You just can't get 'in the mood' during a Joni track. I definitely need something more... I want to say 'pumping' but that is just giving different images in my head... with a soft beat. David Gray's 'White Ladder' is easy enough on the brain that I can feel still quite rooted (sorry the double entendres are coming thick and fast ... and there I go again!) to folk music. Even Norah Jones would get me in the mood. Possibly to do with the amount of dischord in Joni's music that your body just can't cope! I think Joni's music is definitely post-coital. Perhaps there should be a mix tape of post-c Joni songs... All I Want, My Old Man, Tin Angel, Conversation, Chelsea Morning ( I guess you have to get up some time). But yes, Joni not conducive to anything but listening to Joni, I'm afraid. I guess you wouldn't go to the a Picasso or Van Gogh exhibition to make love on the benches, all those eyes staring down at you would be quite disconcerting. But sneaking into the Mark Rothko Room at the Tate, well, that would be a different story! Just vast expanses of vibrating colour. Ideal! Should this sort of post go to the list? I didn't think anyone would take me up on my Joni as a cheese question last night, as it was 3 am when I was writing it. Am I madder for asking it or are they for answering? Much Joni Jamie Zoob Kate wrote: Zoobositi: > Can I say that listening to DED, CMIARS, WTRF and NRH (but not as much) on > headphones is an amazing thing. Joni was on the stereo the other night as background music to a session in our private playground, and I have decided that her music is not conducive to lovemaking! Who knew? Her songs must be cerebral or something -- I kept focusing on her words rather than the immediate action in front of me. The music was distracting rather than reinforcing, unlike, say, a Dave Matthews CD is. Your thoughts welcome ...

I called the company up and they sent me out a demo to carry to Jonifest at Ashara's place. They sent a Tele version which was really cool. They work great but are limited for Joni songs because they cannot do the range of tunings for all of Joni's songs. Marian and I and others had a lot of fun playing with it tho. Jimmy Page has one and Sonny Landreth plays them as well and they work great for these guys for open tunings for slide playing. They are also really expensive.

I had to laugh out loud and shake my head at the line: "Well, there's a wide wide world of noble causes And lovely landscapes to discover But all I really want right now Is...find another lover" What gorgeous honesty. ** That's a great 2-word term to describe that one and so much of Hejira, Em..."gorgeous honesty". The whole album is like that, but SfS is one of my awesome foursome on that disc, I think of them almost like epics (Refuge, Amelia, and the title track are the others). Hejira is every bit as confessional as Blue, perhaps even more so. Musically, it's so much looser and freer that you don't pick up on the intense emotions as you would on Blue, or even as in the verse you've quoted, you can actually laugh about it. And the more you listen, the deeper and more profound it gets. It's hard to pick a favorite verse from SfS per se, as it's one great verse after another. The one that always hits me like a ton o' bricks is: "A woman I knew just drowned herself, the well was deep and muddy. She was just shaking off futility...or punishing somebody". Then again, there's the image of her looking at the wedding dress, the wax rolling down like tears, the $18 bucks going up in smoke.... No one else writes with the kind of consistent high quality that's common to the entire Hejira album. What a blessing to have had it as a traveling companion all these years.

I feel like they walk through the world with me, and they are always with me. The best stuff - I think of as "mental tattoos". They are etched into my brain and soul and heart. Anyway, that makes me happy you can relate to what I wrote about "Hejira". Ok, now the mother's day "to do" is over, so I think I shall kick back with "Hejira" once again - get to know it better. with a kobeer and some oil paints...

I'm sure they all are in more than one way. I have an ancient french pressing of an album called "Blues For Night People". But its pretty scratchy. I can't find this exact album on CD anywhere. What wonderful jazz guitar! Its so wonderful its almost beyond jazz, if there is such a thing. There were a couple places where I heard almost "Jansch-like" chops. Maybe Bert got the chops from Charlie Byrd, actually. I see he has a lot of latin tinged stuff, bossa nova, etc, but am shying away from that, as I like my latin music played by latins, fascist that I am. ('cept the Texas tornadoes, lurv that gringo accent) Anyone have any input or want to recommend a Charlie Byrd CD you absolutely LOVE?? thanks in advance... Em ps, like for instance - his later stuff..is it "good" in any old school jazz way?? or is it, (horrors) overproduced and slick? ===== ...........

Chuck Berry ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 May 2004 16:53:34 -0700 (PDT) From: Em Subject: Song for Sharon..more impressions a couple more thoughts, the arrangement imparts quite an "insistent" quality. Not quite the stocking wearing lady. (to me) Almost a "Riders on the Storm" groove, and it gives me that kind of groovy-jiggy feeling. But then I think of the (at least) topmost layer of subject matter, which is loosely her ruminations on marriage, the ceremony, and the lack of it. The "road not taken" kind of thing. Does she turn tough guy here in this song?? I feel a pent up strength approaching violence, which is refreshing. I feel almost taken by the collar and forced "up against the wall", to listen, dammit. She behaves, but she's ramming something home. I do love the weird "jone-ette" harpy-chorus thing this tune has going on, too. Which is there alot in "Court and Spark". This song rips my face off, and it makes me happy. Kinda like getting a new tattoo, raw and sticky. Em ===== ...........

Millington" Subject: Folk music... Thank you for the information on ELECTRIC MUSE (1975) The story of Folk into Rock on 4 vinyl LPs. and I listened to it all in one go, last night...there is really some interesting stuff on the records.....a lot of it seem VERY IRISH ( jig things) and 1860's American Civil War Camp music. But what I thought was interesting (for me) was the lack of background instruments/sounds to 'fill' out the music ( as I think what some of the people on the Digest are alluding to on Joni's 'Travelouge', which I personally like)...meaning ......artist going back to the so called unplugged stuff. With this Electric Muse records..there are parts which could have done with added instruments in the studio..but then that is the cleverness of this album....that a lot of the music is 'raw '...maybe I have been spoilt???? but it did leave me with...at this point, there could have been a echo effect or more bass or been speeded up or etc etc and a some of the tunes on this collection....did they influence Joni at all? Can I add this? Live Versus Studio? I seem to enjoy Ms Mitchell when she is 'live' ( i.e. A Woman of Heart and Mind...the live songs at the end on the DVD, Miles of Aisles, Joni and James in concert 1970, etc) a lot more, rather than her studio work, which I also like..but the 'Live' stuff is what I always put on, when I look at my collection. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 9 May 2004 21:08:36 -0400 From: Subject: Joni mention at the car parts store I guess this counts as Joni Content. I was buying parts for the venerable 16-year old, Volvo 245 today when the guy behind the counter goes, "You like Joni Mitchell, huh?" I was wearing a TTT t-shirt. I said, "Uhhn. Yeah. Big time." The guy goes, "My favorite one of hers is "WILD THINGS RUN FAST." I blinked. I don't often hear WTRF named as a favorite. I said, "Yeah, 'Chinese Cafe' might be her last great, great piano song." He's also a fan of Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, and Led Zeppelin. (He's a part guy after all.) Sincerely, Jim L'Hommedieu np: Rickie Lee Jones "THE EVENING OF MY BEST DAY".

After being published as a poem, it was quickly put to the music of "John Brown's Body". It was adopted by the Union Army as a favorite battle song. In 1870, Julia Ward Howe took on a new issue and a new cause. Distressed by her experience of the realities of war she once promoted, determined that peace was one of the two most important causes of the world (the other being equality in its many forms) and seeing war arise again in the world in the Franco-Prussian War, she called in 1870 for women to rise up and oppose war in all its forms. She wanted women to come together across national lines, to recognize what we hold in common above what divides us, and commit to finding peaceful resolutions to conflicts. Julia, gives us hope that those who favor war as a solution, can change. Truly they must change if their is any hope of world peace. She was not only a Christian, evident in the lyrics to her Battle Hym, but also a transcendentalist in the tradition of Emerson, Thoreau and Dickenson. On behalf of all people on the earth, join in remembering the meaning of Mother's Day as you read the Mother's Day Proclamation, penned in Boston by Julia Ward Howe in 1870.. and then consider what else you can do to take action for a more just and sustainable world: " Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts,whether your baptism be that of water or of tears say firmly: We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies, our husbands shall not come to us reeking of carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says, "Disarm, Disarm!" The sword of murder is not the balance of justice! Blood does not wipe out dishonor nor violence indicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them then solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God. In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women without limit of nationality may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient and at the earliest period consistent with its objects to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions in the great and general interests of peace.

The biggest picture is humanity - period! " Thanks for your support susan. I actually think the picture I see is huge. It is one that goes back into history & sees how civilizations have become extinct & is one that goes forward with a vision for what is possible for many generations to come if we can change the course we are on at present which is very precarious.

They also have a two-CD set of Mr. Louis Armstrong and Ms. Ella Fitzgerald. That's too much talent for a single CD to hold. All the best, Jim ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 May 2004 1:20:30 -0400 From: Subject: Mitchell Centre Maybe in the summer, a traveling carnival will bring in a tent show with a mix of NY and Cuban Jazz. I envision a new movie theatre with a stolen name and juke box dive, named for Daryl Hanna's first big role. I imagine Saskatoon is best avoided in February, bully winds and all... Jim Keeping score? Carnival From Kenora, Harlem in Havana, Furry Sings the Blues, All I Want, Mermaid Cafe, Urge For Going. > I'll open a little shop. Call it "Shiny Toys". You'll be able to buy Joni Walkers or Carey Silver Canes or how about Tequila Anaconda Diapers Black Crow Bird Feeders Next door some one can open up a Coin operated Laundry "The Magdelene Laundries" and of course there is going to have to be a Chinese Cafe> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 May 2004 02:36:32 -0400 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today's Library Links: May 10 On May 10 the following article was published: 2000: "Old-Fashioned Love Songs" - Los Angeles Times (Interview) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=512 ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2004 #214 ***************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
