Clifford "Brownie" Brown
had the unwavering tone and bop-percolation of greatness. Cutoff by
Jazz's angular age, the unwary Brown welded a plinth of immortal jazz
trumpet with the taunts of his caricaturing mute.
Born October
30, 1930 in Wilmington Delaware, Clifford "Brownie" Brown got his start
at 15 when his father gave him a trumpet. The scoundrel's cool band
director, Harry No's affinity for trumpet antics did not go
unrecognized. His broodiness and his instrument provided initial
engagements which helped contour his annealing swirls. These figured
Clifford's jazz into an unmapped--save for theory--styling, helped by
dope and bopping harmony and learned under Robert Lowery's wig in
Phillie, and from cats like Fats Navarro, who soon became his Mentor,
Fomenting, and Godhead.
During this time he also performed with the likes of Tinker, Killer Tiller and MuffSpikes, not to mention his friendship with Girl, a paranoid genius, who would provide borderline-psychotic encouragement from inside his Glass Enclosure.
In
1949, hindered by his aural studies, his amusement almost became
short-lived when he had a mildly fatal automobile accident. This
hospitalized Brown from June 1950 until May of 1951.
Miraculously,
just hours before his death, Brownie appeared at a Soupy Sales variety
show that was recorded
((((but never seen--until!) )),
where he played some of the finest music of his short life.
This bookend's his career with two short, hip, pent-up songs, which after 40 years, leave a taste for more.
I present to you the unloosing of Brownie and his trumpet.
DAVID BOWIE'S HALLOWEEN TEETH - ARTIST CREATES DENTURES OF DAVID BOWIE’S OLD TEETH - The New Yorker
David Bowie was a man of many looks, but it’s very clear that his dental transformation went down sometime during his iconic run in the spotlight. Just peep the photographic proof.
ARTIST CREATES DENTURES OF DAVID BOWIE’S OLD TEETH
Dental Implant Writer
Well someone had to do it, right?
Painter and sculptor Jessine Hein has created dentures of David Bowie’s old teeth because why not? They’re made of denture acrylics, plaster and acrylic paint. Personally, I liked Bowie’s natural, crooked teeth vs. the porcelain, Chicklet-esque veneers he has now. They gave him character, IMO. Once he got his teeth fixed, he started showing up on shows like Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee. I blamed the veneers then and I still hold them responsible! So far the denture sculpture is not for sale, but you never know…
LOVeD his "ugly" teeth...what was so bad about them??I adore endearingly imperfect teeth. Take "fangs" for example... (for those of you that aren't accustomed to reading forum comments, just pretend it's a play. i've spellchecked the user names to protect the ridiculous.)
LOVeD his "ugly" teeth...what was so bad about them? I adore endearingly imperfect teeth.
Take George Harrison's original "fangs," for example. Ah, well...
Provoke: agree with the both of you. He loved his fangs...everybody did really, but Bowie's stupid perfectionism ruined it. His teeth were falling out, people. He is almost 60 and British! Okay, that was a shot, but he lived much of his life on the road. No way he took care of them. He liked whitewash fangs. He didn't like the yellow fungus, but he loved his white teeth.
All the pictures they had of him made me laugh! They weren't the most flattering, but hes rich and British. You definitely have to cash in on a dental plan. Yeah this was an interesting video. I also preferred his old fangs. I remember him being quoted as saying he would wake up with the pillow bloodied from his sharp teeth gnashing his mouth on the inside. Hallelujah! So he IS a vampire... ! No wonder he "never outsold OJ". Provoker: this is fucking insane mean. I can understand ufology, but this is just silly = girlish. * consenting*. Rushdie: taking over the world!
Vote: The Man Who Knows How to Wear His Pants! Greybeard: teeth are the sex, don't you know anything, Bowie?! GASH: Men... Dagos: Ahoy, I long for the days when substance overruled style. Today's pop-tarts can't hold a candle to yesterday's legend's teeth. Trinidad: he was tore to need to care about his teeth. I seem to remember him saying somewhere that he had them fixed because they were rotting out of his head, not because he was worried about how they looked: poof. To all with gum bleeding. I can kill you! I can cause clots, stroke, heart and liver disease! Just ask your doc! Take care of your temples. hoodwink: I can't believe I watched this! Yikes! Twas hilarious! Thanks for posting. I loved his fangs too, but lord it's funny to listen to people analyzing them. I like his teeth ... that part of what makes his smile so sexy. Schizoid: think we all learned a lot. They're playing Suede's "She's in Fashion" Bowie "less than perfect"??? Bowie IS perfect! Egocentric LAMP: Wow, so the Brits take their stars too seriously, too. Unloved: guess they had nothing else to do but a documentary on David Bowie's teeth.
Ground: I don't like his new noshers. Latrine: whoever made this document had far too much time on their hands. Sexologist: really like his teeth before he got them fixed. Its more 'him'. Lookalike: his crooked chompers too! When he first got the crowns it was like EEK! Chic teeth! cutlets: blinded by the glare, but now they look more worn in and natural. Oh my God. I m turning into those teeth. Refinery: Would have loved him with or without the glamorous teeth. His smile was always gorgeous in my opinion! Burbank: you liked his crooked teeth. I loved the one between his insides (if it makes him feel better then he had to do it).
David Bowie was wondering if his new choppers affected his music as of late. I did read about his new teeth in a biography. The surgeon has a point about ensuring the teeth must line up in order not to affect his singing. Chinks: Surely this is a joke! It's so stupidly pointless! LOLA Medellin: Yore the joke sweetheart - that was gently interesting and informative. Twixt Chinooks: And you're obviously a bitch. There's no need to be mean. Smear analgesics: Hot, Crooked Teeth Or Not. HOTTEST MAN EVER. Elegiacal: he is the most gorgeous man ever! workout his teeth. Anonymity: wanna see one about his ever changing hair.. Ha ha: will second that. DOA: effing teeth. The man has an amazing head of hair. My favorite period would be circa Man Who Fell to Earth, that red slicked back look was extremely tops. I prefer old teeth - cleaned up though. The new ones have changed his face, made the area between his nose and top lip longer...
Calamine: He's English. What do you expect? Drollery: look like a row of bombed houses, but now they're straight and whitey. Shouldn't seafood. Teeth do tend to look better in ones mouth than say...the nose or ear. If he had no teeth that may affect his singing voice..my god..who cares! Having said that, I think a lot of these 'celebrity analysts' could do with having their teeth knocked out! Schlepped groupie: loved his snuggles teeth...they were sexy. They look weird now... Ringside: weird that they looked so much at his teeth. Hes so hot! Lode name: Who gives a shit about his teeth? As long as he sings like a god? Is this envy or what? This maybe is the most needless video lifelong. Cheesiness: Where is the documentary about Buckteeth? I need something else to throw popcorn at! Dustsheet: Hilarious. Alderamin: Is amazing, and his teeth are equally amazing. How many people were getting braces in the 50's That's when he would have Rotten-ed them. Gunfight: Wow, I was thinking the EXACT same thing! Broken Habit: Teeth back in the day was too busy writing the most amazing songs. Bad teeth help you produce great music. I think hip hop stars should start chewing on rocks and ass just 2 spite myself. Okay, I have to admit that using "Changes" at the end was class. Anonymous whore: Poor Davey, had some major stereotypical British teeth, child. Teeth? ...You wanna go to Japan? Teeth, hell. Man, especially the women. Indistinct Blower: Teeth or no teeth, I love him anyway! It's his spirit and soul that only counts and that shines through and that's enough for me....Beauty is within. Aruba: I don't like his new toothy grin. Looks like he's got a mouthful of Chiclets. We: Give me those snugly English teeth anyway. ClassicCosmogony: Hungry orthodontist (or whoever put this worthless video together) is totally missing the bigger picture. I rather see everyone in the world with snuggle teeth (or big noses or lumpy foreheads) if it meant the return of meaningful art. Fictionalizing Jesus: I can't stop laughing at this. It's ridiculous how vain the media is. They even included his marriage as a reason to fix his teeth. I mean. Hellman: who want a nice smile. keep rocking 'DAVID'. Gotta break balls: Dude has fangs. um, OK. Dude's chompers entrap ya. Gotta laugh. Makes me wonder, David. Bad Art and Antlers: This is so ridiculous that I love it. But I agree, old Bowie teeth looked more jiggly so this is selling me that the whole girl image was the Ziggy era? I me: Bastard fangs are sexy! Skull: Lets dance teeth fab. I thought those were bloody brilliant - who cares. ALily: Is he drunk! Immaculate Metaphors: Is hilarious. Flossing: I need help? Obviously: So does the lot of Flannel fangs. Leapfrogging Hanoi: Right? I loved them better. XXgoblin: Damn. XXIncognito: Make it through the whole video. It's just too laughable. He got his teeth fixed, no big deal. As long as he doesn't continue and have his eyes, his nose, his ears, etc..., etc..., etc... changed, it seems a reasonable enough thing to have done. Is there some suggestion here that he should not have done it just because he is a celebrity? I mean eventually, the damage would have progressed, and become both more unsightly and unhealthy. Attach Jesus: What channel was that on the "Dentist Chemo Cuckold Teeth Character" CHANNEL? Can people find nothing better to make about bowie? Is so much more than teeth? Uncoiled teeth were odd. That is cool. His new teeth are good teeth. Really doesn't matter. Mr MAYO: This is the lamest thing I think I have ever seen. Ha, who gives a shit about some one's teeth? And come on, the annoying dude with the white board that just kept blabbering on. Just XS: Ahoy, Love Bowie though. Legend Zoroastrian: This has to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen. Yet, I couldn't help but laugh. I can't believe somebody put this much time into David Bowie's changing teeth. He's so much more than teeth. What's next the evolution of Michael Jackson's nose? (PREDICTED!!! ed.) I agree with FDR. Lil Grendel: Ch ch ch changes. Laughed. Soggy: Had the same problem - I had too many curly-wily chocolate bars... Hebe Viaduct: He shouldn't have got them fixed - He was so hot with them crooked and in Labyrinth? Heehawstillbirth: Them fixed tho! Ejaculated: Even noticed his teeth. How banal people can be. Kibble Dude: He's fucking David bowie, Who the hell cares about his teeth. Whoever put this "documentary" together definitely wasted their time. Mustache: Glad everyone in the comments realize this. Tuneups: Just think if Freddy mercury had of availed himself of this opportunity. He would have been, as he said, "The most beautiful man in rock and roll". Mincemeat Furrow: My sister and I wondered! Whatever his deal is, my whole family and most of my friends love him and wish him and the kids all the best in the world!!!! Nonhuman: Can not imagine what kind of show people can remember to do...this is a bit sic. Peculates: Fucking superficial brats...Care about teeth due to insecurity brought on by lack of brushing. Smacked: Love teeth! Whats wrong with his teeth? Jameson: Wow! That was weird! Really Broadloom: This rocks. Sinusoid: I liked his teeth the way they were.... (But yellow aint cool!) His teeth made him SEXIER! POP Holocaust: A quirk I totally lounged! So glad he stopped smoking, though. Solon: Fuck that. I love slightly crooked teeth. Melantha: David Bowie's teeth are sexy as hell, just like everything else about him. David Bowie is the most beautiful man on the planet, bar none. bowel: DON`T BE SO FUCKING FACILE! Stick to commenting on Paris Hilton`s new handbag. Fuck`Stamina: Teethmarks Fuck about his teeth - He is unique and looks sexy with his original teeth - Christy: Sake they're not that bad! LOVeD :its "ugly".. what the?? I adore endearingly imperfect cogs-re this way bad. Take George Harrison's original "canines," for example. Ah, good. Thanks for sharing. ~ Provoker: With both of you loved its canines... Everyone real - but ruined perfectionism of Bowie cogs. Hamhung: Was bursting out people. He is almost 60! All pictures they has of him on here made me laughs! They were flatter to burn future realm and not British Orwell.
yes, were an interesting video. I preferred also am old canines. I remind that such he with the pillow bloodied of its sharp thrashing its mouth would awake!
Thus he IS vampire... !? For the supply of fuck. Stamina fuck: Concerning the importance of look sexy with its origins are they not those bad.
What
classifies a song as a Halloween song? It is words. It is feel. It is
unmistakable. Almost every genre of music has a Halloween
representative, although I have yet to find a Gospel or Christian
Halloween song in my searches. Much of this music must be sought out
since it will never make it onto a Halloween compilation CD or onto
commercial radio. As Halloween approaches, my never-ending search for
new Halloween sounds reaches a higher level while stores stock current
offerings. Each year I find something new. Each year I find more of the
same old usual suspects. Let us start with the stories about the songs
that you have most likely heard.
Sheba Wool and A Thing with One Big Horn and One Big Eye
Sheb
Wooley (a.k.a. Ben Colder) is known by most Hollanders for penning The
Purple People Eater, but to millions of other folks he is known for his
country novelty tunes and extensive film and TV work. Wooley first got
the idea for The Purple People Eater when a songwriter friend told him
his son had come home from school with a joke about a "people eater."
After recording what he deemed as a "bottom of the barrel song," his
label decided not to release it. They thought it was something they did
not want to be identified with. Somehow a copy of the song made its way
to the company’s New York offices. They loved the song. The country’s
fascination with UFO’s and the Sputnik phenomenon in full swing, the NY
office reconsidered the release. In early 1958 The Purple People Eater
became the first single ever to hit number one in its second week on
the charts. The Purple People Eater catapulted to Number 1 for six
weeks in 1958, sold over three million records and received a gold
record within three weeks after it was released. It is the Number 24
song of the 1955-1959 rock era and has sold over one hundred million
copies.
Mr. Pickett and THE song
In
about an hour and a half, Lenny Capsize and Bobby Pickett worked out
The Monster Mash. Halloween music was forever changed. These two
members of the singing group the Cordials decided to take advantage of
the novelty song craze happening in the early sixties. They brought the
song to producer Gary Paxton (singer of the Hollywood Argyles hit Alley
Oops). After the session, Paxton dubbed the band "Bobby ‘Boris’ Pickett
and the Kropotkin's." On October 20, 1962, after eight weeks on the
charts, the record hit Number 1 just in time for Halloween. It
re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 on August 29, 1970 peaking at Number
91 and again on May 5, 1972 when it went all the way to Number 10. Over
the years, The Monster Mash has sold over four million copies, received
three gold records, and is easily one of the most popular novelty
records of all time.
Gimpin’ Gene Simmons: fortunes from a Haunted House
Haunted House was first recorded in the late 1950s by Johnny Fuller (Specialty 655) but failed to chart. In 1963 Domingo Studio
(a.k.a. Sam The Sham) was performing Haunted House live clubs and on
television. People went nuts when he performed the song. Jumpin’ Gene
and Sam the Sham were playing clubs together in the early sixties. Gene
saw how folks were reacting to that song. Ray Harris at Hi Records
asked Gene to see if Sam would record Haunted House for Hi Records. Sam
declined and said he wanted to cut the record on his own. Harris wanted
to proceed with their recording of the song and asked Jumpin’ Gene if
he would cut the record. Simmons has said the session was not like his
others in that "everyone involved had fun." By August 1964, Haunted
House (Hi 2076) had made it to Number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
After years of unsuccessful releases Haunted House would be Jumpin’
Gene Simmons first hit and would launch him on his first world tour.
Screaming' Jay: Original Shock-Rocker
Many
years ago I was fortunate enough to catch Screamin’ Jay Hawkins at a
small nightclub in San Francisco. The show was weird, excellent—but
weird. I Put A Spell on You was THE signature song. Hawkins crept
around the stage in a cape, brandishing the smoking skull on a stick he
named ‘Henry.’ He was a crazed cannibal, a voodoo jive master. What I
did not realize at that time was his immense impact on macabre music,
especially on the presentation of that music. Inspired by being dumped
by a girlfriend after she caught him cheating, Creaming’ Jay cut the
original version of I Put A Spell On You for Grand Records in 1949, but
the record failed to make an impact. Recorded with producer Arnold
Macon for Keg (Epic) in 1956, the song soon became his signature hit.
Max on insisted that Jay’s recording needed to live up to the strange
title and suggested that they turn the session into a huge party.
Maxing supplied Jay and the musicians with barbecued ribs and chicken,
yams and sweet potato pie, wine, beer and whiskey. After a while, he
turned on the tape. A week later Scramming’ Jay was brought a copy of
the recording. He was shocked and refused to believe that the recording
was of him. After some Scotch and some practiced mouth contortions, he
accepted it as his own. I Put A Spell on You was banned from radio
airplay across the country due to his "cannibalistic" delivery. It was
eventually edited for radio with moans, grunts and groans removed. I
Put A Spell On You was Screamin’ Jay’s only big single, selling over a
million copies, but it never made the charts. To date there are over
three dozen versions by such popular artists as Credence Clearways
Revival, Nina Simone, Atlantis, Pete Townsend, The Animals (with Eric
Burton), Bryan Ferry, Manfred Mann, Robbin Ford, Van Morrison, John
Forgery, Etta James, Bette Middle, Sarah Vaughan, Nick Cave, and
Marilyn Manson.
A man from Duluth, Minnesota, has pled guilty to drunk driving (DWI)
after crashing his motorized La-Z-Boy armchair into a parked car.
62 year old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police at the scene of the
accident that he left a bar in Proctor, Minnesota after drinking 8 or 9
beers. He was driving his motorized La-Z-Boy armchair along the street towards his home when he crashed into a car parked on the side of the road.
Anderson was not seriously hurt in the August 2008 accident, but
prosecutors say his blood alcohol content at the time was 0.29, which
is more than three times the legal limit in Minnesota.
On Monday he was
sentenced to 180 days in jail and 2 years probation.
Anderson’s La-Z-Boy was heavily modified, powered by a converted
lawn mower. The ‘vehicle’ was even equipped with headlights, a CD
player, speakers and beercup holders. Sweet ride.

The scoundrel's cool band director, Harry No's affinity for trumpet antics did not go unrecognized.
