Incredible Women: 90’s Part Deux

(RIP) Aaliyah Are You That Somebody?  Remember when this song was all over the place?

One in a Million “Love it babe, love it babe, love it babe…”

Sarah McLachlan Building a Mystery “You’re so beautiful, a beautiful fucked up man…”

Sweet Surrender (The opening tune and chorus is perfect.)

Tori Amos God (The background vocal during “Why you always when the wind blows?” always gets me.)



Incredible Women: Some 90’s goodness from various women artists

I’ve been watching these videos over and over on youtube for the past week.  What is it about them that I like so much?  Is it the quiet sensuality of each song?  Or is it the strength?  All three of them approach love, relationships, and adultery in very strong ways.

I talked to Jennifer Batten via Blog Talk Radio!  She provides a lot of great insight of being a touring guitarist for Michael Jackson

I’m the caller at 1:31 and I call again at the end of the show.   Behind the cut are highlights  for those who can’t listen.

I got my first taste of Martha Graham when I saw a history of dance (Ballet and Modern) show.  The Lamentation dance was what I saw, and I loved it.  I love the music too.

Tributes: I Heart….Grace Jones

I admit, I didn’t get truly interested in Grace until I saw Corporate Cannibal.  I’ve always known about her, but I’ve never gotten into her.  Now with her latest album, I’m a believer.  I love her, she’s so unapologetic about who she is.   She’s very worldly, has a very pleasant voice, thoughtful lyrics, and is very good at creating music. 

I wish I could have a fraction of her coolness, and I will buy her latest album, “Hurricane”.

Tributes: I Heart….Madhuri Dixit

The Divine Madhuri as Chandramukhi in Devdas.  I have a girlcrush on this beautiful lady. 

Dola re Dola with Aishwarya Rai.  Madhuri and Rai had such wonderful chemistry together.  So much that I wanted Paro and Chandramukhi to run away and become a couple themselves.

Tributes: I Heart….Wanda Sykes (NSFW)

I’ ve been watching her stand up ever since I was a teenager.  I first saw her on the first episode of Premium Blend when it was hosted by Jim Breuer.

“I just wish I could snatch his eyeballs out of his head, shove them up his butt and he’ll see how much of an ass he is,”

I love classical guitar, I hope to learn it one day, and this lady here is the gift that keeps on giving.
