oh the shark, babe, has such teeth dear.

its no big secret that many people think i have weird taste in music. in a world where the louder they bang and screech the better the quality of 'music', its no wonder why. taking nothing away from other ppl's pet genre, i juz think tt the whole jazz and big band thing is juz a class act above other types of music.

musicians like sinatra, dean martin, louis armstrong and nat king cole are juz cool. there's no other way to put it. to sing those songs that they sing juz requires tt level of charisma and charm that only very ppl possess. and hell, these guys have it in abundance.

u juz got to listen to martin and sinatra's mack the knife duet to noe what i mean. these guys have the sheer audacity to tweak a classic into something that juz screams coolness. hell sinatra was practically talking as the band was playing behind him AND he did it in tune and along with the music. buble tried to do sumfink like that for his cover of mack the knife, but even the 'smooth one' couldnt pull it off. and tt's saying a lot. his cover of sway is practically THE jazz song of today.

if u still think tt tt's nothing and say tt current musicians like 50 cent can 'rap' the way Sinatra did, then u dunnoe how wrong u are. no doubt 50 cent did his 'thang' well, but sinatra's was well this amalgam of singing and talking, quite different from rap altogether.

i can go on and on abt this really, but juz noe this, jazz and big band songs are cool, elegant, soothing and have some of the best lyrics around. cheers folks-

and he shows them, pearly white-
