Brittany Murphy (1977-2009)

Its sad indeed, she was really hot and talented... This is why peeps need to not use drugs,, they land you iin jail, lose your friends and family, and eventually to the grave.. She's just a bit older than me,, She was way too young to go.... Rest In peace. Brit.....
 
Yes... I've been wanting to say a few things on Brittany that I was almost just not going to say after all.... that I will say now.

Brittany was great with her music. As a matter of fact, her song with Paul Oakenfold was probably my favorite and most played Oakenfold production. Seeing her death actually made me post an R.I.P. status on my profile for someone for the first time! And lastly, I'll just say this; My FIRST thought upon hearing about her death was "So is anybody going to play her music today?" They did with everyone else, so I only thought it was fair. I heard everyone acknowledging all her acting and other things, but not ONE mention about her music....
 
Not only that, but Aaliyah, Selena... TLC... and many others had their music played as well. I believe Celia Cruz even had her music played.... But didn't hear a thing when Brittany Murphy, or even La Bouche passed, and I know La Bouche has some recognizable hits. I don't recall hearing "set u free" or "feel the music" when Nadine Renee of Planet & Soul died, either.

I did put her video up on Facebook but then it was removed "for legal reasons".

I mean, at the very least I thought a rhythmic A/C station would have played "Faster Kill Pussycat".
 
I did notice that same video I posted was removed, too. Not exactly sure why they do that, and who determines why certain videos should or should not be posted, how they locate and find each and every video, and why they didn't realize that her video was up until that day (maybe it was the increased number of hits that brought that particular one to attention).

A little off topic, but I posted a mix on youtube and the sound was disabled because the mix contains an audio track that has not been authorized by WMG. MySpace also blocked some of my mixes because one song out of the entire 30 minutes to 45 minute mixes was protected by Sony. Not sure how it catches those songs, especially when

* the promo only song was recorded into my computer from a recordable disc playing in my cdj turntable
* the mix containing song amongst others was saved and reopened in another software program
* the mix was edited (pitch...etc) and re-saved to be opened again
* the drops were added in and then finally it's all saved as the final copy as mp3.

This only seems to happen with big tunes that everyone knows...

Anyway, I have no idea why "faster kill pussycat" never made it fully to top 40 radio. It had the right sound, style, and everything. Maybe if it were released today instead of the bad timing in which it was done, it would've received much more attention. I remember requesting it a lot every Friday night on KZZP during the Friday night mix in early 2006 and it finally got played once in a dance set (dance sets that were removed and replaced once again with hip hop mixes until about late 2006). Not sure what was going on there with their off and on dance mixes on KZZP on Friday's, as if they were experimenting or trying to make up their minds about something, where there would be times when it seemed like dance remix sets were allowed for one or two Friday's, then times when it wasn't the next for about a month or two, before completely going back to nothing but slow pop and hip hop (or anything that did not resemble house at all) every weekend. The entire time, though, it was the same DJ who produces prerecorded sets.

I kind of wish her song was released a lot later than it was in this country.
