Promiscuity is equally inherent in both sexes.

100% agreeance from me.

Also, it's in MEN'S HEALTH so really, shooting fish in a barrel.

oh gross Kevin.

Yeah, I'm not LOLing at that part. I have a lot of anecdotal evidence to refute the choosy female/seed-spreading male biological imperative, as I'm sure we all do.

In some ways I wish I had the personal experience to back this up, because then I'd feel less like an asshole sometimes. But I'll prob. take occasionally feeling like an asshole vs. feeling completely horrible for being cheated on.

told again and again that you're not much more than a giant, erect penis thrusting about, searching for a home?

this description amuses me.

yay for people buying AD--i wasn't sure about posting the link and frustrating people who didn't have impulse-splurge money. i hadn't thought of christmas presents.

i didn't completely read that article. scanning it was amusing though.

earlier, somebody pointed me to a silly article about how men could be better in bed. speaking of gender stereotypes... http://www.eioba.com/a2849/fifty_mistakes_men_make_when_having_sex

my favorite line: she wants to feel adored by the man to whom she has just given her most precious asset.

I had to put my vagina down as an asset on my student loan form.

That was before I got married. Now Jeff puts it down as an asset on his applications.

Hey I asked a question that maybe some of y'all (like ARMANDO GROUSE over here) might know the answer to.

"Women, if you've been cheated on, you should have been a better playlist."

Not enough Motorhead. It's a common problem.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know of such a compilation, John, but I want one, too.

horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

One of the reasons I don't own anything like that is because okay, I love Gershwin and Porter, but they're not like bands with canonical 5-stars-on-AMG albums, or even slapped-together Rhino greatest-hits collections -- no, a million singers have performed Gershwin and Porter songs, and so there are very few "definitive" versions of anything.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

It's really a completely different model, even down to the fact that I came to love these songs not from any recordings but from my own playing of them.

The jazzman I work with suggests compilations on the Presitge and Verve labels, like this: http://www.vervemusicgroup.com/product.aspx?ob=prd&src=rslt&pid=9448

danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Right. And even if there were, licensing all of them for one set would be a nightmare. What you need is a mix CD from a jazzbo. I am ill-equipped in the standards department.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I am looking up Rodgers and Hart compilations on Amazon. there are one million. Ella Fitzgerald's "The Lady is a Tramp" is my favorite version.

horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

John I believe this is what you're looking for.

JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Gross.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

hahaha

danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmm -- well, I dunno. I don't have that many compilations, but there are a couple of things that come to mind.
1) The Songs of [year] series, which is always fun and has hidden hits (and some standards). Sarah liked the one I gave her from 1930, I think it was.

2) I would look on AMG under "vocal pop" or "American popular song" for direction. It shows me "Academy Award Winning Songs [year-year]" is a good option as well as looking for collections based on composer versus singer.

But I am more into the singer than the composer - I would rather just listen to the work of one singer who I particularly like, but that's me. I would put links in but 1) i don't remember how and 2) my wrist hurtz.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:36 (seventeen years ago) link

this one has Peggy Lee's "The Lady is a Tramp" on it, but it's just Rodgers and Hart songs: http://www.amazon.com/Isnt-Romantic-Capitol-Sings-Rodgers/dp/B000006MVH/sr=8-3/qid=1165343575/ref=pd_bbs_3/103-6832995-8765454?ie=UTF8&s=music

horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:38 (seventeen years ago) link

No seriously, this looks like what you're describing.

JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Ella Fitzgerald's "The Lady is a Tramp" is my favorite version

Yeah, ha -- she gets all Mark E. Smith on it: "Won't go to crap games with barons and earls-ah, don't go to Harlem in sables and pearls-ah."

Yeah, I guess this is my thing, is I don't know a whole lot about specific pre-rock singers because I haven't heard very much of them. I just played the tunes on the piano. People like Fitzgerald and Sinatra are exceptions because almost everyone's heard them, but I only know Ella's version of "The Lady is a Tramp" that Horseshoe brought up because Kelsey put it on a mix CD for me like three years ago. (And I was only able to make the Mark E. Smith comparison because I just listened to it on my iPod.)

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:42 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan, that one looks good!

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:43 (seventeen years ago) link

The Rodgers/Hart one looks good, too. Man.

Also would like recommendations on Jimmy Webb or Burt Bacharach compilations.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:45 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah, I would love to somehow be able to get the "best" version of like the Rodgers and Hart, Gershwins, and Porter bodies of work. my stepdad had Ella Fitzgerald sings everybody, basically, and sometimes, like on "Lady is a Tramp," she's amazing, but then, she's really slow and boring on "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered."

horseshoe (horseshoe), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Jeff prob. has a Burt B. recommendation. I know we've got some records of his that I l-o-v-e but I can't remember what they're called.

Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Not this Jimmy Webb, btw:

Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Similar to jaymc, I know most of these tunes from playing in jazz groups, but for half of them I've never even heard the lyrics.

JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:56 (seventeen years ago) link

WHOA. I am listening to Joanna Newsom on "All Songs Considered" and am just realizing that my favorite song on last year's Emiliana Torrini record is actually a SANDY DENNY cover. ARMANDO, please advise.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 19:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I just heard "The Heat Is On" (from Beverly Hills Cop) on the radio and a co-worker left some cookies on my chair, my day is looking up.

Nice. Can't wait until January so I can finally get SPECS.

jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 19:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm gonna be getting a new pair soon, maybe even this week. I cannot WAIT to be rid of these awful things. Any suggestions, folks? (Preferably, under about $100.)

I hope that my insurance company gets off their collective asses and approves my claim for new contacts sometime this year, as well.

danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 19:54 (seventeen years ago) link

1. My historic jazz go-to guy is named Armando for real. I might even have some of his compillations around the house somewhere.

2. My eye doc in GSO was in the same strip mall as a bar and yes, I have gotten my eyes checked after beerz.

3. Dan, it's hard to make specs suggestions w/out seeing them on yr face. But my glasses from Level Optical were $30 co-pay and I loves them.

Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 19:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I think the reason why the acronym GSO bothers me is that I think you guys are talking about a symphony orchestra at first.
