It’s worth noting the album version of “Borderline” is a full 1:20 longer than this version, which forsakes several “keep pushing me’s” to the ultimate detriment of the song, IMHO.

Madonna’s Holiday: Who’s that dude in the background?
Part of an ongoing series of tributes to Michigan’s own Madonna, who enters the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame March 10.
Madonna’s third single off of her self-titled 1983 debut was “Holiday,” which would go on to become a standard in her catalogue. But the video was such a disaster it was never officially released.
This clip finds Madonna and two background dancers — one of whom looks like Chris Parnell — dancing in front of a wall, where an Ebenezer Scrooge lookalike is taking a nap. she briefly wakes up in the middle of the clip and then returns to his slumber, and it’s unclear whether or not she knows he’s in a music video.
This video was a step back for Madonna after the pseudo high art of “Burning Up.” But it would be the last time a video of hers would land with such a resounding thud, because “Borderline” was just around the corner.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — More Reader Reax
Here’s one You forgot, one of my favorites too: “My most glaring omission is Daryl Hall and John Oates,” wrote Lamont Corbin of Detroit. “They are the highest selling duo in history and many groups with far less credentials are in the hall.”
Matt Fasang wrote in: “If you have Genesis and Yes based on sales and popularity you gotta have….sit down….Journey and ELO. Iggy Pop should have been one of the first in.”

I have been able to identify the Bushtit since early in my bird watching life, but this was the first chance I had ever had to observe them at length. As one chanced to fly in or another to fly out, I was most taken with the observation that their flight is like no other bird I know. In the first book of his History of Animals, Aristotle wrote “Of land animals some are furnished with wings, such as birds and bees, and these are so furnished in different ways one from another.” I have long pondered Aristotle’s work on classification, and this passage ce to mind while watching the Bushtits. Although he had never seen them, his association of birds and bees for this exple is most appropriate to these little birds. Their flight is more like that of a bee than another type of bird. Toyota Picnic Toyota Prado Toyota Prerunner When a Bushtit takes to the air, it does not do so with quite the mastery of the element as a hummingbird, for whom the law of gravity is a mere suggestion, yet it does so with more grace and less apparent effort than other birds who seem initially to force themselves free of the terrestrial force seeking to pull them downward. The Bushtit gently arises from the place where it perched as does a bee, seeming to be of slightly less than sufficient mass for the entire force of gravity to effect. It then momentarily hovers and with a slight initial sideways motion proceeds forward to its desired destination. The entire effect is one just beyond the appearance of reality.

CONTOUR-SHAPE - in general, most good reeds wind up having the same thickness, contour and shape (i.e. with respect to a single mouthpiece)
9) CURING, MAINTENANCE, PRESERVATION - In the opinion of the author, the following procedures are imperative for preparing good reeds…

Dave Houser ece world are Stainless Steel and Titanium. They are relatively rare, being produced by very few manufacturers. Stainless Steel and Titanium mouthpieces hold many advantages to the classic brass mouthpiece, including much more density (meaning a much more centered feel and sound, as Stainless Steel and Titanium do not absorb as many vibrations as brass), they require much less care, etc. but they are much more expensive (Titanium mouthpieces run up to about $400 each).
Mouthpiece usually refers to the part of an object which comes near or in contact with one’s mouth during use, such as the mouthpiece of a smoking pipe, telephone or musical instrument.

Kynologer og forskere har ment at riesenschnauzeren er et resultat av krysninger mellom den opprinnelige schnauzeren (også kalt standard schnauzer og mellom schnauzer), bouvier des flandres og grand danois. Trolig oppsto rasen på slutten av 1800-tallet i området Württemberg i Tyskland, der de ble brukt som stallhunder. Norsk Schnauzer Klubb ble stiftet i 1946, og var da spesialklubb for Schnauzere, samt Bouvier des Flandres. Riesen I 1979 ble Dvergpinscher-, og Mellompinscher klubbene en del av klubben, og navnet ble endret til Norsk Schnauzer Pinscher Bouvier Klubb, heretter referert til som NSPBK. Vi har begge en genuin interesse for hund. Rasene Terveuren og Riesenschnauzer har vært en del av vårt liv mange år, og vi er aktive innen hundesporten. Lydighet, redningshund og bruks er blant våre viktigste interesseområder, og medfører en rekke kurs i inn- og utland både som instruktører og deltagere. Dette har gitt oss mange verdifulle kontakter innenfor hundesporten og rasemiljøet. Vi har begge vært førere av redningshunder og er fremdeles aktive innen dette. Vi har begge blant annet vært med i forskjellige landskamper innen hundesport. Jeg fikk i dag en virkelig glad-meldingen om at jeg får den ære å overta Riesenschnauzer-tispa Foxy, (sort)Ser virkelig frem til å møte/hente henne i Trondheim på søndag hos Trine Madsen/Atle Rånes ,som driver Kennel Yapyard. Det skal bli godt å få en Riesenschnauzer i huset igjen. Riesenschnauzer er en typisk brukshund på alle måter, og som sådan er den mye benyttet som kløvhund og trekkhund. Den blir ofte benyttet som tjenestehund, både hos politiet og i forsvaret.
