I was all set to spend big bux today, but all I got was The Horrors and Bebel Gilberto. How much I like Bebel's new one will determine if I go to her show next week.

Anxiety said:

Aww. I was hoping for a review.

GangstaFam said:

i was hoping to write one!

i did get a promo CD sampler of both albums on one disc, so it wasn't a TOTAL bust...though it's a cheesy sampler - CDR with paper label slapped on, and the bonus tracks from "they say i'm different" aren't included - but hey, it was eight bucks. i'll take it for now.

PRINCE GOT HIS TRADEMARK YELP FROM BETTY DAVIS!!!!!
U KNOW.....THE ONE AT THE BEGINNING OF "SEXUALITY"!!!!!


BETTY DAVIS IS THE TRUTH & 1/2!!!!!

you can hear it a few minutes into "dedicated to the press", and it's hysterical!

Anxiety said:

I had a fun time learning that last night.

Anx said:

Okay, I've never heard of her but I MUST check her out now

CalhounSq said:

ya might want to smear some Peaches on the side just to get the raunch factor right.

Anx said:

DAMN, great article I listened to the sample they have on that page, cool shit. I like the writers description of the funk album: "Davis emerges from the middle of the groove, her husky voice cooing, purring the words. She doesn't so much sing as she prowls about the rhythm. She teases you with a mix of wanting and needing. Sometimes she growls; other times she whispers in your ear. All the while, the crunchy Bay Area funk of her backing group keeps the sexual tension teetering right on the verge."

I'm gonna put it in my Amazon basket, I'm even gonna click "purchase" this time

Thanks Anx

CalhounSq said:

my pleasure - you are going to have SO MUCH FUN with this music.

Seems like Amazon only has the remaster of "Betty Davis", not "They Think I'm Different"

Oh shit, nevermind. They just have them out of order, the 2007 reissue is there

Anxiety said:

She's actually on the front page of AMG and they give her lots of love.

GangstaFam said:

i dare anyone to write a bad review of a betty davis album! they won't be making any friends!

here's a page my sweetie sent me this morning with lots of love for betty and all kinds of samples and snippets and goodies to check out:

http://mog.com/music/Betty_Davis

a good page to sniff around in if you're curious about who this person is we keep going on about in this thread.

Anxiety said:

Promote her enough on the org and surely some killjoy will call her overrated. Orgers are contrarians like that.

sextonseven said:

oh, i know. if i were feelin' bitchy like millie, i'd start a pool to see which orger chimed in first with the breakthrough "she's not that great" post.
