We'll start here.
Its Friday Night but sadly I ain't got my funk on. Baudolino Sure tried
It almost worked. But no, I'm too pooped to bop.
>>>But as I stuff the corncob let me pose a question;
Am I missing something?
I don't read rock magazines much, nor the gossip pages. The very first time I heard Of Amy Winehouse was when a friend brought the cd to the house way back when and, knowing nothing of the artist we listened. Twice.
Nothing offended the sensibilities, but nothing stood out. I thought the music was very competent, though the lyrics were by turn forced, fierce, resigned and soaring, sorta like you'd hear in a good club on a Saturday night.
But in a short time she was all over the media for so many of the wrong reasons.
Critics however swoon, breathlessly telling us the "back-story" of this poor suffering girl.
I Certainly feel for the child, I have daughters her age. I'm enraged at her handlers/enablers, concerned only with wringing gold from a broken spirit.
Its plain to see she's in desperate need of help. A lot of help.
>>>But none of that matters when listening to the cd, when judging the music.
So, Am I wrong?
It is absolutely required. Ten Words.
So, Ten words, Huh?

The irony here is this stuff flies on TV all time time now - one of our local broadcast stations shows this, "Family Guy", at 6:00pm every weekday. I'd have to get rid of the TV to keep my kids from being exposed to it.
I have something else, interesting, from one of the Monty Python boys... I can't find it right now, but when I do I'll post it....
This was nice, though. BTW Waydutch, I practically did get rid of my TV for just that reason.
Loosely based on Flight Of The Bumblebee, this track exhibits Ferrante & Teicher's playful side as the two masters have a bit of fun with this

I didn't know that fingers could fly this fast. Never having actually heard or read about Ferrante & Teicher before now, I've always imagined them mangling "Exodus" or the like, but now, deadmandeadman, you've given me hope. However, you are getting abnormally eclectic on us; be careful.
Hmmm.... this track exhibits sonic characteristics of speeded up records.....
Perhpaps some tomfoolery is afoot?? Methinks!

NO-the music is ordinary and her life is a bad soap opera
There's always a larger public less interested in music and more interested in the lives of celebrities. For us music lovers, how exciting we find her music is the most important reason to examine other things about her. If she puts her soul or her personality into the music, or her thoughts into whatever lyrics she writes, they can matter to the music lover in us. If she endangers herself, that can affect the quality and quantity of her music.
"Rubber Room" is unusual for George Jones, mostly because it's a minor key waltz and also because it's about commitment. Good post.
deadmandeadman, I heard Cyndi Lauper rave on and on about Ms. Winehouse, extolling her virtues as a singer, songwriter, calling her" the most honest voice out there today." and I wondered, am I listening to the same Amy Winehouse she is, or what????Yeah, she's gritty and all, but, seriously, I don't get it, either.
