Just kidding. Needed to see if I could get a rise out of you.
She's definitely hot.
But she has no tits. |

Quote: Dude - Need you to give a bit more in the way of details e.g. Who is it?
See, I thought not knowing who it is before clicking would make it more funny once seen. It's that new Shania Twain video co-starring Mark McGrath from Sugar Ray. Tune into VH1 and you'll probably see it every hour or so. It's terrible. Embarrassing, even. And you know it's bad when those two manage to embassass themselves.
Did anybody click on that Stereogum site yesterday and read some of the comments made about the video? Some are hilarious.
Quote: i love how every cut to shania shows her thrashing around and shaking her head like a wet epileptic dog. is that supposed to be *dancing*?
also of note: she proclaims in the lyrics that she's not inviting anyone to this hypothetical party but that sugar ray tool on the other side of the split screen. so why then is she shown handing out little flyers to everyone? is she a liar, or is she just stupid?
and the cherry on this sundae comes when shania exclaims "that was great!" at the end. note to ms. twain: if you have to tell us it was great, it probably wasn't.
p.s.: in case you can't get enough shania in your life, she has a *nearly identical party* with some other bozo in the country video on the CMT website. two shitty video versions of the same shitty song? kudos, shania. you've outdone yourself this time.
Quote: I swear to God, Mark McGrath must wake up every morning, lie in bed, and ask himself, "what can I do to be an even bigger douchebag than I was yesterday? Oh, I know...."
This is gonna be huge at Walmart.
And here's the best:

| Does it disturb anyone that Rod Stewart is peddling standards to seniors now? |

Well, it could be argued that this is the only group with whom Rod Stewart has any relevancy, so who can really blame Rod for catering to them.
Rod's voice disturbs me more than anything. Every time I hear Rod sing, I wish somebody would give him a good pat on the back to help him cough up that phlegm. |

| True. I have never been a fan of his. But he did used to be a rocker, and when I say seniors, I mean people who grew up listening to Glenn Miller, not newly retired Baby Boomers. |

| I doubt Glenn Miller fans will be buying Rod's record. The newly-retired baby boomers will buy and maybe like and eventually, if they follow up on their newfound love of standards, will become Glenn Miller fans themselves. |

| I have always loved standards. Anyone who developed an early interest in jazz, as I did in my teens, loves standards. |

| I like standards, too. Not sung by Rod Stewart, mind you, but I do like them. There's a couple of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong albums, Ella and Louis and Ella and Louis Again, '56 and '57 respectively, that I listen to quite frequently. Highly recommended. |

| Yup. Good on ya, Shannon. You can sit next to me at Curtains for You Rest Home; we'll hum a little Cole Porter as our respirators wheeze out the rhythm. |

| I've been listening to Jane Monheit's new CD of standards on my local jazz radio station. It's very good. |

Shannon,
You've got great taste in old standards. For sheer inventiveness and concentration of genius, Gershwin has to be the most brilliant composer of the past century. Rhapsody In Blue's melody lines are almost unbelievable, and when he wrote it he was just getting started.
And those two Louis & Ella recordings you mentioned are among my favourite of favourites.
Marilyn,
I think younger generations arrive at that early 20th century era of music because a) The songs are so damn good, and b) Referencing music before our time allows us to pretend we're young. |
