...from the same condition that claims 440,000 other middle-aged Americans each year: heart disease. A longtime friend, Patti Austin, who duetted with the singer on "It's the Falling in Love," told CNN that Jackson rarely ate right and didn't exercise. "When you live like a hummingbird, you don't have a long life span," she said...
...interpretation of the primary colors. Unfortunately—or maybe fortunately—this is one of only a few tracks on which the lyrics are clear and audible, as most of the album’s mixing focues on instrumentation at the expense of vocals. “Hummingbird,” which was released as a single last year, appears third on the disc and is probably the best example of the punchy style in which the Ruffians do their best work. Very rarely does a single moment in one song transform a decent album into a good...

Once Of Montreal (not actually from Canada, mind you) quits the scene, the Born Ruffians are sure to do quite well.

That was Broadway teen talk back in the early '60s, when the high school kids in Bye Bye Birdie gossiped about their friends in a game of telephone tag. More than 40 years later, another band of gossipy girls is peeking out of another set of windows on a Broadway stage. How far have we advanced? Well, the kids are in a college sorority now, and the squeals of excitement--and the title of the opening song--have evolved into dumbed-down Valley-speak: Omigod You Guys...
