Slimserver Search Fun vol.1: Jive

[bklaas]

The Music forum is one of the least-traveled on the SlimForums (or, for the Latin-inclined, SlimForae), perhaps because it's hard to get beyond the inevitable "my favorite band rules/your favorite band sucks" digression.

I'm going to try to breathe some life into it by introducing Slimserver Search Fun, which if it catches on I'll do every Friday or so.

The idea is simple: I give you a string, you do a slimserver search on that string and post what songs you get back from your search...

Today's entry is "Jive"

here's what I get--

Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive from Cargo by Men At Work
Jive Talkin' by Beegees
Jump Jive and Wail from n/a by Brian Setzer Orchestra
No Jive (Bassface Sascha Rellick) from No Jive CD Single by De-Phazz
No Jive (Radio Mix) from No Jive CD Single by De-Phazz
No Jive (Ripped Version) from No Jive CD Single by De-Phazz
The Shoes of the Fisherman's Wife Are Some Jive Ass Slippers from Ken Burns Jazz by Charles Mingus


how 'bout you?

Hit That Jive Jack (Diana Krall - The Best Of Diana Krall)
Ocean Jive (Sven Van Hees - Gemini)
Jive (Michael Franks - The Art Of Tea)
Jive Talkin' (Bee Gees - Nomber Ones)
That Demon Jive (An Emotional Fish - Live & Confusion)
Tired Of Your Jive (B.B. King & Billy F. Gibbons - B.B. King & Friends - 80)

But interestingly (or not) that is the method I use to get my 'evenings' playlist: do a search on two or more characters (tla, fun, clo, blu, moon, etc) and then play it - it's seems more 'random' then random!

My only result for etc was Jesus, Etc. by Wilco.

Only result for chelsea was the Leonard Cohen number.

Feeling very white, having no results for jive...
