Jamie Lynn Spears
To Whom It May Concern:

I am the Marketing & Media Director for Jamie Lynn Spears, represented by Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group. Her wiki entry incorrectly states that she lives in L.A. with her sister. That statement is inaccurate- she has been living in Nashville, Tenneseee since 2010. Can you please correct this error? For some reason I cannot edit her page. Please help!

Thank you!

Searching for this horror film..
Hey guys, I'm looking for a horror film I saw in the cinema about 4-8 years ago. It was at my local, quite small, cinema so it must have been fairly major-ish. The main characters were all pretty stereotypical american college kids, I seem to remember the opening scene taking place in the college library. The main premise is that there are some kind of creatures that can somehow come into being through radio waves (or something like that). They were vaguely transparent, they might have been ghosts or aliens or who knows what. Any ideas? Doomgaze (talk) 18:31, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

 * That's the one, thank you very much!! It was rather terrible, but the name's been bugging me. doom gaze   (talk)  01:07, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Not just a gigolo
I am trying to track down a track that contains the lines "Just a gigolo/ Everywhere I go" but is emphatically not the cheesy-crowd-pleasy Louis Prima song. The one I am looking for includes these lines only as an homage, and is somewhat higher-brow, akin to a Charles Mingus composition. Tried searching but found nothing but noise, hunches appreciated. At least, a link to one of those sites at which you can hum the song for identification! Skomorokh  23:40, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Maybe I am not understanding your question ... but wasn't that a David Lee Roth song from the 1980's?  (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 23:46, 28 March 2011 (UTC))


 * No, the track I am talking about is heavy on the horns and entirely omits the "Ain't Got Nobody" sequence central to the Prima/Roth versions. Cheers,  Skomorokh   00:04, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * "Gonna get me a "Devil Woman" to get me some dough. Uh-huh, I'm just a gigolo, everywhere I go. Can I get me some dough?" ---Sluzzelin talk  03:40, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * From the article Just_a_Gigolo_(song) (which points out that I Ain't Got Nobody is a separate song), I see a number of possible culprits. Louis Armstrong, perhaps (horns)? Thelonious Monk (higher-brow)? Edit: Sluzzelin appears to be quoting an actual Mingus song with the line in it, so ignore me. 213.122.54.179 (talk) 04:07, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * (Yes, I forgot to add the leading quotation mark. Amended now. There is no article on Mingus's "Devil Woman", so I linked to the album it first appeared on. What is sort of special about the album Oh Yeah is that Mingus, who absolutely ruled as a bass player (and composer and arranger and character in general), plays piano on the entire album while Doug Watkins is on bass. I remembered reading Don Pullen (who had played in Mingus's band for a couple of years) musing on Mingus the pianist in a Down Beat blindfold test. I found it online. After having listened to one of the tracks from Mingus Plays Piano, without receiving any further information, he comments:  "Is that Mingus? [laughs] He always thought he was a piano player. I'd see him move Jaki Byard and Mal Waldron off the bench, to show them, This is the way a piano should be played!' It wasn't very respectful.

Nailed it Sluzzelin, cheers! Skomorokh  02:19, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
