I have unabashed love and enthusiasm for music.
I have unabashed love and enthusiasm for Was (Not Was). Who was the chick dancing by herself at the concert? Moi, of course. Join me people, join me. This stuff is too good to miss.
Lovely review by Ann Powers of the concert in today’s Los Angeles Times. The article even uses the words I chose in my previous post…”mash-up.” I used it to describe the line-up of artists, but Powers uses it to describe Was (Not Was):
“Was (Not Was), like Detroit, is an endearing mess,” Creem editor Brian J. Bowe wrote in 2004. More of a mash-up than a mess, I’d say. It resurfaced like a beautiful mirage at this Valentine’s Day party, which also featured guest artists Kris Kristofferson and Brian Wilson broadening the map from Nashville to California.
Wanna have some fun? Go to the Was (Not Was) MySpace page and have a listen. Check out “I Feel Better Than James Brown.” (NB: not for you faint hearted romantics)
Hey kids–the new album “Boo!” drops (love that lingo) on April 8.
Need more persuading? From TrouserPress.com:
Shattering the imaginary divisions between “black music” and “white music,” Detroiters David (Weiss; sax, flute, keyboards, vocals) and Don (Fagenson; bass, keyboards, guitar) Was use undated soul and funk as a flexible backdrop for their alternately serious and sarcastic commentary. The historical problem with a lot of dance music has been its rabid dissociation from intellect; more than almost any other group, Was (Not Was) obliterates that gap.

Hi,
I thought you and your readers might want to consider receiving free copy of Dead Rising 2. Here’s the story.
I stumbled upon a web site – http://www.deadrising2forfree.info (that i assumed was obviously a total bullshit, because everyone knows nothing is “free” and I saw this kind of websites before a lot), I decided to give it a shot and clicked through, followed on-screen instructions – and here I am three weeks later with my brand-new shiny piece of plastic – Dead Rising 2 unboxed!
Now get there and try it out yourself.
Hope I added some value to your blog and someone gets as lucky as me!
