These notes discuss why a particular usage has been criticized and explain the rules and conventions that determine whats right, whats wrong, and what falls in between. Troublesome pairs such as affect / effect, blatant / flagrant, and disinterested / uninterested are disentangled, as are vexing sound-alikes such as discrete / discreet and principal / principle. Other notes tackle such classic irritants as hopefully, impact, and aggravate, as well as problematic words like peruse and presently.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A great graduation gift or stocking stuffer for anyone who cares about language, 100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses and Misuses is guaranteed to help keep writers and speakers on the up-and-up!&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rate Points :3.5&lt;br&gt;Binding :Paperback&lt;br&gt;Label :Houghton Mifflin Harcourt&lt;br&gt;Manufacturer :Houghton Mifflin Harcourt&lt;br&gt;ProductGroup :Book&lt;br&gt;Studio :Houghton Mifflin Harcourt&lt;br&gt;Publisher :Houghton Mifflin Harcourt&lt;br&gt;UPC :046442493338&lt;br&gt;EAN :9780618493333&lt;br&gt;Price :$5.95USD&lt;br&gt;Lowest Price :$1.90USD&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fun to flip through&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :3  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is cute book that is fun to flip through and keep with your dictionary.

Oh well. Its a good toilet reader. If you already have a strong English background then you probably wont benefit much from what this has to offer. There were very few words I came across that I confuse or misuse irregardless was one of them.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Easy Encyclopedia of Misused Ordinary Words&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :3  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;"100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses and Misuses" is meant for the closet lexicographer, or self-righteous vocabularies junkies like myself who love to watch TV and laugh at the errors of speakers. Naturally, we want to protect ourselves from the same fate, and heres where the editors of the American Heritage Dictionaries have helped us out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;100 words are here, from adverse to zoology. All will be familiar, but not all will be known. Troubling words, like discreet and discrete, are not only defined thoroughly, but clearly, with examples in common speech. Misuses are explained, and, before we become too smug, we discover words we too have confused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Words like impeach are included. In this case, it is not because there is a homonym, but because its definition has been misunderstood in popular language.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will not invest either much time or money in this tiny treasure, but you might learn something. I have, and so then, I fully recommend "100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses and Misuses."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anthony Trendl&lt;br /&gt;http://AnthonyTrendl.blogspot.com&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :4  Helpful Point :2  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;An excellent introduction to commonly misused words.

I wanted a book to help me find the RIGHT word quickly and easily. CHECK! I wanted words that were accessible and useful, not archaic and esoteric words that impede and retard communication by their cryptic nature. CHECK! I wanted to know the proper pronunciation. CHECK! I wanted an index. CHECK! I wanted usage examples and word origins. CHECK! I wanted something small to read wherever. CHECK! And finally, I wanted a diversity of subject matter. CHECK! &lt;br /&gt;I would also like to tell anyone thinking of buying this book to do so. I can now describe the world around me in quite impressive fashion.

The furrowed eye brough, the wrinkled nose, the subtle tilt of the head, the raised chin, the sudden and incontrollable itch on the forehead, the fluttering of the eyelids, the deer in the headlights, that look of utter amazement and on and on.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cant wait to try this out when the Hare Krishnas knock on my door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/OxfordAmericanWritersThesaurus/"&gt;Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AGNKQuoyL._SL75_.jpg" style="float:left;padding:5px;width:41px;height:41px;"&gt;This new edition of the Oxford American Writers Thesaurus is more exceptional than ever, solidifying its place as the one thesaurus every writer (or aspiring writer) will want to have.

Others are once-in-a-lifetime kind of words and they should not really be included as one of the 100 words.

Because I fear losing words, I bought this little book as a refresher. A mistake: There are fourteen words I did not know and two that drew less than satisfactory definitions from my mind. Now should I really admit this to the public after claiming I love words? Absolutely, an honest wordaholic is the only kind with respect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gravamen&lt;br /&gt;Nope, could not define, but can now: "the part of a legal charge that weighs most substantially against the accused."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nictitate&lt;br /&gt;"To wink. Used especially in connection with birds...a transparent eyelid that closes to protect and moisten the eye."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sesquipedalian&lt;br /&gt;"Given to or characterized by the use of long words."&lt;br /&gt;Ex., "the sesquipedalian prose of scientific journals."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gemutlichkeit&lt;br /&gt;"Warm friendliness, amicability." &lt;br /&gt;Derived from the German "congenial" and "spirit or feelings"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought I knew gravamen, but could not adequately define the word, so it is one of the 16. The other one--not a clue, although "sesqui" is 16, and "ped" is foot, so 16 feet, but that did not take me any further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am keeping "100 Words" in an advantageous spot to pick up and review the old words and learn the new. Even though I am not given to using sesquipedalian words in daily speech, I can locate it in a sentence and will try to do so soon. Otherwise, I am just nictitating  the reason for learning them. If taken to a jury, I would suffer the gravamen of negligent use. Even so, the judge and jury might exhibit gemutlichkeit toward me, but such an act will change nothing and I will begin spewing glossolalia toward them and the audience in defiance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So much for time off for good behavior! I am behind before I even begin! Bon mot! That pretty much means Word up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is a waste&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :1  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;This book was a waste. If it were better written, it could be reduced to 5 pages and not lose any of the words.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;100 Words Every Word Lover Knows&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :1  Helpful Point :1  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Word lovers know or should know almost every word in this book. Its really a book for people who dont love words but think they want to. The format is good and the price is right. Maybe its a good stocking stuffer for a young person who likes to read and write.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/100WordsAlmostEveryoneConfusesandMisusesThe100Words/"&gt;100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses and Misuses (The 100 Words)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41KZS6WVE0L._SL75_.jpg" style="float:left;padding:5px;width:41px;height:41px;"&gt;The 100 Words series continues to set the standard for measuring and improving vocabulary, with a new title focusing on words that are best known for getting people into linguistic trouble. 100 Words Almost Everyone Confuses and Misuses is the perfec&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/100WordsEveryHighSchoolGraduateShouldKnow/"&gt;100 Words Every High School Graduate Should Know&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41FV3QNFF7L._SL75_.jpg" style="float:left;padding:5px;width:41px;height:41px;"&gt;What should the vocabulary of a well-rounded high school graduate be like?

My journalist husband comes home with a new nugget of knowledge for me every day :)  Highly recommended!&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Very good&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;I bought the book because I know the website. The book looks great, I really like the drawings. Very clever, very useful and makes a good present, too.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Very useful, especially for non-native speakers!&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a very good book, and it is essential for anyone linguist or person who wants to speak or write English well. I really like that the book covers a lot of areas, from "style" (hyphenation), French (and other languages I believe, but mostly French) words (hors doeuvres), to the difference between "disc" and "disk." The first one is the one of music CDs because theyre laser CDs, whilst the other one reproduces the data "magnetically," as in a "hard disK" Isnt that interesting? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Im an English teacher in a country where English is very necessary, but most people (and many professors/teachers) still make a lot of mistakes that shouldnt happen. This is not an ESL/EFL guide, but its certainly VERY fun to read, and even if youre a native speaker Im sure that youll find some interesting and curious things. That said, imagine how much a non-native can gain from this book! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I totally recommend buying this book! Plus, it has drawings! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.: Theres a new 2nd edition that has just been released, Ill be buying that one too and comment on the differences with this one.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wrong year calendar.&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :1  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;I thought it was a 2009 calendar, but it was for 2008.  Both copies are useless.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Really, a fun read&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;I should warn you that I sat down in the middle of a busy day when I first received this and read it for an hour. Now I keep it in the kitchen to continue reading while I wait for the microwave to finish my meal. I absolutely love it, and I cannot agree with the person who thought any seventh grader would know this information. Well, maybe while he or she was still in seventh grade, but I just find it delightful to discover someone who still believes it is wrong to say "Me and Harry went to the movies." It is particularly upsetting to hear professional newscasters and other speakers making that mistake. Ouch!  Im afraid it will become standard in spite of people like Paul Brians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And how great it is to find someone who still knows the difference between "imply" and "infer." Then to find that he really understands the ins and outs of "data/datum." I still cringe when I hear "data" used to refer to the singular, but I suppose I have to yield to "progress" in the language. I still believe that the research papers I read (and occasionally supervise on the thesis level) refer to several bits of information when the word "data" is used.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must say, though, that writing this is a bit scary.  I expect someone to pick on my poor usage somewhere.  Oh well, so be it. Ive had the pleasure of a bit of ego massaging in being able to say "Yep, I knew that." Oops! I dont find "yep" in the book. Anyway, its fun.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/AnIncompleteEducation3684ThingsYouShouldHaveLearnedbutProbablyDidnt/"&gt;An Incomplete Education: 3,684 Things You Should Have Learned but Probably Didn't&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VC0GMC7AL._SL75_.jpg" style="float:left;padding:5px;width:41px;height:41px;"&gt;When it was originally published in 1987, An Incomplete Education became a surprise bestseller.

This book does offer a lot of riddles. What makes it unique though is its wide range of different type of mind bending puzzles. It is quite the challenge and worth the buy.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Simply Innovative&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :3  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Unlike many puzzle books out there, this one contains all original and never-before-seen puzzles only.

I was impressed with the large variety of challenges presented. Why do word puzzles all day when you can cross train your brain with spatial, math, visual, and logical problems? This book has them all. The illustrations that accompany each puzzle are also very nice. Get your thinking caps on, though-these highly enjoyable puzzles are "Not-So-Simple"!&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheColossalBookofShortPuzzlesandProblems/"&gt;The Colossal Book of Short Puzzles and Problems&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517TCNR5YDL._SL75_.jpg" style="float:left;padding:5px;width:41px;height:41px;"&gt;Finally collected in one volume, Martin Gardners immensely popular short puzzlesalong with a few new ones from the master.For more than twenty-five years, Martin Gardner was Scientific Americans renowned provocateur of popular math.

 &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :5  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Im a casual opera fan and I admit that until a few days ago I didnt even know who Mirella Freni was. Then a friend, whose taste I respect mentioned that an Italian lady named Freni was the second greatest Violetta hed ever heard. He went into raptures and I decided that I had to hear this woman. This morning I bought the CD, put it in my player and was astounded and delighted to hear one of the sweetest voices I have ever heard in my life. Mirella Frenis singing is simply beautiful.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;A great voice and a great lady!&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :3  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mirella Frenis singing even today when shes over sixty still teaches all the young sopranos a lesson how a voice can be preserved. Her singing is lovely, creamy and colourful. Shes by far my favourite Liu and part of the Mimi-Triumvirate: Victoria de los Angeles, Maria Callas and Mirella Freni. Her first Mimi with Nicolai Gedda was a revelation, the complete set is a must for ever Puccini-Lover. And despite its not being idiomatic and her poor French her Juliette is riveting and lovely. But my favourite Freni-role will always be Elisabetta in Verdis "Don Carlo" which she sang to perfection on a live-recording from La Scala (Abbado) featuring Carreras, Ghiaurov, Obraszowa etc. etc. An amazing set for those who want to know why Mirella is still adored today!&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;What a wonderful voice!&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :1  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;I first heard Mirella Freni singing at a movie theater in downtown Peoria, Illinois in the mid-1960s it was a theatrical version of "La Boheme," with Nicolai Gedda singing the tenor role on screen.  I was enchanted!  Ms. Freni was born in 1935 and made her debut in her home town in 1955 (according to the notes accompanying the two CD set).  Her singing cuts across a number of styles--from Mozart to Gounod to Puccini and Verdi, with a stopover with Bellini and Donizetti.  She chose her roles carefully, to preserve her voice.  Results are most satisfying!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some cuts well depict her singing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Si mi chiamano Mimi": This hallmark aria from "La Boheme" captures her vocal skills well.  She exhibits a lovely voice and suits Mimi beautifully.  She catches the pathos--and hope--of the character. This rendition is smoothly sung, with no problems as she moves from one register to another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Addio. . .Dionde lieta usci": This affecting work from Scene III of "La Boheme" is ravishingly and poignantly sung.  Her voice is lush and free of affectation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Un bel  di": From "Madame Butterfly," she essays this famous aria.  Well rendered.  Her voice suits Puccini  nicely.  Again, smooth progression from one register to another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"O rendetemi la speme. . .Qui la voce. . .Vien diletto":  I had never thought of Freni as singing the bel canto repertoire, but she does a nice take of this redoubtable coloratura piece.  The early aria is well sung.  Just so, "Qui la voce."  Her effort at "Vien diletto," the wonderful cabaletta, is wonderfully musical.  There is some ornamentation, but no trills or other tools of the standard coloratura repertoire. If ytou want the "real deal" coloratura version, listen to Joan Sutherland or Sumi Jo. Nonetheless, a touching version.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"E strano. . .Ah! fors e lui. . .Sempre libera": A well sung version from Verdis "La Traviata."  There are many approaches to this piece--from Sutherlands heavily coloratura version to Scottos and Moffos more musical, more character-rich versions.  Freni tends more to the latter than the former and compares well with both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fine, a nice 2 CD set that well shows off Mirella Frenis work.  Anyone interested in this fine sopranos corpus would be well advised to take a listen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Superstar To Remember&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :5  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;I fell in love with opera because of Mirella Freni.  I heard her sing Mimi to Pavarottis Rodolfo in La Boheme about 30 years ago.  Hearing this CD was like seeing a long-lost love, and appreciating them even more this time around.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freni was a Puccini specialist, and you get an embarrasment of Puccini riches on this CD.  Of course, you get the arias "Si, mi chiamano Mimi" and "Addio...DOnde lieta usci" from La Boheme.  Those also feature the incredible Niccolai Gedda.  I sure would have liked it if they threw in "O soave fanciulla" as well.  You also get arias from Tosca, Madama Butterfly, La Rondine, Gianni Schicci, Suor Angelica, and Turandot.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But wait, theres more!  I had not heard Freni sing Micaela until this CD.  Wait until you hear the "Je dis que rien ne mepouvant".  It will set you free.  Then she throws in "Comme autrefois" from Pearl Fishers.  Donizetti, Cilea, Mascagni, Massenet, Bellini, Gounod, Mozart, even Verdi(!)...all here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was one thing I found unusual about this compilation, and that was the noticeable absence of "Dove sono" and/or "Porgi amor".  I mean, those roles are clearly in the reach of any lyric soprano.  I did a little research, and found that she really didnt sing the Countess role in Figaro, she sang Susanna!  OK, so lets just say her voice was on the light end of the lyric fach.  If thats the case, it makes selections from Tosca, Butterfly, Traviata, Turandot, and Forza kind of curious, doesnt it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the end, it doesnt matter.  This is an awesome compilation from one of the greatest sopranos of all time.  No one is like Freni, and no opera lover should be without this performance record.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Highly recommended.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;My growing affection&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :7  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Freni is a soprano I didnt much care for in the past. For some reason I took her for granted and didnt listen to her records a lot. However, in search for an lyric soprano with ample coloratura to tackle bel canto roles as well, Freni was one of the few I could think of who had the qualities I was looking for unmistakeable Italian phrasing and musicality, a firm middle register with an easy top and a sweet timbre. &lt;p&gt;This new release is a great introduction to her big recording legacy. She didnt possess the largest instrument but her technique and wise choices allowed her to expand her repertoire in many areas. The lyrical roles such as Zerlina, Mimi, Liu suit her the best but notice how a more florid part like Norina in Don Pasquale or even the more demanding Puritani Elvira benefits from her firm lyric sound. She avoids the highest notes and if needed sings them carefully but everything is so charmingly sung that a single note cannot ruin the whole. Sincere classical singing does not lie in a single note. Even without the large voice these roles need, she handles the heavy Verdi parts impressively. "O patria mia" and especially Desdemonas scene are magnificient.              &lt;p&gt;This collection has increased my admiration for this wonderful artist. If all the sopranos were flowers in a garden, Freni would be a lovely daisy.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofRenataScotto/"&gt;The Very Best of Renata Scotto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofVictoriadelosAngeles/"&gt;The Very Best of Victoria de los Angeles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofFrancoCorelli/"&gt;The Very Best of Franco Corelli&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofMontserratCaball/"&gt;The Very Best of Montserrat CaballÃ©&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofNicolaiGedda/"&gt;The Very Best of Nicolai Gedda&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1352756116961110879-1514671115350236534?l=confusedreginald.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/feeds/1514671115350236534/comments/default' title='ส่งความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2009/02/very-best-of.html#comment-form' title='0 ความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/1514671115350236534'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/1514671115350236534'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2009/02/very-best-of.html' title='Very Best Of'/><author><name>Reginald Briggs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14190466186509389925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352756116961110879.post-7230467867804255021</id><published>2009-02-17T19:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-17T19:07:05.179-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Very Best Of Renata Scotto</title><content type='html'>  &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestOfRenataScotto/"&gt;The Very Best of Renata Scotto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div  style="padding:7px;float:left;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JJ5MCAZBL._SL160_.jpg"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rate Points :5.0&lt;br&gt;Binding :Audio CD&lt;br&gt;Label :EMI Classics&lt;br&gt;Manufacturer :EMI Classics&lt;br&gt;MPN :85108&lt;br&gt;ProductGroup :Music&lt;br&gt;Studio :EMI Classics&lt;br&gt;Publisher :EMI Classics&lt;br&gt;UPC :724358510829&lt;br&gt;EAN :0724358510829&lt;br&gt;Price :$16.98USD&lt;br&gt;Lowest Price :$10.62USD&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="relatedimg"&gt; &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41brH2H9lxL._SL75_.jpg"&gt; &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JJ5MCAZBL._SL75_.jpg"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;The lush and skilled voice of Renata Scotto&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :2  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Renata Scotto was an esteemed soprano of the 1950s and 1960s and into the 1970s.  She was known well for her characterization.  She combined a rich, skilled voice with the ability to create characters on stage.  This 2 CD set illustrates her art quite nicely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some illustrative cuts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Si, mi chiamano Mimi": This wonderful aria from "La Boheme" is natural for Scotto.  Her smooth, rich voice captures the young Mimi nicely.  There is a poignant characterization evident as well.  She is a great stylist here, without some of the annoying affectations that occasionally mar singers performances.  Nice transition from register to register.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"O soave fanciulla": This represents one of the great duets in opera.  She and her partner, Alfredo Kraus, blend their voices most attractively.  Kraus begins wonderfully when Scotto joins him, it is "goose bump city."  A wonderful version of this duet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Qui la voce. . .Vien diletto": Scottos lush voice is attractive here.  She is not a coloratura soprano per se, but her characterization is striking.  There is a hint of vocal strain here and there there is also a bit of shrillness on occasion.  But no big deal.  The cabaletta is musical, but without much ornamentation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"E strano. . .Sempre libera": One of Scottos signature roles was Violetta in "La Traviata."  This was sung later in her career, and it shows.  Her characterization is fine, but the voice is not what it once was.  There is some harshness here and there the shift from middle to higher register is not as smooth as earlier in her career.  Nonetheless, a compelling start and an animated "Sempre libera."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Spargi damaro pianto": One thinks of Joan Sutherland or Beverly Sills here, not Renata Scotto.  This was recorded in 1959, in her prime.  This cabaletta is richly sung, without much ornamentation.  While it is rather vanilla, there are nice staccato notes and a fine concluding high note.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Un bel di vedremo": Ravishing.  Thats the word Id use to describe her singing on this well known aria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All in all, a very nice introduction to Renata Scottos musical corpus.  Well worth listening to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Great CD&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Renata Scotto is captivating in this very best collection of Opera Arias, I definitely recommend this CD.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;The "Singers Singer"&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :7  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am thrilled to write the first review of this CD.  It is wonderful, and a must-have for fans of lyric sopranos and opera lovers in general. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This CD is a real treat, because it has recordings of Ms. Scotto at various stages of her career: the mid-late 50s, 60s, 70s, and early 1980s.  It is instructive and interesting to hear the trajectory of her voice over the years, and priceless to hear some of the roles and arias she truly made her own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lets start with the earlier recordings, made between 1958 and 1966.  Here is the Renata Scotto that took the world by storm after stepping in for an "indisposed" Maria Callas in 1953.  These are truly awesome.  One of my favorites is her "Una voce poco fa".  She sings it like she was born to sing it.  I can also imagine a very cute 24 year old Renata Scotto charming everyone as Rosina.  But the highlight of this group is definitely the "Madama Butterfly" from the famous 1966 recording she made with Barbirolli.  There are six full arias/duets, starting with "A!  Quanto cielo!" and ending with "Tu? tu? piccolo iddio!"  The "Un bel di" is sublime, and the "Vogliatemi bene" duet with Carlo Bergonzi was transporting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She then includes two arias from "Nabucco".  This is probably one of those problematic career roles many people fault her for.  Abigail is a very strenuous role.  The character is mad...through the whole opera.  Shes constantly agitated and yelling.  That means it is a scream fest for soprano.  I just wince when I hear these arias.  She does them OK, but really has to push.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The later selections show a mature Scotto.  These recordings were made in 1980 and 1981.  There are some amazing things here.  I was least impressed by her three selections from "La Boheme".  Her money notes in "Si. Mi chiamano Mimi" are unsteady and her vibrato kind of wide.  But, you think, hey it happens over time, right?  Then, you hear a recording of six selections from "La Traviata" from two years later.  Incredible.  The very difficult first big scene, starting with "E strano" and ending with "Sempre libera" was perfect.  Her "Teneste la promessa" will break your heart.  It was without a doubt, one of the best Violettas Ive ever heard.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, before we end, her "Vissi darte" was the best Ive ever heard.  It is an amazing performance by a woman, who at age 47, really understood what the aria is about.  Ive heard it so many times, and by so many great singers.  With Renata, I felt I was hearing it for the first time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brava Scotto and EMI.  Thank you for this wonderful CD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Highly recommended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofFrancoCorelli/"&gt;The Very Best of Franco Corelli&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofMontserratCaball/"&gt;The Very Best of Montserrat CaballÃ©&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/RenataScottoItalianOperaArias/"&gt;Renata Scotto - Italian Opera Arias&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51zjcnETsML._SL75_.jpg" style="float:left;padding:5px;width:41px;height:41px;"&gt;Amazon.comThe bulk of this wonderful CD was recorded in l974, before the top of Scottos voice--always a bit acidic--had turned positively treacherous.

The world of opera mourns her loss. She was a gifted soprano and a wonderful human being. On stage, she was able to directly speak to her audience and communicate with them in a very special and rare way that is not always seen today. She never hid herself behind a facade nor distanced herself from fans and audiences. She was born to sing opera. It was in her blood. This album showcases De Los Angeles in her most memorable and successful roles. Victoria De Los Angeles was one of the first singers from Spain to win worldwide acclaim. Others would follow- Placido Domingo and Montserrat Caballe. De Los Angeles is showcased in this album which may also serve as a tribute to the now late soprano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her voice was essentially full lyric with some spinto. Hearing her renditions of "O Mio Babbini Caro"- a signature soprano role, as well as "Ebben Ne Andro Lontana" from La Wally and her performances as Mimi, one is clearly treated to the truest form of a pure lyric soprano. Her voice is spunned gold, with sweet, warm, feminine textures. Her reperotire remained in the Italian and French. Of course, being Spanish, she was a leading singer in Spanish Lieder and romantic ballads. Her Art Songs in Spanish are full of elegance and grace. A champion of obscure composers, she sang and recorded recitals that featured the works of lesser known composers, though strictly Lieder and Folk/Art Song.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victoria De Los Angeles is fortunately a well-documented artist. Some film footage exist of her performances. I seem to recall that there exists a taped performance of her Violetta in Verdis La Traviata. She excelled in the lyric roles of Mimi in Puccinis La Boheme, Marguerite in Gounods Faust. Her Madame Butterfly is a pure lyric rendition, with less of the dramatic intensity other singers have given the role- i.e. Leontine Price, Maria Callas, Renata Tebaldi, etc. But her Butterfly is actually the way the role ought to be sung. Its a voice of grace, naivete and above all romance that must colorize Butterfly. The dramatic intensity only makes her sound older and madly passionate. She is only a fifteen year old girl who has been deceived and betrayed. She must remain youthful sounding. De Los Angeles does justice to the truest form of Butterfly. She was thrilling in French and Italian operas and her Spanish songs were briliant and beautiful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victoria will always be remembered. She was a unique and talented artist of the lyric repertoire. Her pure, lovely voice was like an angels. There will never be another Victoria De Los Angeles. With her death, the end of an era also passes. In particular, I will always remember one reported incident. She was about to make her first recital in America but she had no accompanist- pianist/guitarist etc. When asked how she would handle this, she remarked: "Well I brought my guitar with me". And she proceeded to accompany herself with the guitar.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;A n angelic voice&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :6  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;De los Angeles ability to sing with elegance and style has rarely been equalled and never been surpassed. Shes the greatest Charlotte in "Werther", the most tender Santuzza in "Cavalleria Rusticana" and the most sumptuos Nedda in "I Pagliacci". Her Lieder-Recordings are legendary, my favourites are the Spanish ones of course. What a piano-culture and what a velvet sound! Get this set, its cheap and it has GREAT singing!&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;The very best performance by Victoria de los Angeles&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Is the recording on Allegro records of her performance of Madame Butterfly in New Orleans in 1954, not the Rome recording. She is simply radiant, perfect, a voice truly that is a victory for the angels. Unbelievably marvelous.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Very nice introduction to the work of a great soprano&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;This 2 CD set is a terrific introduction to the body of work of Victoria de los Angeles.  As the "liner notes" point out: "She was an artist who brought individuality and a sense of joy to everything she performed. . . ."  And this is not hyperbole.  She was a top soprano in the middle part of the twentieth century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some cuts exemplify her art:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Un bel di" is a ravishing version of this well known aria.  She demonstrates a rich voice with fine musicality.  This is a ravishing version of this aria.  The singer displays good vocal control.  There are nice transitions across the registers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Si, mi chiamano Mimi" is another well known work for sopranos.  Again, nicely done.  She appears (to me anyhow) to catch the spirit of Mimi very nicely indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From "La Traviata," she essays "E strano. . .Sempre Libera."  This is an affecting version.  She does not have the coloratura armamentarium that some have brought to bear on this aria, but she does a fine job nonetheless.  She seems to capture the desperate spirit of Violetta in "Sempre Libera."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rossinis "Una voce poco fa" is a nice tour de force for sopranos.  De los Angeles does a nice job here.  This is a work from the Bel canto repertoire, but she does well.  She shows vocal agility and captures the spirit of the work.  This is an affecting, charming version.  There is some occasional vocal harshness, but not a serious issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From "Carmen," "Lamour est un oiseau rebelle."  Richly and nicely sung.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her range on this CD is worth noting: from Puccini and Verdi to Wagner to Rossini to Gounod.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then another of her specialties--songs.  She does a nice turn with the Spanish song "Malaguena."  Then, in a nice twist, she accompanies herself on guitar in "Adios Granada."  Im not normally so excited about songs, but in this case I found her work enchanting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if you want to get a sense of the artistry of Victoria de los Angeles, this is an excellent starting point.  Highly recommended!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;the genius of de los angeles&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :7  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;the incomparable de los angeles combines exquisite sound and nuance to the world of superb singing. her mastery of a variety of styles is astounding and yet it always sounds natural.her magic will live forever.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofFrancoCorelli/"&gt;The Very Best of Franco Corelli&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofRenataScotto/"&gt;The Very Best of Renata Scotto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofLuciaPopp/"&gt;The Very Best of Lucia Popp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofMontserratCaball/"&gt;The Very Best of Montserrat CaballÃ©&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/VeryBestof/"&gt;Very Best of&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1352756116961110879-7056249953433448134?l=confusedreginald.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/feeds/7056249953433448134/comments/default' title='ส่งความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2009/02/very-best-of-victoria-de-los-angeles.html#comment-form' title='0 ความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/7056249953433448134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/7056249953433448134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2009/02/very-best-of-victoria-de-los-angeles.html' title='The Very Best Of Victoria De Los Angeles'/><author><name>Reginald Briggs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14190466186509389925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352756116961110879.post-7221450744082331418</id><published>2009-02-15T21:02:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-15T21:02:52.933-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Very Best Of Montserrat CaballÃ©</title><content type='html'>  &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestOfMontserratCaball/"&gt;The Very Best of Montserrat Caball&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div  style="padding:7px;float:left;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21S5PKVDMQL._SL160_.jpg"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rate Points :5.0&lt;br&gt;Binding :Audio CD&lt;br&gt;Label :EMI Classics&lt;br&gt;Manufacturer :EMI Classics&lt;br&gt;MPN :75891&lt;br&gt;ProductGroup :Music&lt;br&gt;Studio :EMI Classics&lt;br&gt;Publisher :EMI Classics&lt;br&gt;UPC :724357589123&lt;br&gt;EAN :0724357589123&lt;br&gt;Price :$16.98USD&lt;br&gt;Lowest Price :$10.37USD&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="relatedimg"&gt; &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31e%2B6c36XCL._SL75_.jpg"&gt; &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21S5PKVDMQL._SL75_.jpg"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Early Caballe, covering the range of her opera roles&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :4  Helpful Point :4  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Leaving the hype aside, EMI would have been more accurate to entitle this 2-CD ssurvey "Opera Arias by the Young Caballe." In the whole generous 151 min. there are only 6 songs to represent her extensive recital repertoire, and no Zarzuela.  For those items you have to go to rCA. Here we get Caballe mostly from the Seventies (1971-79) with bits form the early Eighties. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reviewers below have given deserved praise to Caballes abilities as diva. My onw opinion is that she was better on records than in the opera house. She wasnt gifted as an actress and cut a short, wide figure onstage. But as a vocal actress on disc she was very convincing, despite her over-reliance on pathos and delicacy. One longs at times, amid all the beauitful floated notes, for more spine and guts to her heroines. (I find her acclaimed Aida, for example, a one-note portrayal.) Lady Macbeth needs to be more sinister, Elisabetta more tragically enduring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all, this two-fer serves as a fine survey of her early career, and for listeners like me, who dont necessarily buy Caballes complete opera sets, it may be all we need.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cut-and-Paste Caballe&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :10  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;This two-disc recital draws heavily upon two Caballe recital discs (a Bellini/Verdi recital, and a recital of Puccini arias), with some extra material thrown in. At the end of disc one, there are also some Spanish songs thrown in, a good choice, since Caballe sang these songs extensively in her many recitals.&lt;p&gt;For Caballe fans that already own the backlist of her recitals, there is not enough here to entice you to buy this new recital, unless you like the unique combination of arias. Tracks 1-5 on disc one are wonderful interpretations by Caballe of Verdian arias. I especially like the one from Macbeth- perfectly executed, with the pianissimi in all the right places. Equally as thrilling is her Tu Che Le Vanita, a dramatic, long aria that shows off the interpretive power she was capable of, when she wasnt in a lazy mood. As for the Ave Maria, I find it curious that they chose to cut the preceding Willow Song. In my mind, you can have a Willow Song on a sopranos recital disc without the Ave Maria, but it seems inappropriate for the reverse to be the case. Personally, I dont think that Caballe has anything on Mirella Freni, who is perhaps the most perfect Desdemona of her era. &lt;p&gt;I must admit to not having heard Caballes interpretations of LAltra Notte and Voi Lo Sapete. To imagine Caballe singing Santuzza really seems like a stretch to me. My favorite Santuzzas are Callas, Bumbry, and Verrett (in that order). Of course, Caballe did sing a lot of roles, and it isnt impossible that she could do justice to the aria, but I just cant imagine it, try as I might. A final selection worth mentioning is the aria from William Tell, from a supreme bel canto recording of Rossinis masterpiece.&lt;p&gt;Tracks 1-11 on the second disc are culled from her famous Puccini Arias recording, with the exception of In Questa Reggia from Turandot (a role that she would sing very late in her career, as opposed to the more familiar and suitable-for-her-voice role of Liu). What is notable is what didnt make the cut. Listeners will be deprived of her heart-wrenching, powerful interpretation of Sola, Perduta, Abbandonata, with its sinister clarinet obligato. They will also miss out on an enchanting aria from Puccinis little known and rarely staged Le Villi. This is a shame, since the original Puccini Aria disc is currently out of circulation.&lt;p&gt;The rest of disc two focuses on Bellini, in the form of I Puritani and Il Pirata. Listeners will be treated to both the polacca and the mad scene from Bellini final opera. Caballe, of course, cannot hold a candle to Joan Sutherland, who was a true coloratura soprano (Caballe was more lyrical), but she isnt bad, either, as Elvira. The Bellini role that would garner her more acclaim was Imogene from Il Pirata. This two-disc recital draws to a close with her divine reading of Imogenes mad scene. This is the stuff of operatic legend.&lt;p&gt;All in all, minor quibbles aside, this is a great introduction to those not familiar with Caballes grand art.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;REALLY GOOD !&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :6  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR SO LONG THE "PUCCINI ARIAS" ALBUM AND ITS ALMOST COMPLETE IN THIS COMPILATION.

God has shown the world how to love and given us written guidelines. Knowing what God declares about how love behaves eliminates the pain, trial, and error that we create by doing things our own way. God sets the standard for love because He is love. Through knowing Him you will no longer be Confused About Love.&lt;br&gt;Binding :Paperback&lt;br&gt;Label :Winepress Publishing&lt;br&gt;Manufacturer :Winepress Publishing&lt;br&gt;ProductGroup :Book&lt;br&gt;Studio :Winepress Publishing&lt;br&gt;Publisher :Winepress Publishing&lt;br&gt;EAN :9781579214753&lt;br&gt;Price :$9.00USD&lt;br&gt;Lowest Price :$5.00USD&lt;br&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1352756116961110879-5683862148725570199?l=confusedreginald.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/feeds/5683862148725570199/comments/default' title='ส่งความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2009/01/confused-about-love-get-revelation.html#comment-form' title='0 ความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/5683862148725570199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/5683862148725570199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2009/01/confused-about-love-get-revelation.html' title='Confused About Love?

Theres the Santana-ish majesty of Mick Taylors guitar during the extended instrumental coda to the Stones "Cant You Hear Me Knocking" Cream, Faces, and Ram Jam all messing around with Yank blues (the latter doing unmentionable things to Leadbellys "Black Betty") even Manfred Mann doing his best to sanitize Springsteen with "Blinded by the Light." But then things start getting strange. Salsa legend Willie Rosario segues inexplicably into KC &amp; the Sunshine Bands "Keep It Comin," while the postmodern lounge of J Girls gets to rub up against good ol boys Skynyrd and Tucker. By the time we come to Bob Dylans "All the Tired Horses," &lt;I&gt;Blow&lt;/I&gt; has collapsed into such an oddball grab bag that the obligatory inclusion of a contemporary label hopeful, in this case Nikka Costa, isnt the least bit jarring. Then again, incoherence is the privilege of compilation soundtracks, and theres little here to send you lunging for the skip control. &lt;I&gt;--Bill Forman&lt;/I&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rate Points :4.5&lt;br&gt;Binding :Audio CD&lt;br&gt;Label :Virgin Records Us&lt;br&gt;Manufacturer :Virgin Records Us&lt;br&gt;MPN :10044&lt;br&gt;ProductGroup :Music&lt;br&gt;Studio :Virgin Records Us&lt;br&gt;Publisher :Virgin Records Us&lt;br&gt;UPC :724381004425&lt;br&gt;EAN :0724381004425&lt;br&gt;Price :$18.98USD&lt;br&gt;Lowest Price :$10.88USD&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="relatedimg"&gt; &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51X18UzVIoL._SL75_.jpg"&gt; &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4143T-%2B6p3L._SL75_.jpg"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Great story and fabulous actors&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you were ever a Johnny Depp fan, watching Blow will "blow your mind".  He is really brilliant in this adaptation of a true story involving the rise and fall of George Jungs marijuana and cocaine empire.   To see Johnny Depp transform from a young George Jung into a demented old man still in prison is really captivating.  Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz share an attraction that is insatiable.  After watching the movie, I immediately ordered the soundtrack.  It is exceptional.

Blow is my favorite movie and I enjoyed listening to the music that goes with it. There are a few songs I didnt care for but it was totally worth buying.

If so, you are not alone: the English language is a minefield, full of words that look and sound alike but mean different things in different places.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;Whos Whose?&lt;/i&gt; is an entertaining and essential A to Z guide to the most commonly confused words in English today, with real examples of good and bad usage to make differences crystal clear. In addition to documenting these verbal confusions, it offers a sympathetic guide to the seriousness of each gaffe (the Embarassment rating), an explanation of why it happens, and some handy hints on how to avoid it in future.

Good explanations, clear examples and well written.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, it has two problems that should cost a star each:&lt;br /&gt;- The layout of the pages is quite bad. A reference book like this cannot afford this type of blunder. In all cases it is very difficult to quickly find the actual definition of the words under study. You need to read the whole thing to be able to find it.&lt;br /&gt;- Some of the pitfalls are a bit ludicrous. Do people really confuse Libertarian with Libertine? Industrial with Industrious? Livid with Lurid? Ad hoc with Ad lib? De facto with de jure? In cases like this the author just shows examples of correct usage--perhaps because it would be very difficult to find examples of incorrect usage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/CommaSenseAFundamentalGuidetoPunctuation/"&gt;Comma Sense: A Fun-damental Guide to Punctuation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheWrongWordDictionary2000MostCommonlyConfusedWords/"&gt;The Wrong Word Dictionary: 2,000 Most Commonly Confused Words&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51398T3M5AL._SL75_.jpg" style="float:left;padding:5px;width:41px;height:41px;"&gt;Even good writers sometimes find the right word elusive.

BUT...STILL A FIVE&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;So, as far as being fourteen goes, I think everyone owes it to themselves to pick up the ORIGINAL Dazed and Confused soundtrack, because it is without a doubt essential listening. If you are a fan of the first, then you will probably want this one, as a companion to the first, and a way to stretch out what comes out the boombox, while you slug a few of the  beers you stole from your parents fridge out behind the local town moon tower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dont like it as much as the first volume, and always thought that maybe the title should have been... "A little Less Dazed And Confused..." but thats only because it has less songs, and two of them are Peter Frampton songs... back to back?!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still give it five stars though. Mix it up with volume one, ...perhaps find your own copy of Sweet Emotion and Dylans Hurricane, and you can have yourself a sweet bender, maaan. Plus, this disc still learned me a nice handful of gems just like the first one did... would I have ever rocked out to the following without my Even More Dazed soundtrack?...FREE RIDE, LIVING IN THE USA, BALINESE,RIGHT PLACE WRONG TIME, Foghats MAKE LOVE TO YOU!!!(smokes!), plus the other stuff is good too.., but basically its the leftovers that didnt fit on the first disc,  and the label still couldnt clear the rights with Aerosmith or Dylan.  That shouldnt matter much though. &lt;br /&gt;I hope that theres a new crop of Freshman chicks rocking out to this stuff this summer man. You- know- I- do, man. ROCK&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Even More Dazed and Confused&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :4  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you loved the Dazed and Confused soundtrack, youll love this one too.  It contains all those songs that they couldnt fit on the first soundtrack.  Great CD.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Better Than the First!&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :4  Helpful Point :4  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;I actually like this one better than the first release.  Its a great, eclectic mix of FM radio hits from the golden age of FM radio.  (I was 15 in the summer of 1976, so maybe Im a little biased.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of these songs were part of the soundtrack of my life, played at suburban basement make-out parties and blasted from the windows of gas-guzzling old American cars.  How I wished I could have grown a mustache like the ones sported by Foghat!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Where Is Bob&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :1  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;This soundtrack is absolutly amazing...&lt;br /&gt;I just have one question abou it...&lt;br /&gt;Where is "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan?&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Another excellent soundtrack for a great movie!&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :3  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;"Dazed and Confused" is a film that unfortunately bombed at the box office when it was in theatres. Fortunately, it has since become a cult classic, and one of the definitive "party" flicks. It helped jump start the careers of the films soon-to-be stars, such as: Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, Matthew McConaughey, Rory Cochrane, Jason London, and Milla Jovovich, to name a few. I first saw "Dazed" when I was 15. I heard how great of a film it was, so of course I decided to check it out. By the end of my first viewing, I was hooked. I became obsessed with the movie, and have seen it so many times that Ive lost count, and its still fresh and hilarious with every viewing (which is rare for a film)! It has become one of my favorite movies of all time, as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, just like the films first soundtrack (simply titled "Dazed And Confused"), this soundtrack has excellent songs, but to me, the standouts are: "No More Mr. Nice Guy" by Alice Cooper (awesome hard rocker, which is excellently used in the film), "Do You Feel Like We Do?" by Peter Frampton (an awesome rocker that features the infamous "talkbox"), "I Just Want To Make Love To You" by Foghat (a cool rocker that youll want to bang your head to), and "Free Ride" by The Edgar Winter Group (definitely a song to crank while cruising with your friends). As I said in my review for the films other soundtrack, the films opening track, "Sweet Emotion" by Aerosmith, and Bob Dylans "Hurricane" are nowhere to be found on either of the films soundtracks.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/Blow2001Film/"&gt;Blow (2001 Film)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/AlmostFamous/"&gt;Almost Famous&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/DazedConfusedWidescreenFlashbackEdition/"&gt;Dazed &amp; Confused (Widescreen Flashback Edition)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/DazedAndConfused1993Film/"&gt;Dazed And Confused (1993 Film)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/515tIUyiBmL._SL75_.jpg" style="float:left;padding:5px;width:41px;height:41px;"&gt;Amazon.comTellingly, director Richard Linklatters Dazed and Confused  was released 20 years after American Grafitti and offers a similar  story of troubled young personalities lurking beneath an oversaturated  pop culture veneer.

Died in 1994 at the early age of 54, the operatic world hadnt really mourned her enough.&lt;br /&gt;People are still lingering on Maria Callas, the star soprano with all her glamour and legendary life could offer.&lt;br /&gt;Real listeners, however, could not give up the memory of Lucia Popps terrific artistry and almost supernatural voice.&lt;br /&gt;Her Rusalka, her Solveig, her Susanna, Zerlina, Despina in the da Ponte/Mozart trio, her terrific Queen of the Night (unsurpassed by ANY subsequent sopranos up till now), and ALSO her Pamina in the same opera. In any language you ask her to sing, and she excelled. I marvel at the Letter Scene in Eugene Onegin - only if Lucia had the chance to perform the whole opera during her short life! The joy, the expectation, the emotional tribulations, so vividly captured in girlish and pure timbre. No one will ever beat her not even Fleming and Netrebko.&lt;br /&gt;"Weird and wonderful" - thats what Elisabeth Schwarzkopf said of Lucia Popps singing. We today would modify it to wonderful and unsurpassable.&lt;br /&gt;This 2-CD set is an absolute must have, even if you have never heard of Lucia Popp before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lucia Popp&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a magnificent album she had a superb voice and the person who selected the songs of this album picked her "very best."&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Wonderful introduction to the art of Lucia Popp&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :2  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucia Popp was a fine soprano in her day.  Her repertoire was broad--from Grieg to Tchaikovsky to Mozart to Dvorak to Smetana to Orff to Mahler to Handel to Strauss (Richard and Johan, Jr.).  This 2 CD set shows her talents off nicely.  Some exemplars of her art:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solveigs Sing, from "Peer Gynt" by Grieg:  Hers is an affecting version. Popp had a rich voice that worked very well in this piece.  She sings this smoothly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Stetit puella" from "Carmina Burana" by Orff: Well sung.  She gives life to Orffs work.  She displays a rich voice which produces a smooth sound in this cut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mahlers 4th Symphony: The vocal part of Mahlers 4th symphony is affecting and effective.  Popp sings this well, an enchanting version in fact. She handles the vocal challenges of this work well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Voi che sapete" from Mozarts "Le Nozze di Figaro": Her rich voice fits this aria well.  Its almost weird that she can sing this so well--and then do the Queen of the Night effectively! This is an evocative piece, and she captures the character pretty well, in my judgment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Der Holle Rache" from Mozarts "Magic Flute": And now for something completely different. . . . What a change of pace!  She does a superb job in this difficult singing role she is a credible Queen of the Night.   Her staccato technique is strong she handles the difficult and treacherous passages well--and nails the high notes cleanly and crisply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what can one say after listening to this 2 CD set?  Lucia Popp had considerable talent and fine technique.  She was clearly one of the finer soprano talents of the latter part of the 20th century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lucia Popp&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :6  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a wonderful album showcasing the very best of Lucia Popp (as the title suggests).  Her voice was absolutely beautiful.  She could sing the slavic languages like no one else.  Her version of Dvoraks Song to the Moon is unbeatable.  I dare anyone to find a better performance!  Also, the song from Die Zauberflute -Ah Ich fuls (sp?) is outstanding.  Ive yet to hear a better version.  Her diction was fantastic and while she wasnt the highest soprano around - she knew what worked for her voice.  This is album is a keeper!&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Beautiful compilation (4.5 stars)&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :2  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lucia Popp came from my home country of Slovakia. In 1963, she took her chance and, as the amazingly talented 24-year-old ingenue, accepted the offer to sing in Vienna. She crossed the iron curtain. This for a long time made her and undesirable element in the Communist Czechoslovakia. Only after the collapse of Soviet block in 1989 she gained the due recognition also in her homeland. Tragically, just four years later she died of cancer, aged only 54...&lt;br /&gt;What she left is the great body of work. She specialized on German and Austrian composers, which is evident also from this great compilation. However, anything she touched, she turned into gold.&lt;br /&gt;On this double CD you can find many of her glorious recordings. Especially high recommended are all Mozarts (among them the famous Queen aria from Magic Flute) and Handels songs, unsurpassable Dvorak and Smetana, the definitive Richard Strauss 4 Last Songs and the beautiful Letter Scene from Tchaikovskys Eugene Onegin. Also here we have her famous Carmina Burana arias from 1960s.&lt;br /&gt;What is missing, though, is some more of Italian opera, represented only by one piano-accompanied Rossini. I would love to hear Lucia singing "Brindisi" from Traviata as she did to Queen Elizabeth II alongside Placido Domingo in 1986, or listen to her playing Tosca or La Boheme by Puccini. Still, a wonderful CD worth almost five complete stars.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/LuciaPopp4CDSet/"&gt;Lucia Popp (4CD Set)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofMontserratCaball/"&gt;The Very Best of Montserrat CaballÃ©&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofVictoriadelosAngeles/"&gt;The Very Best of Victoria de los Angeles&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/TheVeryBestofRenataScotto/"&gt;The Very Best of Renata Scotto&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/VeryBestof/"&gt;Very Best of&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1352756116961110879-5419615500189241909?l=confusedreginald.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/feeds/5419615500189241909/comments/default' title='ส่งความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2008/12/very-best-of-lucia-popp.html#comment-form' title='0 ความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/5419615500189241909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/5419615500189241909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2008/12/very-best-of-lucia-popp.html' title='The Very Best Of Lucia Popp'/><author><name>Reginald Briggs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14190466186509389925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352756116961110879.post-4828699851887902651</id><published>2008-12-18T02:31:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-18T02:31:31.050-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Confused Quotes About Love : A New Year With New Dreams</title><content type='html'> &lt;a href="http://dokkaew.com/finance/TermLifeInsuranceTermLifeInsuranceCanHelpYourLovedOnesInFuture/"&gt;Term Life Insurance | Term Life Insurance Can Help Your Loved Ones In Future&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; , you can save make the right choice and save a good amount of money for you.

Like Lucas before him, Linklatter clearly relishes  that gloss and wields it like an ironic chainsaw. His soundtrack is a  raucous, authentic collection of mid-70s radio fare, be it sharp-edged  pop (Sweet, the vastly underrated Rick Derringer), nascent metal  (Black Sabbath, Deep Purple) and out-and-out hard cheese (Foghat, Black  Oak Arkansas). Dazed and Confused is the &lt;/i&gt;real&lt;/i&gt; sound of  70s teenage America. &lt;I&gt;--Jerry McCulley&lt;/I&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rate Points :4.5&lt;br&gt;Binding :Audio CD&lt;br&gt;Label :Giant Records / Wea&lt;br&gt;Manufacturer :Giant Records / Wea&lt;br&gt;MPN :24533&lt;br&gt;ProductGroup :Music&lt;br&gt;Studio :Giant Records / Wea&lt;br&gt;Publisher :Giant Records / Wea&lt;br&gt;UPC :075992453325&lt;br&gt;EAN :0075992453325&lt;br&gt;Price :$13.98USD&lt;br&gt;Lowest Price :$8.68USD&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;Customer Reviews&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Flashback&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :5  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;Loved the CD.

Or was it the 1960s?  I forget. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing about those ten years that cant be obscured by cobwebs or short circuited by misfiring synapses is the music which, despite general malignment from blog-happy kids who werent even a single cell in their daddys nut sack at the time, is an endless parade of addictive melodies, guitar riffs, and vocal somersaults from men in tight satin trousers trying to be boys by flirting with teenage hearts, each one grabbier than the last. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the 1970s also gave us a lot of blow-dried twits singing witless mush about their overwhelming love blotting out everything else in life, but Ive always rationalized away their very existence as the perfect background music for the kind of person who whispers "I love you" to a one-night stand.  Some things I cant explain away are the Bee Gees cover of The Beatles "A Day in the Life," how Boston blew up enough to warrant a gig at the Pontiac Silverdome, Dan Hartman leaving the Edgar Winter Group for a career in disco, and why The Dictators werent massive.  When I snap my fingers, move on. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This soundtrack may alternately be viewed as a treasure trove of teenage-boy, air-guitar bliss, a howling vortex of everything inherently evil about corporate mainstream rock, or, in todays overcompressed, sterile, tarted-up music biz, the aural equivalent of Cro-Magnon knuckledraggers celebrating the discovery of fire.  For those who grew up with the music, its nothing more than an average 60 minutes of rock radio from 30 years back in the haze which - truth be told - we used to rail against for everything from excess advertising to excess Led Zeppelin, safe programming, and station managers who had the gall to send their laid-back DJs to MC punk gigs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although you could quibble all day about what desert island tracks should have made the cut (BTOs "You Aint Seen Nothin Yet," Golden Earrings "Radar Love," the studio version of REO Speedwagons "Ridin the Storm Out," or anything from Starz or the J. Geils Band would have all fit nicely), its hard to argue with what did, most of them working wonders over the years to quell suburban-kid anxiety. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foghats thumping "Slow Ride" sounds as if it has ODd on Sominex but slakes the thirst for a loud, simplistic, English boogie band, the heavy-metal blaze of Deep Purples "Highway Star" still burns like gonorrhea, and Sweets "Fox on the Run" may seem slightly out of its league, but stakes its claim as a bug-eyed glam anthem. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elsewhere, we get a quick taste of ZZ Top before their 80s detour into the ether as leering, synth-drunk hucksters ("Tush"), Rick Derringers turn as a hard-rock David Cassidy ("Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo"), a just-fed-with-clean-newspapers-in-his-cage Ted Nugent ("Stranglehold"), the Kiss Army patch on the albums jean jacket, "Rock and Roll All Nite," and Alice Coopers rebellious "Schools Out," which starts at punk desperation and ends at bubblegum bliss. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For better or worse, much of the Clerasil rock on display here lives on in the brawny roar and smudgy guitar distortion of a thousand nu-metal bands, the retro slouch of a backwards-leaning Kid Rock, and the cocky power stance of Buckcherry.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Adolescence is tough, especially when you dont grow out of it.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;An Excellent Soundtrack For An Excellent Film/Decade&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :4  Helpful Point :1  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;I was born in 1976, so I didnt really grow up listening to these songs.  However, many of them still get heavy airplay on classic rock stations.  Not one song on this album is bad.  Personal favorites include "Cherry Bomb" and "Tuesdays Gone."  Other solid tracks include "Low Rider," "Tush" and "Love Hurts."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If youve seen the film, you already know that it lives and dies by the music thats constantly played in it.  Much like "Swingers," "Dazed And Confused" is a very good film, but the soundtrack selection makes it great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave this album four stars because there are some key tunes missing (most notably "Hurricane," by Bob Dylan).  Also, the classic rock vibe is broken up by "Jim Dandy," which doesnt quit fit in as well as the rest of the tunes.  Its still a good song, though.  This is an excellent album, and if you enjoy classic rock or grew up listening to these tunes, Im sure youll enjoy it (and the film).  Highly recommended.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dazed and Confused soundtrack&lt;/b&gt;  &lt;br&gt;&lt;small&gt;Rating Point :4  Helpful Point :0  &lt;/small&gt;&lt;br&gt;I loved the movie and I love the soundtrack.  Contains all those songs from the 1970s that were very "feel good".  Also highly recommended is the companion CD which contains more songs that this one couldnt fit.  Recommend both of them.&lt;br&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-top:5px;padding-bottom:5px;border-bottom:1px dashed #cccccc;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="width:500px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Similar Item&lt;/b&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/Blow2001Film/"&gt;Blow (2001 Film)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/BoogieNightsMusicFromTheOriginalMotionPicture/"&gt;Boogie Nights: Music From The Original Motion Picture&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/DazedConfusedWidescreenFlashbackEdition/"&gt;Dazed &amp; Confused (Widescreen Flashback Edition)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/EvenMoreDazedAndConfused1993FilmDazedAndConfused/"&gt;Even More Dazed And Confused (1993 Film Dazed And Confused)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://store.dokkaew.com/AlmostFamous/"&gt;Almost Famous&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1352756116961110879-7232155494308126044?l=confusedreginald.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/feeds/7232155494308126044/comments/default' title='ส่งความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2008/12/dazed-and-confused-1993-film.html#comment-form' title='0 ความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/7232155494308126044'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1352756116961110879/posts/default/7232155494308126044'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://confusedreginald.blogspot.com/2008/12/dazed-and-confused-1993-film.html' title='Dazed And Confused (1993 Film)'/><author><name>Reginald Briggs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14190466186509389925</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1352756116961110879.post-116333614650362336</id><published>2008-12-17T03:16:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-17T03:16:59.406-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Confused In Spanish : Napoleon at Leipzig  Panic Among Elephants At the Hydaspes in India Alexanders Repeated Feints Confused His Foe  Fredericksburg Recalled  Spanish Civil War  Naseby  Perry on Lake Erie Military History Volume 5 Number 4 February 1989</title><content type='html'> &lt;a href="http://dokkaew.com/languages/ThinkingToLearnSpanish/"&gt;Thinking to Learn Spanish?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; ?

After changing the world with the generation-defining Slacker, director Richard Linklater turned his free-range vÃ©ritÃ© sensibility on the 1970s. As before, his all-seeing camera meanders across a landscape studded with goofy pop culture references and poignant glimpses of human nature. Only this time around, he's spreading a thick layer of nostalgia over the lens (and across the soundtrack). It's as if Fast Times at Ridgemont High was directed by Jean-Luc Godard. The story deals with a group of friends on the last day of high school, 1976. Good-natured football star Randall "Pink" Floyd navigates effortlessly between the warring worlds of jocks, stoners, wannabes, and rockers with girlfriend and new-freshman buddy in tow. Surprisingly, it's not a coming-of-age movie, but a film that dares ask the eternal, overwhelming, adolescent question, "What happens next?"  It's a little too honest to be a light comedy (representative quote: "If I ever say these were the best years of my life, remind me to kill myself.").
