Random Commuter Thoughts
As some of you already know, I tend to listen to country music in the car. I really don't like any other kind of popular music and it's far too noisy to listen to jazz or classical. (Plus, I disapprove of using classical music as background noise. But that's another issue.)
Anyhoo, there's a new group around called Sugarland. The lead vocalist has a voice a lot like Terri Clark's, big and strong, except that she has the oddest case of "vowel drift" I've heard in a long time. Once she starts on a given vowel, you never quite know where she's going to end up, especially if the word is drawn out.
So, for example, "world" becomes something like, "weeeuuuuuaarld".
Thought you might like to know.
(Oh, for any of you who happen to catch the Ben & Brian Show on WMZQ (or elsewhere), I just have to say that it isn't the same since they booted Jamie Kennedy off. Too bad.)
Posted by Robert at April 13, 2005 09:08 AMSugarland's an interesting band form the country-music-video perspective: a cute young wholesome-looking blonde lead singer (and I'm sure someone at their record label is already trying to convince her to go solo) supported by two backup singer/guitarists who look (to me, anyhoo) like a slightly-cuter Kathy Bates and a countrified post-Behind The Music-rehab Leif Garrett...

Actually, I'd never even seen their pics until I dug up the website. I found a long time ago that music videos, on the whole, are very dissappointing. So I never watch them. Plus, if I tried to, I'd probably put my car into a tree.
