Subject: iMix! Thanks to those who voted on the BasiaWeb's Best of Basia iMix-- now it comes up right away for people searching on the iTunes Music Store. Just search for Basia in the "search music store" field, click on her name on the "Top Albums" area, and when her section comes up, it's right at the top of the iMixes! So check it out, if you haven't already, and pass it on! - -- Leslie O. "It's not that it goes over people's heads, it's just that they f------ ducked. --Banksy's "Existencilism" Tired of spam?

Subject: Wake up!: Underrated songs sheeesh, nothing going on over here, is there!? ;-) Fine then, I'll light a fire under your collective rear ends: you know how everyone always goes for the same batch of songs: Cruising for Bruising, Time and Tide, New Day for You, Promises blahblahblah... but so many awesome songs get completely overlooked. What is the Basia song that you think is so kickass but so underappreciated and underrated? Let's stick to 'Basia' material for this one and disregard 'Matt Bianco' for a minute. Or a half. ;-) As customary, I'll wait until ya'll post yours before I post mine. - -- Leslie O.

Rob McCausland here -- my maiden post. I'm wondering if anyone here can help me name the original source that Peter White somewhat quotes in his accordian lines. The four brief accordian riffs that start at 51 seconds in - at the ends of the lines 1) "We ordinary people", 2) "sometimes frightened a little", 3) "hiding our ancient hopes", and 4)"need someone to hold." Put thouse four accordian lines together, pump up the tempo a lot, straighten out the melody just a tad, and you've got a king-hell famous Latin jazz number from sometime back in the 30s or 40s, I should think. I just can't place it. Does anyone know what I think I'm hearing here? It's a really ramped up number -- I see dancers ala Ricky Ricardo or Ann Miller moving swiftly, boldly, left, right, left acoss a stage, hands thrown in the air, at the end of each line. In the slower setting White et al give it, this tune is also echoed in Bela Fleck's "Lover's Lane" (Outbound). Since I'm new to the group, I wouldn't know what might be considered "underrated." However, for what it's worth, "Third Time Lucky" and "Waters of March" are tracks I'll often listen to 4 or 5 times in a row - and it's been a long time since I've listened to any artist's work that way. Thanks for the thread, and any responses. ~Rob - -----Original Message----- From: owner-basia@smoe.org [mailto:owner-basia@smoe.org] On Behalf Of majewicz@adelphia.net Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 7:26 PM To: basia@smoe.org Subject: Re: Wake up!: Underrated songs - ---- "Leslie O." wrote: >What is > the Basia song that you think is so kickass but so underappreciated >and underrated?

Now I listen to the album and wonder what the heck I was thinking - I love that song. A fine example of Basia using the big, brassy tone she rarely sings with these days.

I will replay it and replay it just basking in the pure sound and the "perfect" ending. I know this is why I am drawn to this music. There just seems to be perfection in everything that is done by she and Danny.
