Rachel Fury doesn't breathe!

[bpmolder]

That means she can stay down there a hell of a long time....















underwater, of course

Maybe her singing would sound better that way

I prefer her humming

I remember a woman once calling her "Rachel Furby" because of her thick cavegirl eyebrows. lol.

You mean driving in her Hummer, or giving you one?

Of course I'd rather she gave me one, but the cost of road tax, insurance (let alone the fuel costs) means it wouldn't be practical to accept such a gift.

We always called that "in-through-the-nose, out-through-the-mouth" breathing "circle-breathing" (I played trumpet for 12 years. It's almost like a mythical thing, as it's extremely hard to do. Dizzy Gilespie may have done it a bit, but, yeah, he puffed out his cheeks which is something MOST horn players will tell you is a no-no as it tend to decrease your control over notes. As with anything, though, there's always exceptions.

As for audible breathing in "Great Gig...", I was under the assumption that the song was really meant to express the torrent of emotions following someone's death, expressed in this song as a lamenting lover or mother might do. If that be the case, I find a few gasps suitable to the piece. I do agree, though, that large gulps of air too often can do the exact opposite of what is intended. I wasn't as impressed with Rachel's version as I thought I'd be by the reviews of her on YouTube. Still, it wasn't that bad. I've yet to really hear a version that I absolutely loved. The lady recording the first part on the PULSE tour was alright (I hope that wasn't Rachel Fury with blonde hair, else I suffer embarassment here), save for a few notes.

It really is a crucial piece in women's improvisational rock. Of course, there aren't that many out there. A little variation is welcome.

im pretty sure the blonde you refer to is sam brown.

and i always thought great gig was meant to be an enormous orgasm

[J Ed]

maybe its about La petite mort
orgasm = a little death

Hey, Mymloch did it.

[Cowards]

Well, be that as it is, I'm sure she was afraid to care.

I chuckled.

Still.

The first time I saw the message heading, I thought she'd died.
