13. Shakira: Donde Estan Los Ladrones?

Why is it her spanish albums are so much better? Is it because I only vaguely understand the lyrics or are they just better in spanish? :think:

[Brian221]

In spanish, she's doesn't sound like a horse.:p

[ChrisLDog]

Yeah, and in english she sounds like a cornball.

[wendyful04]

Shakira does sound like a cornball in English - like she's trying too hard to be an American blonde. In Spanish, she's totally relaxed and in her element and she's badassssss. I have the spanish only version of Oral Fixation (her latest). It's way better than the english cd that just came out.

I saw her in concert in '97 and she didn't know a lick of English. She could barely introduce her non-hispanic band members' names but that freaking girl was slithering all over the stage, crooning and singing her heart out. Badass, I tell you.

Pies Descalzos is a good cd too. Her cd inserts helped me learned better spanish. I translated them completely for myself so that I would know what I was always singing.

11. The Center Stage soundtrack (hey! everyone has a guilty pleasure!)
12. a Be Good Tanyas album (which one? I'd have to think about it)
13. Sarah McLachlan Fumbling towards Ecstasy
14. Anny Celsi Little Black Dress and Other Stories
15. October Project self titled
16. Miles Davis Bitches Brew
17. A John Coltrane (prolly chasin the trane...but it's a tough call)
18. Billy Holiday Lady Sings the Blues
19. Chopin...which one...probably a collection of his Sonatas...
20. Crap! I'm on the last one?! either Puccini's Madama Butterfly or some Bartok...tough to decide which one I'd want for posterity...

[Hero1]

hey mistress..alana davis fan? I remember when flavours? came out.. I quite liked it..and remember having this conversation with my friend about it..and he was saying she was just an alanis rip off :haha:

[Etherspin]

theres no way id find 20

[wendyful04]

hey mistress..alana davis fan? I remember when flavours? came out.. I quite liked it..and remember having this conversation with my friend about it..and he was saying she was just an alanis rip off :haha:

I think you mean Ani Difranco rip-off. She was pressured by Elektra to remake it and at the time she didn't even know who Ani was.
Because of pressure like that, Alana told Elektra where they can go and started her own label, Tigress.



IMO, she outdid Ani on her own song. I went and bought the Ani cd to compare it for myself, because of all the harsh bitterness her fans had toward Alana (outdoing her) and Ani's version was ok but Alana's is better.

Either way, Alana Davis kicks a$$.

[Mistress M]

hey mistress..alana davis fan? I remember when flavours? came out.. I quite liked it..and remember having this conversation with my friend about it..and he was saying she was just an alanis rip off :haha:

I like alana davis well enough...but not enough where I'd want to listen to her for the rest of my life...

[Hero1]

haha Wendy and mistress are the same person right :p

[wendyful04]

No, but we're twins.

[wendyful04]

I like alana davis well enough...but not enough where I'd want to listen to her for the rest of my life...


I'm going to Anguilla next month to see Alana perform at the Moonsplash festival. My karma really hit an all-time high this year because my other most favoritest singer ever, Buju Banton, will be performing too, and I actually have the money to go.

:clap: :cheers:

[Mistress M]

No, but we're twins.

So...would that make you the Danny Devito one?:eek: :fingas:

[wendyful04]

So...would that make you the Danny Devito one?:eek: :fingas:


No, that would make me the Olsen twin who doesn't have the eating disorder.

Yeah, that one. That's right.

[Mistress M]

No, that would make me the Olsen twin who doesn't have the eating disorder.

Yeah, that one. That's right.

:rotf:

[Cozmo D]

No, that would make me the Olsen twin who doesn't have the eating disorder.

Yeah, that one. That's right.

[sdldawn]

regarding the question of Want 1 and 2 counting together..

Yes!

its getting released as a double album soon.

[LumtheMad]

Pretty sneaky desert island choice SDL! I like your moxey i just don't like it anywhere near my pants.

I remember going to see Rufus when he was having issue's with Want 2 being released and said to bombarded his lable with requests. I am pretty well pleased with both albums but i think as time progresses 1 will prove to be far better than 2.

[DJ Detroit Butcher]

Nice taking Material Issue on the island Deep! I just bought my wife the last album they did or put out after Ellison's suicide.

A very underated solid power pop group.

[DJ Detroit Butcher]

Ah yeh, Telecommunicano... uh, something.
Yeh there's some tight stuff on there, like "What if I killed your boyfriend" and "Carosell" or however it's spelled. Right on. Too bad dude ain't with us anymore ..

[LumtheMad]

We have been listening to it in the car this last week or so. You were pretty close on the name of the album. At points in times on that album i hear some White Stripes on it.(the sound i mean) I don't know.....might be imagining something.

I am waiting for one other thing from them in the mail The soundtrack to Freakcity or something? My lady likes the tune "Kim the Waitress".

You'll love it when it comes. I was in Chicago for a few years - friends of mine from work are on the back cover of their live album. I have "International Pop Overthrow", "Freak City Soundtrack", and "Goin' Through Your Purse - Live in Chicago (2400 Trouble Makers Can't Be Wrong)". :rock:

What are the "white stripes" you heard? Like white noise?

[DJ Detroit Butcher]

i still like the international pop overthrow album the best tho. yes, I can hear a little stripes in there ... can't you just see Jack screaming "VALERIE LOVES ME!!!!"

[pmFan]

i still like the international pop overthrow album the best tho. yes, I can hear a little stripes in there ... can't you just see Jack screaming "VALERIE LOVES ME!!!!"What song and how far in (what time) do you hear these? Maybe I am missing it - or maybe I am just used to it...

[DJ Detroit Butcher]

Go listen to "Valerie Loves Me", the first song on "international pop overthrow. I'm not gonna tell you what time cuz I want you to listen to the whole damn song.

[pmFan]

Dude, I've listened to it a million times and I just listened to it again. Either I don't understand what "White Stripes" are or my version of the CD doesn't have it. What does a "White Stripe" sound like? Or what do "White Stripes" look like if you rip the track to a wav file and open it in an editor like Cool Edit Pro? Maybe I have an early print that doesn't have the stripes?

[DJ Detroit Butcher]

um, wow. I would have thought you'd at least *heard* of The White Stripes. They're a band, from my hometown. "Fell In Love With A Girl", "Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground" "Seven Nation Army", "Screwdriver"???

[pmFan]

um, wow. I would have thought you'd at least *heard* of The White Stripes. They're a band, from my hometown. "Fell In Love With A Girl", "Dead Leaves and The Dirty Ground" "Seven Nation Army", "Screwdriver"???HA HA HA HA!!! NO! I thought you were talking about repeated white noise or something!!!:rolleyes:

I'll google the band - do you have a link to any of their stuff? What time are they from? 70's? 80's? 90's?

[DJ Detroit Butcher]

mid 90s up to about last year.
