You need to check out 'PainFaithJoy' by (incredibly) the very same Judson Spence. It is JS doing his own thing rather than the record company's and it is FAN. TAS. TIC.

The fact that I think Judson Spence sucks has nothing to do with him being from the South. Maybe you were thinking of another Judson Spence post...if there are any others on the Web, that is.

You're being too hard on him just because he's from the south..you have some sort of vendetta ..some sort of gripe with him because of that..That's childish dude..grow-up...Hot & Sweaty is a great dance song..It happened to come along when there was a period in the industry when caucasian artists had to 'rock' to get any kind of respect..In other words, you had to tow the line..Admittedly he didn't do that, doing music that was arguably the property of the r&b charts..if not the crossover/rhythmic chart...plus he was a dude..not a chick, doing it...if it had been a chick doing the same thing it wouldn't have been a problem..Why is it that in the south..if a singer tries to break out of the norm and not do stereotypical southern music, that he has to suffer the consequences? I mean, come on...there is more out there than blues riffs, hard rock guitar, and grisled voices..i mean really..This guy has talent ...a lot of you guys just don't want to see it...

you should hear him now. He's really good. Nothing like you describe him. Listen to him on myspace.

Actually, despite how shitty that Atlantic album was, the dude is a major talent. After losing his deal, going bankrupt, and descending into alcoholism, he finally got his shit together in the late 90's and started writing some really strong material.

He's a multi instrumentalist and has put out 3 strong indie albums (painfaithjoy, I Think I Like It, Velvet Kitten Sessions), and some Christian stuff I don't really like.

While he looks and sounds like a complete pussy on that album, he's actually a very talented undropped testicle...

I've got this Judson Spence album in my "Have" list at lala.com

Since this post, maybe there's a chance I can trade it away!

Nu Shooz: awful funk pretensions masking a decent pop band

Boy Meets Girl: wretched wedding music, but my #1 guilty pleasure listening. I hide the Boy Meets Girls songs on my iPod by attributing them to "The Breeders".

Decision: Boy Meets Girl by a split decision.

Oh, please let it be Boy Meets Girl. Man oh man, did they suck.

True story: when my old DJ partner and I played "Waiting for a Star to Fall" for the first time, I heard the sax solo and said, "There's going to be an a cappella break after this." Five seconds later, boom, a cappella break. We doubled over laughing.

And thus, for the first time in at least two decades, were the relative merits of Nu Shooz vs. Boy Meets Girl debated.

Uh oh. I smell some Boy Meets Girl approaching. Or will it be Nu Shooz? (which would make me much happier. I HATE Boy Meets Girl.

Yes, but do you know WHY Judson doesn't want to get 'hot and sweaty'? That hair! Can you imagine that hair getting all frizzy and poofed up? He wouldn't be able to see anything and might bump into a drum machine or synth.
