Edie Brickell is easily explained when you realize she is super fucking stoned
Nothing can explain Linda Perry

"What's Up?" is a hideous misconception of a song from top to bottom and is only halfway listenable because the overwrought, wholly out-of-place vocal screeching"What I Am" is basically what Phish would sound like if they didn't want me to punch them in their phishy phaces― THE WORINÐLVE (DJP), Monday, August 5, 2013 12:49 PM (13 minutes ago)

I just keep imagining 4 Non Blondes as a band in the studio, putting down the backing tracks, and then Linda says "welp, time for me to BLOW SOME MINDS" and picks up the mic and screams into it while the anticipatory smiles on the faces of the rest of the band freeze and then become incredibly strained because they all remember what happened to Becky

In Flight is a really nice album
― stefon taylor swiftboat (s.clover), Monday, 5 August 2013 18:05 (eleven years ago) link
one thing i do really really really hate about 'what i am' though is how radio stations don't play the radio edit (probably don't have it in their library anymore) and so you have to hear brickell scat over a longer bridge leading up to that solo. tbh kinda really hate this trend of stations not playing radio edits of songs that really really worked better on the radio as radio edits (ie 'little red corvette' not 'sweet child o mine'). and despite this trend i somehow heard a radio edit of 'golden slumbers/carry that weight/the end' on the radio the other day - if you're going to play it at all why in god's name would you play an edit??? krs-one was right.

The Crimes of Linda Perry is probably worth a thread.
Points in her favor for "Beautiful," America's Sweetheart, and maybe some of the Pink stuff but for the most part it's a trail of smoking craters and James Blunt.

from the comments, i learn things:
this song was meant for herself before then P!nk said she wants it but linda refused, insisting it for herself but the nXtina come along with her on the Stripped sessions and Linda let her listen to the song and then Christina want to record it too so Linda finaly let go
Religion is a smile on a dog"
OMIGOD is that what she says????

Where was the edit in the Abbey Road medley?
Golden Slumbers always seemed to get to the chorus much faster than I remembered it, but when i listened to the album, it was like that all along.
Weird to look at radio edits - how on the album they were 4:16, but the radio edit was 3:42. I guess that's one more thirty for Sam's Transmission, but hell, was it really worth dropping that guitar solo?

Edie Brickell and Paul Simon are still married.
Imagine what lyric writing conversations around the breakfast table are like.

Paul probably just advises her to hire Los Lobos for sessions and then steal their material.

"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what." - Steven Fry
