Haven't been there yet, but it is often written and raved about in LA. Forgot to mention that Culver City is also the home of the Jazz Bakery, which was recently ranked in the top 10 of jazz venues in the U.S. You'r partner's dad has a good job - the town has been doing a lot of redevelopment in recent years. I was remarking to a list friend that one of the reasons it has become an attractive and desirable place to live in recent years is because it has retained so much of its original small town charm in the midst of the big city and there has been a great deal of restoration and enhancement of the older architecture there. It's very village-like. Kakki ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 11:07:39 +0100 From: "William" Subject: First Albums Kate asked; <> Got me thinking about some and remembered "Whatever's For Us" by Joan Armatrading. Seriously good debut. Haven't heard it in maybe 20 years + and dunno if I even have it anymore. Must check it out. From the Internet; Armatrading used some of Elton John's brain trust, and especially when she plays piano, the resulting sound is not unlike an early John album such as Tumbleweed Connection. Whatever's For Us is a promising debut that, nevertheless, does not include any material that has proven to be memorable. (There goes my opinion) Obligatory Joni content Similar artists to Joni; Tim Buckley; Jaco Pastorius; Neil Young; Jesse Wichester; Suzanne Vega; James Taylor; Layra Nyro; Lyle Lovett; CSN&Y; Shawn Colvin; Jackson Browne; JOAN ARMATRADING; Jane Siberry; Rickie Lee Jones; Judy Collins; Tom Waits; Patti Smith; Bonnie Raitt; Luka Bloom; Liz Phair; Tori Amos Willy the Shake ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 05:28:30 EST From: JRMCo1@aol.com Subject: Joni in Fiction again This showed up on Salon.com. Cute. - -Julius My prom date, the spy - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Lisa Zeidner | It must have been 1970, 1971. My copy of Joni Mitchell's "Blue" was already badly scratched, the navy of the album cover faded into a pretty patina. If I'm not even sure of the year, I certainly can't be expected to remember his name, which wasn't anything obvious: Misha, Boris. Whenever I tried to pronounce it, I was sternly corrected. I remember absolutely nothing about his face or body, although I can safely assume that he was, like all of my subsequent boyfriends, tall and thin. He wore a strong adult aftershave, which I found both repellent and sort of interesting. To make out with him was to be surrounded, almost visibly, by a mushroom- (or chef's-hat-) shaped cloud of this aftershave. He was very serious, with good posture and impeccable manners. He was always careful to tip gas station attendants a neatly folded dollar. "Thank you so much. I appreciate your service," he would say, bowing slightly and rolling those Transylvanian R's. His father had instructed him in this American gratuity custom. I told him that, to the best of my knowledge, no one in the history of Silver Spring, Md., had ever tipped a gas station attendant, but it was clear that he didn't value my input as a cultural insider. His parents were both journalists who had traveled around the world; I was a bureaucrat's daughter with a set of Encyclopaedia Britannicas that were outdated before we even unpacked them. "Journalists," my father said. "Sure. 'Journalists.' They're spies, you imbecile. Spies!" I thought this was enormously funny. "The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!" I would squeal, running away and flapping my arms as if I were on fire. This much I knew about the world in 1970: My father was a jerk. But of course the parents were spies. In the den off their living room, they had, instead of a TV in front of a Barcalounger, an entire wall of state-of-the-art transmission equipment with headphones, dials and clocks indicating the current time in Washington, Moscow and London, site of their last posting. The equipment was heavy metal and Buck Rogers-looking, with bad-ass welding joints such as you might find on primitive space shuttles. This equipment, the son told me proudly, was capable of sending a message anywhere on the planet. Since his parents never appeared to be home -- in fact, I'm not sure I ever even met them -- he demonstrated. He let me type in a message to send to Moscow. "Eat Shit and Die, Pig Honky," I typed, letter by letter, into the little scrolling window they still use for stock quotes. That was the current hip expletive: I would guess it was a corruption of something Linda Blair spluttered in "The Exorcist," except that didn't come out until 1973. He pressed a button, and the window informed me, "Message Transmitted." Or rather, it informed him, in Russian, and he translated. "If they were spies," I parried to my father, "do you think they'd teach their son how to use the machine? Do you think he'd let me tell Moscow to go fuck itself?" "He didn't send the message, you moron. He was just trying to impress you, to garner sexual favors."

The relationship between a mother and child post reunion is challenging in thatit is difficult to know just how to 'be' with that child or that mother after so many years.

It was an excellent show with an incredible audinece who like those at CSNY were smiling and happy for the entire 2 1/2 hour show. Paul played old songs (Beatles, Wings) and new songs from Driving Rain (Vanilla Sky, the title tune and Freedom). Great light show, + "pre-show", extraordinary energy from all on stage. It was worth the 3 hour (one way) trip and even the price for the seats.

The ASCAP Founders Award is presented to "pioneering songwriters who have made exceptional contributions to music." Throughout his career, Taylor has been recognized as both a recording artist and a talented songwriter--he's a member of both the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame and the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, and has won multiple Grammys (news - web sites) and earned numerous gold and platinum records. Taylor's extensive repertoire includes "Fire And Rain," "Sweet Baby James," "You're Smiling Face," "Copperline," and "Mexico." Lyricist Marilyn Bergman, president and chairman of ASCAP, said of Taylor's honor, "James Taylor is a truly defining American musical voice--as both a singer and songwriter. Since his breakthrough with 'Fire And Rain,' he has succeeded in translating the personal into the universal with eloquence and beauty, to the delight of millions of fans worldwide. His modest manner belies the fact that he has been and remains a major musical force for decades. We are proud to honor him with the ASCAP Founders Award." Previous recipients of the ASCAP Founders Award include Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Stephen Sondheim, Billy Joel, Steely Dan (news - web sites), Tom Waits, Andre Previn, and the songwriting teams of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, and Burt Bacharach and Hal David. -- Sue Falco, New York ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Apr 2002 18:31:47 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Another Euro Joni cover band NJC <> Well, don't blame ME because you're undereducated!

Joni bits spotted on UK TV three times in one week. Over-exposure. First the squinting sun and the hissing of summer lawns in that Ab Fab episode.

I loved the clarity and the climbs from high to low and low to high, in Joni's voice those days. It is a sound skill that I do miss in Joni in these later years. But there are new voice techniques and still some climbs, although the highs are obviously lower. My favorite era was Blue, FTR and C&S. Then it's very close between STAS/Clouds/LOTC and MOA/HOSL/Hejira. Regardless STAS is probably one of the top 10 debut albums of all time. Kate Bennett wrote: I felt the way when I first heard Shawn Colvin's Steady On. I did too, Kate. And I can remember exactly where I was. I was in a Rose record store thumbing through albums, when I heard the very beginning of "Shotgun Down the Avalanche." My best friend and I were digging in opposite bins of eachother and our heads rose up from the bins and we ran to the front desk where they played the music. Only midway in the run did we even hear her voice! Of course we were then told that it was Shawn Colvin and we both immediately purchased the album. The other albums that come to mind for me are of course - Ricki Lee Jones and an album called Ancient Hearts by Tanita Tikaram. I wonder what ever happened to Tanita, she was still in her teens when she released her debut. And that was over 10 years ago, at least. Her most memorable hit was "Twist in My Sobriety."

Pretenders self-titled debut album (1979) is brilliant. Stylistically nothing like Joni, Chrissie Hynde's lyrics and musical sensibility combine elements of hard rock, reggae, soul and Brit pop all on one influential record. Chrissie is a self-proclaimed JM fanatic, nearly causing a brawl with Carly Simon at a NYC Joni gig a few years back (maybe some of you were there? Would love to hear the non-Rolling Stone version of what went down!). ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 03 Apr 2002 21:44:23 -0800 From: "Bree Mcdonough" Subject: Re: Covers, Volume 28 >And now, on to the playlist: >1.
