Today I ran across an interesting perspective on Dog Eat Dog by the music critic for the Rocky Mountain News, one Mark Brown. He wrote a column lamenting how great music sometimes ends up in music store discount bins selling for peanuts. To wit: <<...Often the bins are so full because the record companies had such high hopes. The $1.99 Joni Mitchell CD was actually one of a bunch of cutouts, brand-new and unopened, enthusiastically pressed in large quantities by Geffen Records in 1986 when the label realized Mitchell had hit another artistic height. But sadly, no one listened. So here they are - a bunch of overlooked works of brilliance, all of which you can easily pick up for $5 or less in used CD bins. When you're looking around for something to buy, give one of these a shot. You can always sell it back. * Joni Mitchell, Dog Eat Dog: Her surprisingly accessible 1986 epic is worth full price just for the exquisite title track, chronicling the rise of the dirtball nation and, as she sings, "the land of snap decisions, the land of short attention spans" and "whitewashed hawks who peddle hate and call it love." Her take on society, justice, the media and more seems all the more prophetic when you realize it was written before O.J., before Survivor, before Dubya...>> He makes an excellent point, I think. DED has turned out to manifest more of Joni's gift for prophecy. I think of the way she wrote "Woodstock" as an early example of that phenomenon. Many of her songs have a touch of that magic. Those images from DED seem to be spot on in terms of what's going on these days. DED has got to be Joni's most underrated disc, don't ya'll agree? - -Julius np: Rainman, the movie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 08:13:11 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: more on Emmylou on Letterman (NJC) <> Julius, help me out...I had read in the paper earlier that in a case of life imitating art, record stores have reported customers asking for music by the Soggy Bottom Boys, and being told that it is not a real group.

That's > good karma. [...] I recently picked up a HDCD version of Song to a Seagull, and compared it to my original CD (purchased a few years ago). I could not tell any difference. I will admit that the high-end frequency response of my 58-year-old ears is not very good, but I'm normally pretty fussy about sound reproduction and can pick out noise and distortion well. I don't know how anyone abides MP3's, for example. The few I've downloaded off the 'net sounded horrible. One other point, besides the remastering issues: to get the benefits of HDCD playback, you have to have CD player that incorporates a special chip to decode it. They seem to be quite rare, according to the list on the chip maker's website. I've never seen (or heard) one. Bottom line for me is that while replacing Joni vinyl with new HDCD's may be warranted, replacing your original CD's is not.

I was lonely for the list. Now that I don't have a desk job, goal number one is to actually make it to a JoniFest somewhere. Happy Ash Wednesday everyone. Anybody giving up anything good for Lent? I have decided to give up anger, worry, desolation, panic and insecurity for Lent. I'll save the smoking, drinking, gluttony and other vices for next year! Wally, I think you might be joking about Mueller's "Welcome to Puerto Vallarta" tattoo. But, with this list, I can't be too sure. By the way, even though I started the thread, I don't have a tattoo because I haven't found one I could live with all my life. People change but tattoos don't. It would be just my luck to get one of those lovely Celtic knots, only to wake up the next day and find I've suddenly turned from being Irish to Hispanic or Polynesian or something, and the tattoo wouldn't be appropriate any more. I've always been the one to buy the last available Sony Betamax, the very last Jeep Comanche in production, and the modern 486 computer the day before Pentiums were introduced. It would probably apply to my buying a tattoo, too. (Anybody want to buy a brand new 8-track car stereo system still in the box?) As my hairline recedes, I may have strawberry blond hair patterns tattooed over the bald spots, though. At least I'll look younger on stage. I have a young biker thug friend who has about 40 tattoos -- mostly jungle animals in the back and skulls in the front. His back looks like a center page spread from National Geographic. He likes to take off his shirt and show them off, naturally. I find them fascinating, and I swear the gorilla winks at me from time to time. He has nothing but skulls on his chest and arms because one of his favorite hobbies is beating people up outside bars, and he uses the tattoos to shake them up emotionally while he's punching them about the face and head. (And everyone thinks tattoos are just decorative!) Michael, Sorry I didn't make it to Mardi Gras, although I could probably say I was there and you wouldn't remember anyway -- I hear that happens in New Orleans this time of year. I hope by now your head has stopped spinning and you no longer see green, purple and yellow breasts every time you close your eyes.

Being the nosy person that I am (look I can't help it) I gleaned that she seemed to be looking for a particular track on an album and was amazed that there were so many - so I asked. She replied that it was a song about not needing a piece of paper . . . . My hand shot straight to Blue, and I said "My Old Man" is the track you want. The two staff members looked suitably impressed, and the young lady in question said "Thank you *so* much, I love you" (I'll pass out the airline barf bags in a moment). As a consequence, I just had to buy two of the three albums that I do not possess (S&L & MOA) the other that I don't have is "Misses".

Starbucks head office has crumbled, 19 people injured, 4 critical, balance not bad. SeaTac Airport is closed- there may be some damage to the Tower. Last time a quake of this magnitude hit the Pacific Northwest was in 1949!

Mark, check in with us if you can to > let us know you're all right. I just got home from work. I'm still fighting a funky virus so I only worked half a day today. I can't add much to what Travis reported. It was pretty scary on the sixth floor of my building on the Seattle waterfront. We were rockin' & rollin' for several minutes. I found out just how cramped the space under my desk is but I managed to fit into it. A couple of large file cabinets toppled over on my floor. They herded us outside after the quake was over until they could check the building to make sure it was safe. Luckily it's a fairly new office building so it's built to withstand earthquakes. Latest reports are 7.0. Epicenter was about 15 miles northeast of Olympia Washington which is south of us. Epicenter was about 30 miles deep so we were probably lucky in that respect. Sea-Tac airport is closed. Most of the damage seems to be in the Olympia area. Catherine T., Neil and whoever else is in the Puget Sound area, let us hear from you. Penny, did you feel it down in Vancouver? Thanks to all for your concern. We're fine, not so much as a picture down from the walls or a book toppled from a shelf. Everything in our household seems intact, although it was a pretty frightening experience.

A news anchor said 7.2 but another report says 6.2. It's now been graded 6.8. The good news is that it was centered about 30 miles below the earth's surface. Experts are saying that if it had started closer to the surface, the damage would have been much worse. Several roads have been damaged and many bridges are closed pending inspection. One report has 30 people stuck at the top of the Space Needle; it seems they are not allowed to use the elevator until it has been checked out. A co-worker said he'd call for a helicopter to lift him the hell out of there. I said, "if you want ME I'll be in the bar where I'll demand they "comp" me and keep 'em coming!" :-) So far there have been about 30 injuries reported, about half a dozen deemed "serious." No deaths reported yet. Most schools have been evacuated and many businesses sent employees home early. Governor Gary Locke said preliminary damage estimates run into the billions of dollars. Many buildings in the Seattle area sustained damage running from crumbled walls to collapsed roofs. There have been several landslides and mudslides in the area surrounding Olympia, about 50 miles south of Seattle. From my location on the Olympic Peninsula, about 70 miles west/northwest of Seattle, it was much less hairy. This was a "shaker" as opposed to a "roller." I felt everything moving and looked outside to see a large (parked) semi-truck rocking back and forth with what I'd call "moderate violence." We have a few scattered power outages and the phone lines are jammed but it's pretty much back to normal already. For years we have been warned that the "big one" could hit anytime...I just hope that this was *it* and anything from here on out will be smaller.

They distract me. I miss so much of what is going on the screen. Also subtitles are not usaully what is actually said either but a cut back version-like the subtitles for the deaf and blind. I am not sure I agree about reading not having as much impact. Somes books have made me breath hard, and react physically with a jolt. I remmeber the firsat book I evr read when i was about 6-The Mountain Of Adventure. it thrilled me. In The Circus of Adventure, when the King died, I could actually hear the bells! I still read a lot(have just finished all the Harry Potter books-blimey children certainly seem to like girsly bits in their books nowadays!) As for film leaving their mark, i agree. there are some scenes oin various films I wish I had never seen. I was taken as a very young child, about 8, to see The Breen Berets. I have never forgotten it and have not seen it since.. I would not have taken a child to see this. I saw The Music Lovers at 10 and various executions etc as a child, tho any film with sexual content or subject was forbidden!(they obviously weren't expectin Glenda to flash her tits in The Music Lovers) - -- bw colin colin@tantra.fsbusiness.co.uk http://www.geocities.com/tantra_apso/index.html ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2001 23:45:10 +0000 From: catman Subject: least favourite Joni Ray's dad's cadillac really gets up my nose.

That is such good news - here in SoCal they are always just a few miles deep and that causes much more devastation. Also heard a report that aftershocks were unlikely or would only be mild because of the 30 miles depth. >One report has 30 people stuck at the top of the Space >Needle; it seems they are not allowed to use the >elevator until it has been checked out.

The air began to switch - the house to pitch and suddenly the hinges started to unhitch. Oh, wait a minute . . . (Tho that IS what my creaky house sounded like during this morning's mayhem). Hooray, my power is finally back on! Thought I'd check in and say thanks for the kind concern for us NW listers and give my take on the Rattle in Seattle. Which is: Yikes!!!!!! I've been in some small quakes and not been especially frightened, but this one shook really really hard for a long time (nearly a minute) and scared the you know what out of me. My daughter was having a great time playing with Legos in her upstairs bedroom, riding the swaying houseboat, till her freaked out mama showed up at her door screaming to get downstairs and under the table. That seemed to sober her up sufficiently. I am amazed that there has been so little damage, considering this was a 7.0. My parents felt the quake down in the Columbia River Gorge, and my best friend's parents felt it in Boise. Very little damage in my vicinity, except for the inconvenience of losing power and phone service for several hours. Which is to say were really fortunate and blessed. Hope the rest of the Seattle crew are ok--Neil? Emmy? An interesting irony: For weeks my husband, Tom,.has been loudly fretting about his computer set up. "What if there's an earthquake? Is my monitor going to jump off the desk?" Finally, last night, in a somewhat less than nice way, I told him "Do you know how slim the chances are of your computer being destroyed in an earthquake? Can you just leave this alone and stop the earthquake talk?" These words from my lips less than 18 hours ago. Gotta go now. I have a rather large plate of crow to prepare.

I've been hesitant to stay here because of the rain, but I've discovered a little bungalow that I've fallen in love with in Studio City. Has anyone heard the new Duncan Sheik CD, Phantom Moon? He is covering Court and Spark on the Joni Tribute CD, and this new work of his is gorgeous. Just thought I'd pass that along. Can't wait for a sunny day when I can fulfill a dream of driving down PCH at sunset with Help Me blaring on the car stereo.
