(SJC) I usually don't have a brain, but just recently I realized I got into Joni at the beginning of my Freshman year (Which was 4 years ago). My sister stole (borrowed, rouged if you've visited the Gallery a lot) Court and Spark from work and it took me about 3 weeks to like it. It took many listens so I can't pinpoint exactly which first Joni song I heard. I could have sworn I heard In France They Kiss On Main Street when I was 5. But I'm frequently delirious. ANYWAY, I was really intrigued by Just Like This Train so I guess this was my first.

Does anyone out there know (nudge, nudge Wally) if the promo for "Crazy Cries" has been shipped to radio? For a 9/29 album release date, it should have been in programmers hands for a while now.

Hi list, I have a cheap used copy of MoA on hold in a used records shop, but I want to find out if it's the regular CD or the new HDCD version. So far they've told me this about it: Asylum 202-2, UPC (bar code) 0 7559-60539-2 Based on that, can someone tell me which it is? They didn't say if there is the HDCD logo anywhere, but I know that on "Court & Spark" HDCD there is no logo(?) If that's not enough information, what do I need to ask from them? And, could you also CC to my address, because I'm on digest and I need to know by Saturday morning. It's Friday morning here already... thank you, - --jussi - ----------- ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 14:17:43 +1000 From: "Russell George" Subject: TTT Radio Play Hi all, Thought you might be interested to know that we down under (Melbourne, Australia) have also been fortunate enough to get some sneek previews of TTT on a local radio station. 3RRR is a community funded station here in Melbourne and a local Joni fan (Gerald McNamara - I believe he's on this list) provided them with a copy of the album. Where he got it from they're not saying and probably don't want to know! It's certainly not a promo copy from the record company. Anyway, I share the sentiment of many others who have written about this in that I would prefer not to hear too much of the album before I get the real thing. I've heard a couple of fantastic appetisers though and along with you guys am eagerly anticipating the album's release. Cheers, Russell George Melbourne, Australia NP: The Beatles - She's Leaving Home ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Sep 98 21:38:09 -0700 From: Wally Breese Subject: Eastwood, MTV Hi everyone, In stores next Tuesday (the 15th) is "From There To Here," the debut CD from bass player Kyle Eastwood, son of actor-director Clint Eastwood. Larry Klein produced the album, with guest vocalists Julia Fordham, Diana King, and Joni Mitchell turning in a performance on one song each. Joni does a soulful version of Marvin Gaye's "Trouble Man," which is similar to the live version she did at the TV taping in Burbank or at "A Day in the Garden," but with a few inflections and lines which are different. For example, on record Joni says: "I ain't gonna let it sweat me none" instead of "I ain't gonna let it get to me." It's very cool! In the album thank you's, Eastwood says: "To Joni, for 'that voice'!" Look for the album come Tuesday...you can view the album cover at this URL: http://www.JoniMitchell.com/upcoming2.html Just now during the MTV Video Music Awards program, there was a short filmed segment with Joni talking about Janet jackson's version of "Big yellow Taxi" and how much she liked it. Shot in black and white and obviously very recently, Joni looked and sounded great!

A ha, where are an ever expanding bunch! I'm here in Melbourne too. Although I haven't heard any Joni on RRR, I was fortunate enough to have heard a small sample/promo on 3LO (don't laugh) last night... the 'reviewer' gave a short spiel about Joni and how HE saw her a few years ago etc... and then they played "Man from Mars". I am very thankful it was a song i had already heard, because I too don't want too many suprises spoilt before the twenty EIGHTH!!! I also contacted JJJ on a few occasions and requested on their website various Joni on various programs: general request, and the J Files...(if they did a J files it would mean a 3hr special on Joni, for those of you not in Australia). I also suggested they add Wally's site to their BEST WEB SITES section....hmm we'll see. Anyway, nice to hear there aren't only one or two of us here in Australia or even Melbourne to be more SPecific. bye then....hey seeing as we here are a day ahead anyway, does that mean we will get TTT TWO days before the rest!? oooooh helen. www.geocities.com/SoHo/Square/2859 ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Sep 1998 16:05:01 +1000 From: Marian Rulewski Subject: Re: TTT Radio Play You guys!
