Holiday, um, doesn't suck.

Yes, I've watched a downloaded Umbrella video, but the video or photos aren't the reason why I'm listening to this song.

I don't know the reason.

I'm listening now with the KGSS>SR-Omega. I feel so happy and I can't stop wriggling my butt.

La la, la de la la, ella, ella, eh eh eh, it's pouring rain...

I read that interview. What's strange is that I seemed to live next door to him in NYC, at least from where he said he lived. Don't remember him, but years could be different, though time frame seems the same.

WORST SONG EVER

Not the worst song ever, but it basically takes tracks like "Let the Music Play" by Shannon, or perhaps "2 of Hearts" by Suzie Q, and revamps it. Somewhat. Maybe a little bit of New Order thrown in, but not that good.

It was okay, I give it a C+.

Thank you for the recommendations, I'll go find "Let the Music Play" and "2 of Hearts."

I found "Two of Hearts (Extended Mix)" by Stacey Q from the disc "Dance Traxx Vol. 2" in my library.

Er, I've also got "Let the Music Play (Full Intention Club Edit)" by Shannon from the disc "Best of No. 1 Hits 2003."

I found "Two of Hearts (Extended Mix)" by Stacey Q from the disc "Dance Traxx Vol. 2" in my library.

Yeah, that's it -- Stacey Q, not Suzie Q.

You've got the keys... now shut and drive.

Just gotta buy it... tomorrow... Frys...
