I always wondered what became of my most beloved group of the early 90s - The Rembrandts. I still remember the ultra-picky Robert Hilburn's review ranting and raving over them around '89. If they were a cocktail, they would be one jigger of 80s pop/rock, two jiggers of Beatles, half jigger of Byrds, and a dash of the Hollies. Earlier this week I spotted that they were playing in L.A. (after about a 10 year absence) at the Mint in L.A. last night and couldn't believe my eyes. They came on and played for just a little over an hour but they packed in all their hits plus some great new songs non-stop without a break. For a band who seemed to retire a few years back, there was amazingly not one false move and the energy was fantastic. Their new material is great, especially their song "Too Late" - they didn't mention a new album, but I'll be looking for it. The last song of the encore did me in completely - a mindblowing performance of "I'm Looking Through You" - done better than the Beatles, I swear. Then more magic as I was waiting for the valet to bring my car - a guy stepped outside and bummed a cigarette from me. We started blathering on and raving about the band and then as I was about to get into my car he said, "you should come see my band sometime, too." Then he told me he was Mark Lennon of the group Venice. Geez!! I've been following their music for a bit and knew that Mark especially is constantly nabbed to lend his gorgeous voice to albums by Phil Collins, Croz and Nash and Michael Ruff, among others. I told the valet (who gave me a dirty look) to just leave the car for a bit longer and then started jumping up and down and going "ohmigod, ohmigod" in a squeaky 14 year old voice. Despite all that, he was so friendly and sweet to me. What a great guy! Venice is playing a two hour set at an AIDS benefit at the El Rey Theater on Feb. 10th. Also, Julia Fordham is appearing Valentine's Day at the Mint! Any L.A. jmdlers who may be interested in attending either of these shows, please let me know. Kakki NP: My favorite Rembrandts song dedicated tonight to Brian and Mags and to whomever else it may apply ;-) "You never know what the day will bring Another song for you to sing You never know what the day will bring You never know when the sky will fall What do we really know at all? You never know when the sky will fall Baby, I was frightened by the storm But not today Now if the rain should fall It won't worry me at all 'Cause our love will chase the clouds away" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 08:00:28 -0300 From: "Wally Kairuz" Subject: kate and chris! njc i forgot kate bennett on the 26th and chris marshall on the 28th!!!! much happiness to you too!!! wallyK ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 06:20:50 -0500 From: "Deb Messling" Subject: Unreleased songs JoniMitchell.com includes the lyrics to a number of unreleased songs that to my knowledge have never been treed, covered by others or included in a songbook.

OK, just wanted to throw this out there. have a great tuesday! - -- emily NP: "the arrangement," on MY NEW COMPUTER'S CD-ROM!!! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2001 08:54:58 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: favorite Joni images <<"Oh there must be more to living Than a mortgage and a lawn to mow.">> Thanks for sharing this one, Clark...it also looms important to me as I sing it to myself while I'm doing housework/yardwork etc. It helps me to keep a balance with it all, and in the past couple of years I've learned to live with some dust and clutter, and some leaves in the yard... It also reminds me of this 1990 interview I listened to last week where Joni is talking about Myrtle and her cleaning fetish, saying that she even vaccumed the garage! And from the gorgeous "Let the Wind Carry Me": Papa's faith is in people Mama she's always cleaning Papa brought home the sugar Mama taught me the deeper meaning Interesting lyric, that... And I knew today was going to be a good day...I reloaded the car changer with 10 new discs to play in random mode, 2 of which were FTR and TTT.

That one's a real throwback to early Jethro Tull and is Anderson at his fabulous best. Great lyrics, too.

Hello, friends. Please forgive me if this was mentioned already. I don't get a chance to completely comb the digest these days but I thought I'd mention something that just made me smile. I was reading this week's issue of Billboard and in a conversation with Boy George (see the Dance section) BB asked George "In your book, who's queen?" His reply "Joni Mitchell. Yes, Joni is queen" And for the record, I completely respect Boy George as a musician. I saw the last 2 Culture Club tours. His voice was sublime and his style brilliant. He's diverse, he takes risks and can musically run circles around today's pop stars. That's all for now.

Has it been released? If not do we have a release date? Those of us out of the loop need to know . . . In the personal side of things, I'm still here at UT/Austin, in my mind-numbing, soul-sucking job, but not for long. I'll be leaving this summer to head up to Chicago, where I'll pursue graduate work at Columbia College Chicago (www.colum.edu) in their Interdisciplinary Arts program.

I tuned in just in time to hear "Irene" and the one just before that that isn't on the CD (I didn't catch the name and wasn't sure if it was Kate at first). There's something really odd about sitting there at my computer, watching and listening to Kate singing and then the interviewer mentioning people in the chat room and hearing all these names like Mark in Seattle and Paz, and I knew who she was talking about even though I've never met any of y'all.

Speaking of E-bay (where you can buy Karaoke records out the wazoo), I just had an interesting exchange with a record store dealer...he was auctioning off a Ronnie Aldrich LP with Woodstock on it. I e-mailed him to ask if it was Joni's Woodstock, since there are a couple other ones out there. By the time he got back to me, the auction was over and he confirmed that yes, it was Joni's song that Ronnie was singing, and he had another copy of that LP which he would be willing to sell me. He also said his wife was a big Joni fan and that they saw her at Madison Square Garden on the '98 tour. Well, that's all I had to hear! I suggested that I trade him a clean CD of that show for the Ronnie Aldrich record and give it to his wife for Valentine's Day. He was pretty happy with that trade, probably thinking ahead to the night of the 14th! :~) And we picked up another cover in the process... Bob, certified E-bay addict after about a week!

I've been curious as to what else Joni does. We get to sample bits and pieces through her cover art and the occasional web page, and thus another window into her thinking is opened. I think Joni is influenced by whatever artist she happens to be studying at the time. Sometimes I see Matisse, or Diebenkorn, or the Impressionists. The ones at the malanga website are full of Hockney's influence. But does anyone else see how the technique fits with her traveler theme (picture postcard charm)?

Yes, there are a few of us Joni fans in Chicago, or at least in my case, a suburb of Chicago. Drop me a line when you get to town. I have a Joni listening party once every month or two. Currently it's just me and a lady friend, but hey, the more the merrier, so if there are any other listers in the Chicago area who would like to participate, let me know. The format changes every time we do this, but it's always just Joni. Typically, we each pick a set of three songs, trying to be as creative as possible with the match ups, and it becomes kind of a competition - who can come up with the hottest set. Last time, we had a small wrinkle in that one person would pick the album, and the other person had to pick the song. That was pretty fun. Then we always end the evening by playing one album from start to finish. Jack ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Feb 2001 14:29:52 -0500 From: "Neil E.

I don't intend to have a car in Chicago, so if your suburb is on an El line, count me in! In your game do you count covers of Joni songs as fair game?

On McCartney's most recent "Run Devil Run" CD-a collection of oldies, he does a song which is (I'm pretty sure) a Fats...It's called "My Coquette" or something like that.

The worldnet account is now history (thank God!). Last night I was no with a couple other JMDL'ers (Nikki in Philly and Mark in Seattle) to experience Kate Bennett Live. It was SO much fun. Kate (and Jeff) looked and sounded great and it was very nice of them to include us in the conversation live. Kate even played a song she wrote about Louisiana and I have officially given her the mudbug seal of approval. I think this is a great way to promote music and it would have been really cool if we would have had a bigger turn out of support for our sister, but i know how that is, I almost forgot myself. I understand there is gonna be replays of this same show, so CHECK IT OUT! My best to Kate and Jeff and also to Nikki and Mark. Maybe we can get a cyber Joni-Fest thing going sometime (whaddya say there Les?????). I tried to get the cybercast going for my Jonifest last year, but failed.

I agree with the Rev Vince, that was " one of the classiest and kindest acts she could have done", having Wally over to her home. Sometime before that, when he was still very ill, he went on tour with her for 3 weeks, and had to be given painkillers to get through it, but I remember he told me it was all worth it, just to be with her and get to know her.It was a fullfillment of a dream for him, yet bittersweet, because he knew how ill he was.But as a mother, I tried to explain to him how deep her gratitude must be, and told him that he had given her the greatest gift possible,and she would always be indebted to him. I choose to remember him as he was in a photo he sent me, standing outside Joni's mansion, years before he actually met her, looking handsome and healthy, with that great big grin of his, happy just to be near HER. Little did he know then how completley his dream would be realized...rest peacefully, my friend, you will always be alive in my heart.
