Are the darts any less tough at Whole Foods that at regular grocery stores? If so, that would explain it.

Whitney Houston was secretly a successfully gay avant-garde saxophonist? Is that what I'm hearing here? Guess that session with Archie Shepp had a lasting effect after all!

There is no answer until the moment it happens, and even then, who knows for how long, really?

"Tough darts" is the only one I've not heard of. Thinking of Whitney, I've long thought of her as A Voice In Search Of A Song, and for me, "Exhale" was that song, and like John L, pretty much always was. Nothing before or after came close...however, in retrospect, "How Will I Know" is one of those Great Songs Of Innocence that's sung without a touch of innocence, or knowingness...just no sense of empathy for the lyrics, but still sung the hell out of vocally, which...maybe that's where Things Started Going Wrong in R&B Singing...style trumping substance, gesture w/o meaning becoming meaning, hell, I don't know. I just don't know. It was music in general too, not just R&B...everything just too damn literal, everything know, nothing unknown, Know it all, have it all, nothing left to know or to have. Or so you want to think... But "Exhale....DAMN, that was some deep, DEEP stuff on that one, and for me, just to know that she did have it in her, that whatever it was that took her to get there that she could and did get there, and was not just A Voice In Search Of A Song, that's good enough for me. Found this on YouTube, the isolated vocal tracks from "How Will I Know"...great song, great voice, just...not at the same time. But it was what it was, it is what is is, and here we are.

Tough darts? Never heard that one before, is it a regional thing?

Somebody whose name on a record made it that much more likely that I'd buy it. RIP, and thank you.

You see an entire family history. I just see a crazyass YouTube video.

Hanna's father was not wrong to not tolerate her attitude. As for popping a round off into her laptop, he paid for it, she's a minor, so hey, his prerogative. The only thing that would be wrong is if he's lying about her attitude, or if she gets her head right and he still acts like that. If you can tell that from a YouTube video, your computer plays better than mine. I too fear for the girl if her attitude is as presented and she doesn't straighten out, but not because her old man publicly called her out on her bullshit and shot up her laptop.

You can make a horrible record of a great song, and vice-versa.

I'm curious what non-timbral elements of Herbie's playing you find to be Rhodes-specific.

Hanna's dad was not wrong.

Pretty sure that Craig James did not kill five hookers while at SMU.

So, the claim is that an already-exisiting band came to Detroit and borrowed a sound from a group that couldn't seal the deal on a recording contract because they didn't sound enough like the band that allegedly borrowed their sound? Sure, why not? I wouldn't be surprised that the story of coming to a rehearsal, getting some tunes, and borrowing what they heard in the rehearsal to better serve the tunes they were given (at that rehearsal?), but hell, that seems like the right thing to do. You hear something that works for you, use it! But keep in mind that The Freedom Sound was released in 1961 and that the band had been together in some form or fashion since the 1950s. so if we're talking a "they stole our sound" story, I don't think do. If we're talking a "this already successful band came to town and got some stuff from us" story, then, sure, could be, and why not?

I remember that from the late 70s on, you never knew what you were going to get. Later pressings of older albums could be quite an adventure...but not always.

No one said anything about discrimination. Lon pointed out that the site is sexist, as is the most popular thread on this board. Uh....

Hot Ad Girls is not discriminatory, it does not prevent another site from making its own determinations as to who/what qualifies. There's absolutely nothing to prevent a Ad Girls Not Covered By Hot Ad Girls Who We Think Should Have Been from being created, although a snappier site name might be advised. Hot Ad Girls is an expression of opinion, and when opinion becomes perceived as discrimination, well, then we'll have a Communist Internet. You know the saddest tale of all Hot Ad Girls? Erin E-Surance, the Hottest Ad Girl EVER, past, present, or future. What she did in her private life was nobody's business, and for her to be persecuted for it by her employer is fundamentally wrong. Avenge Erin!!!!
