  1. Pausing creates silence, silence creates anticipation, and anticipation is the ultimate aphrodisiac.
  2. Ya' know, sometimes I think that she wasted a lot of her genius over the years on unworthy material and/or settings, but how can you think of "waste" and a performance like that in the same thought?
  3. I can leave a lot of stuff behind if I have to, but I'll never be able to leave behind Pres.
  4. Is that William B. Williams doing the intro? I was looking for the big L, but to no avail...

  8. Hell dude, there's always one we haven't heard. Always.
  9. Indeed it is, as is the Peggy Lee version (w/Nelson Riddle) on The Man I Love. Of course, the original Maey Ann McCall/Woody Herman version ain't no slouch either...

  20. Cross-referencing this site http://www.thehi-los.com/recordings/list.php?format=4 it appears that this is, at last, the complete Trend/Spotlite recordings of the group. Long overdue, and if you like this kind of thing (and I do), essential. This was their freshest and most audacious work, much more cutting edge than most of their later work for other lables (still haven't heard the MPS reunion sides, though, which I hear are excellent). The Hi-Lo's were what the Four Freshmen were only trying to be. You can take that any way you want to and probably be right, but the fact remains - Gene Puerling's vocal arrangements set a standard of harmonic sophistication in a certain "realm" that has yet to be topped. Take 6 has at times equalled it, but nobody's surpassed it. You get a lot of other stuff with the Hi-Lo's, and not all of it is "comfortable". But for me, the creativity and musicality of those vocal arrangements trumps all of that. Mileages on that, however, can and will vary wildly.
  21. And yeah, I'm a bit of a bitter SOB when it comes to choke jobs and the people who perpetrate them.
  22. Well yeah, Cuban needs to know when to chill. Now, let's give Dirk some more bold statements to make during the off-season. Lessee... People shouldn't drive drunk. Don't forget to hug your kids. It takes more effort to frown than it does to smile. I'm sure there's more. Go Dirk, go.
  23. John B. Stetson World B. Free William B. Williams
  24. Yeah, it really takes guts to mildly dis your boss when you know that your job is more than secure. About as much guts as it takes to turn in a pussyriffic performance in the NBA finals. Less, even. Yeah, you go Dirk. Gutless motherfucker.
