Victor NP: 680AM -Buck and Kincaid, talking about the Michael Vick/Falcons debacle which I personally find appalling...a huge protest is planned for Thursday in Flowery Branch at the training camp facility. Many season ticket holders are bringing their dogs. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 17:12:57 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: njc, All You Need is....LUVS? The first time I ever heard Nick Drake was when I heard "Pink Moon" in the VW ad. A great ad. They're currently using Wilco's "What Light" in their ads, and I hope that helps to move a couple of units for them. Their new CD is a knockout.

Good observation, Jim-according to Mark Lewisohn's book, George Martin is playing "a Baldwin spinet electric harpsichord, John playing a repeated electric guitar riff and Paul adding bass." Martin says: "John, Paul and George sang the song in harmony. Then we overlaid it twice more, making nine-part harmony altogether, three voices recorded three times. I was literally telling them what notes to sing."

Instant Karla! I luv it! This is in bad taste, imo, tho I kind of like the "Hello Goodbye" version they use for Targets. I remember the furor over Nike's use of Revolution for their TV ads (courtesy of Michael Jackson). Maybe they should stick to, as John used to call them, Paul's songs for grannies.

There were a number of people in her vicinity who came with her down from the back room or upper office or whatever it was at the Mendel, where she'd likely gone to get a break from the crowds and reporters clamouring for her attention.

Ah yes, just recently I heard the "all you need is....LUVS" commercial. I suppose I am speechless on this topic....all you need is luvs? It doesn't even sound right....There is one commercial that goes, "hello goodBUY" which atleast uses what sounds like "goodbye.."ah well.... - -Monika ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2007 03:32:02 +0200 From: missblux@googlemail.com Subject: NJC my voice, synthesized There are so many interesting discussions going on right now, but here is something strictly NJC... If you people ever need your computer to read texts for you in Danish, you can now buy this software that does it: http://mikrov.dk/sw9440.asp And not only that, it does it in my voice! That is why the program is called Benedicte. It will read any text you have written... I worked for them quite a few years ago, but I didn't know they were successful until I heard my voice coming out of the radio the other day. And I sure did not know that there was software carrying my name. Now that is weird! "Download Benedicte..." "Get started with Benedicte..." Here is a little demo, it sounds very weird but it is my voice all right: http://www.instrulog.dk/rehab/produkter/Carsten.html The good news is, I think they owe me royalties...! I wish there was also a program that would sing for you with my voice, that would be fun!

I have the news on here behind me and just saw an upcoming story about a "coyote" running loose in Cleveland. No regrets coyote. They just don't want you running loose.... Anyway, I just remembered a random comment my sister made the other day concerning Joni. I brought up Joni for whatever reason to my sister (she doesn't care when I bring up topics such as Joni Mitchell but I still don't cease to do so). I don't remember what I said but here's what my sister said, obviously teasing me: (I found it funny, let's share a laugh, shall we?) "Ah, Joni Mitchell. What an amazing woman. Bad-ass too. I mean you think, and there's Catwoman, Wonder Woman....and Joni Mitchell." - -Monika, just spewing out random trivialities ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 23:03:56 -0700 From: "Lori Fye" Subject: Big Yellow Taxi heard tonight in Santa Rosa Sung by Gale Mead (http://www.galemead.com/) at The Last Day Saloon ( http://www.lastdaysaloon.com/), Gale amazed us all by hitting those really high notes (and the low notes too). BYT is on Gale's cd, "Live at Jessel's" (which a couple of us purchased at tonight's show), although my friends and I think Gale sounds better live. A very enjoyable evening by Gale and local guitarists.
