As I didn't find a proper thread to post this, I've opened a new topic - hope it'll be okay ... if not I'll delete or relocate it.

Yesterday I found something interesting on the Net.

I must start by saying the following: when it comes to buying k.d. CDs and DVDs I usually order them over amazon in the UK – they have a larger choice and it's almost always cheapier than the German amazon. Yesterday I found this at amazon.co.uk: Sing It Loud by K. D. Lang (Audio CD - 2012)

It's also available at the Canadian amazon but not at the German or USA store. As the label is WEA Int'l I don't think...

What I want to be when I grow up

DJ Wika Szmyt plays music at a club in Warsaw January 4, 2012. Szmyt, 73, spends her retirement days behind a DJ console watching people dance to her rhythms. She plays disco, rumba or samba for a mostly elderly audience because she feels she is giving them a new take at life. DJ Wika plays in a Warsaw club three days a week but has also been involved in other musical projects, including parties where she plays for a younger and more demanding audience.

many thanks

Thank you Crowdog for this sad news which is not that unexpected and was bound to be known eventually.

My love to kd. I so hope you are ok. I wish you all the happiness you deserve.

January Special Offer !

feeds@yuku.com (confusedtofu) — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:56:58 PST

In a recent and thankfully rare domestic ritual which takes place annually on Hogmanay, there was an outbreak of extreme tidying up. In the well-ordered aftermath of chaos, it became clear the Tofu household has two (2) copies of Live By Request. That’s one (1) more than is actually required. This is probably a long shot, and an unlikely question to ask of a bunch of enthusiastic lang thangs, but is there anyone out there who doesn’t yet own a copy and would like to ? There is a minor potential snag :– the copy going spare is NTSC format and will trundle round making unattractive concrete-mixer noises in a PAL dvd player. It requires a multi-region player or a dedicated region 1 machine to make sense of it. There is another potential snag :– I’ll throw in a set of ancient langzines. There are still way too many of these bloody things cluttering up my freshly hoovered hovel. They’re essential reading if you’re...

Happy New Year Everyone. 2012! Bring it OOOOON!!!

kd songs that really don't do it

feeds@yuku.com (lovewatershed) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:05:32 PST

Perhaps a short and sparse thread, but in my alphabetical iPod listening I have come across two kd songs that actually make me go urrggghhh. First one was Tickled Pink, which I really didn't like, either lyrics or music, and the other was It's Happening With You. Hated it. Music - violent key changes and little overall coherence, lyrics - forgettable, but the worst thing is kd sounding like any other girl singer - and i say 'girl' advisedly. She seems to have tried to iron out every bit of character and individuality from her lovely voice and it's so multi-tracked and arranged that you wouldn't even know it's her. It's not because it's all in her soprano register, though that's unusual for her; it's just yeuchhh. Most of her many styles I can at least appreciate, even if I don't hugely like the odd one (eg extreme western swing I find a bit hard to cope with), but this was one experiment that definitely Does Not Work for me at any rate.

KD Lang Autographed Electric Guitar For Sale

feeds@yuku.com (gadgetguy007) — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:49:55 PST

I realized that by the time that I originally posted this, the auction for this guitar was almost over. The guitar has now been relisted at an even lower price.

In 2001, K.D. Lang performed at a private event WE TV (Women's Entertainment) hosted for a small gathering of TV executives. As an SVP of marketing for Comcast at the time and an avid music fan, I was invited, and watched as KD signed this gorgeous bright yellow guitar for me.

Since I already had another signed guitar from KD, I decided to sell this guitar on eBay. Here is a link to that auction:

KD signed quite legibly with a black sharpie right on the guitar (not the pick guard!)

A Review of all Official Singles Videos

feeds@yuku.com (Abstorch) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 12:43:46 PST

As I suggested elsewhere and given that Singles Videos have to be paid for by the artist, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at each one in turn and see what the different views about them are.

Would they have helped or hindered a song because sales is what they are about?

So I will try to find a YouTube of each and give each one enough time for people to ponder and reply. I'm sure if I miss one or get it in the wrong order, someone will step in and correct that. Please do.

Melting moments

feeds@yuku.com (lovewatershed) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:43:19 PST

...those little moments when kd adds something to a note or phrase that make me melt into a messy puddle of bliss. For starters -

Sexuality - the throaty purr each time she sings the word 'sexuality'
                - the moment of silence after the first verse and chorus
                - 'the skin that's held you in, yeah, held you' - that little throwaway 'yeah'
                - and the 'now' on 'now how bad could it be', delivered in the same way

Oh, I love Sexuality....

Maybe - 'Maybe I......am crazy' - that little pause

Infinite and Unforeseen - when she hangs onto Innnnn...finite that microsecond longer than she needs to

Thread - 'what is wrong with yours is right (slight rasp) with...
