The ironic thing is it was her latest album (2007!) that sparked my fandom insatiable obsession.

Actually, to clarify, it was the new album that made me want to go back and "catch up" on all her old albums that I had already bought but not quite "cracked" yet, and I fell in love with The Hissing Of Summer Lawns (1975) one week ago.

Of course I've been familiar with her hits for a long time (it's a Canadian thing) but I'm now at the level of "obsessed".

I don`t even have "Blue", which is a masterpiece. "River" is gorgeous!!!

What can I say... I buy a lot of wax
Not that I'm rich or anything, but music is the thang I spend my money on. You'd be surprised how much money you save by not drinking, smoking or going out clubbin'

Party at FuNkeNsteiN's!

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Precisely.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

LOL. I used 2 buy 5 to 6 cds/albums a week, but I realized that my bank account would be fatter if I didn't buy as many. Now I pick and choose what I buy. I still buy about 1 or 2 releases a week.

I didn't go out much in college, because I spent my extra money at Sound Warehouse.

Oh and here's something that might interest you...
an Amazon.com customer review

Folks, don't get this two-fer! Several of the songs are 'singles', not the 12-inch versions. Motown, in their infinite wisdom, apparently decided to squeeze as much as they could with this 2 on 1 CD. So, in order to accomplish that goal, they used the 'single' versus the 'album' version of songs (e.g., "Flying High"). I bought the albums Natural High and Midnight Magic as a teen. The albums are great!! This Disc, especially given today's technology - is an unfortunate throwback to when they could get a maximum of 74 minutes onto a compact disc (anybody remember that infamous Prince disc where they had to leave off "DMSR"? This is the same case!).

Keep your money in your pocket! Five stars for the Commodores and their music on both albums - but three stars for the 'chopped up' disc!

oh, i also bought the F.U.N.K. single on iTunes. yeah, i'm a sucker but that's not an album, so nevermind.

FuNkeNsteiN said:

Thanks for the info! I know how Motown is when it comes to releasing classic albums on CD.They sometimes don't use the full-length versions I have an import copy of the Commodores 'Hot On The Tracks' CD and for some crazy reason,the song "High On Sunshine" is edited!! Wtf?? It's missing the entire second verse!! Apparently,they were gonna release this song as a single in 1976,but they cancelled those plans.This CD contains that single edit.That's totally unacceptable.

OMG! OMG! OMG! You did it AGAIN. Our similar tatste in music is starting to spook me . you keep coming up with all these things I love that a lot of folks would consider a little obscure

Do you know I actually saw the tour of Dianne Schuur with the Count Basie Orchestra?! I was a teenager and I saw that show with my dad (who LOVES that woman), and I can imitate every one of those songs note.for.note. . Later as an adult I also ended up meeting Joe Williams, who actually did the Basie tour with her. My ex played with him the last show before his passing (I think at his home in Las Vegas ). Do you know that he was so elegant, the man wore monogrammed velvet loafers? The last thing I heard him humming (we were talking about his tour with Ms. Schuur and the Basie band) was Schuur's "We'll be Together Again

Those Minogue sisters are just too damned for their age


...yup, I'm hatin'

Cinnie said:

The nutty thing is, i think i already have about 80% of what allof you guys listed...I'm still missing ALOT of Joni, though.

I haven't bought anything in so long though...

But I did decide to treat myself to something from Amazon for Christmas, so I was thinking of something from Joni, the newest Jill Scott, and piano music from Litz & Chopin...and, at the moment, someone's in my office here at the house transcribing music from the latest Chaka Kahn and it's sounding kinda niiiice
....

Um,okay, I guess I'll be adding that too
