I had this dream. I think it was a dream. kd lang was singing this song...this beautiful, new song that Joni had written just for her... Joni was writing songs for kd and kd was back with Ben and ... it was incredible...and Patrick, you were there...and Bob...sweet SCJoniGuy, you were there too...you were all there... Really though, I know I'm all prodigal daughter with my post and dash last time, but I gotta say it somewhere... kd lang is hitting her vocal peak and it's going to be a while. She sounds ageless. It's something what apprenticing with Tony Bennett will do... And I wish there was a universe in which Joni was so inspired by kd's version of "Jericho" that she wrote for her. New songs. "Jericho" is in my rotating 5 of favorite Joni song ever. It's really only behind "Hejira" and "Don't Interrupt the Sorrow" in rotation. And dare I say it...I like kd's better than either of Joni's. It's more emotional. Warmer. Man. I just got this today and I am flat on my ass. I wish this song had been in kd's show. (I saw her at the Bowl and there just wasn't enough of this record. But "Helpless" and "The Valley" were incredible. "Hallelujah" was a revelation. Not to get too out there, but it seems like she's on some kind of spiritual journey...or path I should say.) Bob, I'm right there with you on the lyric change in "A Case of You." I think she should have just made a choice; it was a very false moment. But the way she sings "Judas, in the end"... and the "all the dogs go running free, the wild and gentle dogs kenneled in me"...it's like a new song for me. I'm gonna slink my Judas ass on out of here now...

I don't know, I love her art-work as well (although not so much this one). I think it is her shirt, rather than a hankerchief, but the distinction between the shirt and jacket is not so good. It's like she painted the top two-thirds carefully, then hurried the rest! But this painting reminds me a little of the cover of Clouds - the sunset has been replaced by fire, and she's holding several flowers instead of just one, but the expression on her face is very similar.....

Welcome, Justin. I'm in Toronto too and, strangely enough, went to Sam's yesterday (I hadn't been there in eons) to see what they had. No sign of TBOS, although they had just about everything else.

The problems with nuclear waste are 1.) it's hot, 2.) it's heavy and 3.) it must stay away from living things for _hundreds of thousands_ of years. We could get rid of it forever if we put it on top of several fleets of rockets and shoot it into the sun. Problem #1 makes that impossible because rockets occasionally blow up- we can't have the Florida coastline glowing 24x7. Problem #2 also makes it impossible. Rocket fuel is... well it's even more expensive than gasoline. But geologists know that the tectonic plates are constantly (and very slowly) burying certain parts of earth while uncovering others. We should put waste under Yucca Mountain because 1.) it's much, much safer than putting tons of radionactive death on top of several tons of liquid oxygen and lighting a fuse. 2.) there's almost nothing living under Yucca mountain right now. 3.) We can secure the perimeter of the mountain easily enough. It's even safe from terrorists crashing a big-ol'-jet-airliner(*) into the mountain too because the waste will be, effectively, in a bomb-proof bunker. Duh. 4.) The tectonic plate will gradually swallow those concrete cylinders, dispensing them closer to the molten core of our planet. That's a long long way from Mumsy and dear old Dad, not to mention al Queda. 5.) it's much, much cheaper. My two cents is: Yucca is truely a great solution to a very difficult problem.

I've said this before, but I think her muse just sent her in another direction, ie. painting - which she's done a lot more of lately - and she just decided to express herself in a different way. And as she'd said herself, "I sing my sorrow, and I paint my joy." Maybe the reunion with Kilauren and her grandchild(ren) brought so much happiness, she's had no personal sorrow to sing about?! Which leads me back to wondering why she doesn't produce a book of paintings, rather than all these compilations of her existing work. Is it because she doesn't think she has an audience for her art, or doesn't value it (herself) as much as her song-writing? Whatever the reason, I hope that the art does emerge in a commercial form at some point, and not just as tiny little graphics on CD liners!

I don't really understand snapshots *OF* a diary. Of? Does that mean that you get several different still frames, taken OF a diary? I imagine: "Shapshot #1: front view of the diary". "Shapshot #2: back view of the diary". "Shapshot #3: right hand edge of the diary". It's static. "Snapshots FROM A Diary" I could support but the word "snapshot" carries a negative connotation. Changing the title to "Dreamland" means that she narrowly avoided shooting herself in the foot... this time. To me, the cover is terrific. I studied the image on the Amazon site for several minutes: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0002MPQ50.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg Joni's made her peace with newbies. This is not like shooting the moon at newbies as she did on the cover of 'miss es'. I like this painting much more than the cover of THE BEGINNING OF SURVIVAL. I think of TBOS as a political collection so maybe the edgy cover with the green hands is appropriate. "Dreamland" is a sunnier collection and the painting is not only sunny but very interesting too. She's not just collecting that bunch of flowers. She's made an offering to her public, like the golden eggs she shared from two open palms in TRAVELOGUE. Now the track order. If these choices are set in stone, I think this is a savvy way to sequence them. She opens with a familiar radio hit that is still played very frequently today in Starbucks and on satellite radio. In the old days we had elevator music by Mantovani. Now we have "Free Man in Paris". Things are better now. :) Including "Dreamland" was a bold choice and it says several things to me: 1. Charlie Mingus' gutsy collaborator is making good decisions again. We all know that she provides an adult portion of diversity. Newbies get a real sample of it with the Dreamland track. 2. The real payoff to slipping "Dreamland" into the mix is that it perfectly sets up "The Jungle Line". They weren't on the same album originally but they are GREAT neighbors now. Many people on the JMDL have written that they just don't get "The Jungle Line". I believe the key is the drum/synth contrast. If the previous track is almost all percussion, "The Jungle Line" has the right appetizer. That contrast complements the story perfectly too. The contrast in the drums/synth is the same contrast as the story. I think "The Jungle Line" is worth setting up properly because it's a flat-out brilliant lyric. It has much of THOSL condensed into one story. It's ancient yet modern. It's primal but sophisticated. It's a trance track that also makes you think. It's dangerous. It's sexy. It's the full ripening of Joni's multiplicity. (Does this post "sound" like a Lit 300 critique or what?) "DREAMLAND" also has a very strong close: 2 of Joni's most famous anthems. I'm buying "DREAMLAND". How could I not? Lama PS to Joni: Could the next compilation include the ROTR version of "For Free", the Dick Cavett show version of "Woodstock" (with spoken intro), and the Camden, NJ version (BSN tour, 2000) of "Ludwig's Tune"? The earlier tracks are minimal and superficially "beautiful". Each arrangement gets progressively bigger. For Free & Ludwig's Tune provide a set of bookend discussions on fame. That's my two cents. DREAMLAND (on the Rhino reissue sublabel) is 1. Free Man In Paris 2. In France They Kiss On Main Street 3. Dreamland 4. The Jungle Line 5. Furry Sings The Blues 6. You Turn Me On I'm A Radio 7.
