Inspired by a post from another place I frequent... what was the first song you heard today?

(Not necessarily the first one you played)

So this was the first one I heard today. Had to use Shazam to figure out what is this band.

Works as a Japanese language lesson too: hirahira, sakusaku, biribiri, muzamuza, boroboro, jirijiri, omeome, shirajira.



Though even Shazam failed to explain how in the hell that song was stored in my car's music system?

This post led me to stream the documentary: Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice. It was pretty good.

Linda was (I say was cause she's in pretty bad shape nowadays) the complete musician......her instrument was her voice. She knew her strengths and weakness (maybe writing wasn't her strong point but she was surrounded by great songwriters). Just a great vocalist imho

Yeah .... after watching the doco I have more respect for "singers" than I had. There is a big difference between the modern divas and singers like her. Like you say, she was a real musician and had a real artistic sense.

I have a friend here in Japan that is a really close friend of Ry Cooder. He invited me to go out dinner with them maybe 15 years ago and I asked him who was a pain to work with and who was the best and he said Linda was both. A perfectionist all the way. Don't make any recording/live mistakes because you know she won't. He said she ripped him a new asshole once in the studio......hahaha

Singing is the toughest instrument to learn/perfect. There's really been nobody since she came on the scene....I mean, there's probably someone who has that knack but I don't know who it is.

Have you seen the doco? Ry Cooder pops up often. He and everyone else interviewed seems to have a lot of love and respect for her. Perfectionist/"PITA" pops up a bit too.

Thanks, I just started using it again recently (raised by wolves & Lovecraft country) but I wish the subtitle function worked :(

All the really good vocalists are over on the jazz seen these days, in the pop and R&B scenes everything is getting autotune so you have no idea if they have the chops or not because the producers are just processing any soul out of their music

Autotune has made the business more of a joke than it already was. Jazz? what's that?
