[Dixielandjazz] Enhancing Musical Sounds or How I learned to Love Electronics

Aha:

  Sounds like the DIGITAL Peggy Lee OR May West OR maybe an attempt At 
Marilyn Monroe, who cooed nicely.
can't be any worse than Pia Zadora.   And she is a lot prettier than 
Janis Joplin too.    She has most of the necessary ingredients for 
success.   NAME, MONEY, Lusty Looks, Shameless promotion, a wee bit of 
Talent, but most importantly,  "SHE IS NOT MY DAUGHTER"   I want to 
wait till she is old enough and cast her as a "Madam for the House of 
the RISING SUN MOVIE. "

 Cheers,

 Tom Wiggins ( Musical Flesh Peddler extraordinaire)

  Few of us know who Scott Storch is. FYI he produces hit music sides 
for 50
 cent, Dr Dre, and a whole bunch of others. At 32, he is rich and famous
 among the Hip Hop crowd. He has taken on a new challenge . . . that of
 producing a hit record with singer(?) Paris Hilton.

  Just goes to prove that with judicious electronic interference, you 
can make
 any singer/band/musician sound acceptable. :-) VBG.

 Also proves that sex via music still sells. :-) VBG

  Also makes me wish I was 30 again, in the music business in 
California, and
 knowing what I know now. Paris baby, et al, look out. :-) VBG

 Proof that we OKOMers should be able to "sell" our music if we make it
 relevant? (sexy and digitally enhanced) :-) VBG.

 Below snip from a NY TIMES ARTS SECTION article.

 Cheers,

 "In the coming months Mr. Storch's hitmaking ability will be put to the
  ultimate test. He spent a significant portion of last year working 
with the
  celebutante Paris Hilton on her debut album, which is scheduled for 
release
  this summer. Ms. Hilton has already proven adept at selling books, 
perfume,
  racy videotapes and hamburgers, but will she be able to push albums? 
Yes,
  the producer is betting. "I think Paris's album is going to take 
everyone by
  surprise," he said confidently. Still, walking into the project, Mr. 
Storch
  admitted, he had felt some trepidation. "I remember having a 
conversation
 with Dr. Dre, and he said: 'Scott, this is a risk. You can either have
 incredible success or big failure. But risk is good.' " He decided to
 gamble."

  "Later in the evening, at a Miami studio, he played a handful of 
tracks from
 Ms. Hilton's album. 'Jealousy' was clearly aimed at her ever-shrinking,
  ex-best-friend Nicole Ritchie. And on 'It's Like That,' destined for 
the
  clubs, Ms. Hilton, in a breathy, digitally enhanced register, can be 
heard
  cooing, "Gonna lose my clothes/You like that don't you/Let's get 
exposed/You
 know you want to."
