NJC Very cool, Garret - I've had Amy's CD in steady rotation for months. I hope you like it, looking forward to seeing what you think. She went for more of a live feel on this one since she gets such a good response to her live shows. As for the John Doe, I saw him live last weekend in a FREE afternoon show - I couldn't believe that I was only about 6 feet away from him as he played a couple of X songs and lots of new ones. He stuck around afterwards and talked, signing X LP's and CD's and selling his new one. His voice is really strong, he sounds uncannily like Jim Morrison. Arcade Fire - this was getting so many good reviews I just had to bite. I didn't care for it at first but once I warmed up to I became addicted to it - very nice sequencing and the whole thing flows really well. You can cite many influences but at the end of the day they have a very unique sound. Bob NP: Luka Bloom, "Dreams In America" Better first dates. More second dates. Yahoo!

So, name one album that i really should get ( i *will* buy at least one of these recommendations today) Hey Garret - I rarely buy whole CDs, but I am totally addicted to Mary Gauthier's Mercy Now. There's not a bad cut, and it just gets better with every listen. She creates her own unique sense of positive energy with a real world-weary, Southern feel. On the rock front, I'm crazy about the Kaiser Chiefs - interesting, topical, funny new wavish punk band from over your way (Scotland maybe?). They've got a huge rock hit on the radio right now - I Predict A Riot. I've been playing them nonstop for about a week and really getting addicted to them too. On the rap/hip-hop front: A lot of good stuff on The Game's CD plus the single cuts Tippin by Mike Jones, Sugar by Trick Daddy, and that wacky 1 Thing by whoever she is . . . most unique song out there now. David NP Gavin DeGraw, Follow Through (Gavin's pretty good, old-fashioned rock and roll, reminds me a little of Jagger and the 70's - he sings that song on the radio now Chario-o-o-t. Jem's opening Gavin's new tour. She's kind of interesting, girl from Whales, big with the teeny-boppers over here - interesting music, interesting vocals, really dumb lyrics).

I think the thing for me, Laura, is that you cannot be all "ears and questions" without having first engaged her somehow in conversation. Granted if she came up and gave you her "fan" story that would be something different entirely .... Suddenly Joni appears at your table and says..."your being a fan of mine has made my life different" so you would be extremely taken aback, (especially if you were someone who had no idea who she was) but also there is no way I can imagine she would do that. I am sure she is a gracious and warm and possibly approachable person but I still hold with the fact that my enjoyment of a large amount of her work does not entitle me to anything and certainly not to disturb someone who is taking time out to relax. I would think it a gross invasion of privacy to go up and bother her. That is just me, my take on things, and nothing would persuade me other wise. I think she might enjoy a note left at the till for the waitress to deliver with her bill. That might actually mean something to her and she might stick a note up in her kitchen or something... You could remain anonymous and she would remain totally at peace going away from a non-encounter... she would not have felt put upon, defensive, having to engage with yet another persons version on why she thought this about that, or "what actually really do the words in such and such a song" mean when its possibly something she has no energy to talk about. People are all do different arn't they, You would go up, I would not, "you say tamayto" "I say tomahto" etc., But what is nice is that there is possibly not one of us here who does not think about "A Case of You" when they see a TV screen flickering in some darkened room or bar.... That for me is what getting Joni is about. I dont think I am that big a fan compared to some here, I have not listened to her for a few weeks...... but I do know that people who like Joni are lovely people (those I have met seem pretty fine to me) and that is why I am here.. I have great affection for a lot of Canadian artists and there is obviously some sort of core of me that is hit by their work... But no cat either live or stuffed on my behalf thank you.....

I always think of "ACoY" when I see blue TV-screen light, unless all the house lights have been left up bright, then I think of "The Last Time I Saw Richard." That probably sounds a little sad, but it's not as if I've compiled 63 volumes of covers of her music, or anything over-the-top like that. Which reminds me, I recently saw a copy of the Joni Starbucks CD -- the one for which various performers picked their favorite Joni songs. If you've been around the JMDL for a decade or two, you may remember that I once put forth the theory that perhaps "Blue" was writtten to Graham Nash as a goodbye from Joni as she began her relationship with James. Well, guess which song ol' Graham picked... - --Smurf, who wouldn't just bother Joni if he ran into her, he'd give her a hearty slap on the back, use a hand-buzzer when he shook hands with her, and then he'd plop a whoopie cushion on her chair as she sat down. But no autographs. That's too invasive... __________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger Show us what our next emoticon should look like.

NJC It was solo, Randy...mostly acoustic but he did plug in for a couple of numbers. He was on his way to Charlotte, NC for a show and played a 4PM gig at the Bohemian Cafe, a VERY small restaurant/cafe. Like I said, it was a free show (although I bought 4 beers and a copy of his CD which he signed for me so so much for free) and was really memorable. The guy I was sitting with was a HUGE X fan from the west coast and had seen the band 19 times. I was happy to take a picture of him with John and he had a major SEG on his face - great picture. I was satisfied with a handshake and telling him thanks for helping me through the bleak 80's. I did know that Ray produced the first couple X discs, plus they did a cover of "Soul Kitchen" on their debut...it just never seemed to me that Doe sounded so Jim-like until this release.

Stanley - portly, smiling and intense - was the manager at New York's famous, notorious even, Chelsea Hotel at 222 West 23rd St. He had inherited the position from his father, David Bard, who bought it in 1940. Stanley had grown up in the corridors of this building, which was the tallest in Manhattan when it opened in 1884. Back then it had been at the centre of the theatre district. Sarah Bernhardt loved the place. It had originally been 100 apartments but most had been split into smaller rooms and suites. The Chelsea, declared a New York landmark building in 1966, always had many permanent residents. Stanley told me of the painter Alphaeus Cole, who lived there for 35 years until he died at 112. Composer and critic Virgil Thompson stayed even longer, 54 years. The list of famous residents and guests is long: Mark Twain, Thomas Wolfe, the boozers Brendan Behan and Dylan Thomas, and Patti Smith with Robert Mapplethorpe. Then there was William Burroughs, who wrote The Naked Lunch while staying at the Chelsea. Stanley Kubrick would come to see author Arthur C Clarke when he was working on the screenplay for 2001: A Space Odyssey. Allen Ginsberg, Bob Dylan, and Warhol's crowd frequented the Chelsea in the 1960s and Janis Joplin had sex there with Leonard Cohen (who wrote about it). Chelsea Clinton is named after the place. Actually she's named after the song Chelsea Morning , which Joni Mitchell wrote about the hotel. Jimi Hendrix was once mistaken for a bellboy as he waited in the lobby, and Sid Vicious killed his girlfriend Nancy Spungen in a room upstairs. It was coverted into an apartment and you can't rent it. I'd stayed a few nights in a front room beneath the famous sign. The television picked up only static, the bedlamps didn't work and the bathroom was clean but the water flow was almost nil. But it was an experience. Sometimes I would just sit in the lobby and look at the art which had been given as payment in lieu of rent by the likes of Larry Rivers. (The Jackson Pollock has long gone - to Stanley's place, they whisper.) Every day there was a parade of the famous, the near-famous or the barely breathing who would make their way to the rickety elevator by the desk. One day some people set up for a Mariah Carey video shoot. Two films a year are shot in the corridors and rooms, 9 Weeks among them. On my final morning after paying the reasonable bill I asked if it was possible to meet the manager, explaining that I was a journalist. "Don't worry about it, Stanley always likes to talk to journalists," said the middle-aged man I had observed dispensing keys and wisdom to guests. And so I sat in Stanley's front office, which was a landslide of papers, letters, accounts and old newspapers. He indicated a stacked bookcase. "All of those books were written here at the Chelsea," he said. He didn't rate the one by the self-confessed bad pornographic novelist Florence Turner, who lived here for a decade until 75 and wrote about the residents. Maybe that was because she suggested Stanley was tight with money. He told me of the hippies who took over the place in the 60s, how Sid Vicious was very polite, that residents keep to themselves, and how each room has its own character. "Every room here is different," he said. "Lemme show you." He led me through the long and tatty corridors on the third floor and opened a door. "Here's the room Angela Bowie just stayed in," he said gesturing around a spacious suite where the former Mrs David had luxuriated. Another smaller room had an unexpected view over what appeared to be a small garden. Then he took me to the room he had decorated himself. The door opened to reveal a migraine in the making. The table and bedhead were designed like a snail's shell, there was a mirror the same shape, spirals were on the carpets and a wall-hanging. It was mad. "I call it the Snail Room," said Stanley with obvious pride. I must have been two blocks away before I realised I was still laughing. __________________________________ Yahoo!

Well, guess > which song ol' Graham picked... That doesn't surprise me at all - I've always thought Blue was about Graham (and NEVER bought the whole David Blue theory - this song is way too personal). On WOHAM Joni talks about how hard it was to leave Graham after he asked her to marry him, but she didn't want to be "tied" to a house and husband, and give up her dreams. The lyrics in Blue (to me, at least) corroborate this: "Crown and anchor me, or let me sail away" Incidentally, the background song through this segment on WOHAM is also "Blue" - maybe mistakenly, but I would think Joni might have had some input into this. "Everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go Well I don't think so But I'm gonna take a look around it though Blue I love you" These lyrics describe the sorrow in leaving Graham, sort of saying that while artists need to "suffer", Joni doesn't want to be there, but she is still suffering over this decision. "Blue here is a shell for you Inside you'll hear a sigh A foggy lullaby There is your song from me" This is like she's saying she'll always regret this decision in some ways, but there'll always be a place in her heart for Graham - which I think has been demonstrated over the years, as they've remained good friends. The one area I'd disagree with is that your inference (unless I'm mistaken) that Joni left Graham for James. She's always spoken of how hard it was to leave, even though she loved him, and I never thought that the decision was influenced by another man. And I would have thought there'd be a decent period of "recovery" time, at least!

NJC Hello my dear friends- I am finally surfacing after a week of partying (ok it's been closer to a month but who the cluck is counting??). It has been a wonderful and memorable one. I had lovely visits from good friends like Julius (the self proclaimed best friend and indeed he is a jewel of a pal and others pale in comparison) and my friend Peg from Chicago (an indirect JMDL link thru Diane who I have not seen on the list in ages) and Tina from Anaheim a NAMM fixture at the Muriel Anderson concerts. Julius stayed for quite a few days and we had a blast checking out the finer eateries of New Orleans with his lady friend Gayle. Many of you do not know this but he has sacrificed tons to care for this very sick lady who needed so much looking after around he clock. You can just feel the love and caring that is bigger than life itself. My family threw me a huge party at the home of my friend Kurt (the vidiographer from PazFest) who has a great place with a stage built right into his living room. Tons of guitars, PA, percussion, amps, keys, lights, video screens, LCD screens at several positions to put your lyrics and music up on. In other words a very cool space. The focus was on music of course and many of my friends serenaded me individually and then it grew into an all out jam. The highlight was playing with living legend Henry Butler and my old friend Carl Dennis (former lead singer for the band Windjammer who put out several records in the seventies. He also wrote the song Stay which is still player on many R&B stations). We went until 4am. Christina Friis Nielson Price also showed up and graced us with song with her husband Sam Price (YES that one from PazFest fame). It was a big surprise. They were married quietly sometime last November, but I just found out. I played a couple of songs with my 14 year old guitar playing buddy Alex, including a cover of Typical Situation by DMB and Rain by Patty Griffin. One of the funnier moments was when my friend Raphelle ( a massage therapist) showed up and was paid by several other friends to give me a 15 min massage while everyone else looked on. Very strange. The food was great and it was a ton of fun. Wish you all could have been here. I got tons of cool gifts including an iPod which my family had given me before, but I took back cause I did not think I needed yet another gadget, but alas I guess I do. The DaVinci Code, an iPod case, a cock ring with a dangling martini that is too small so I will probably pierce myself with it (I was thinking maybe another appendage like my nose), many bottles of booze, tons of clothes, lots of old pictures from my past, some original artwork, and some lovely Waterford Crystal Martini glasses from my dear friend Kakki. Plus a lot of other stuff. I am way to blessed to have so many wonderful friends. Thanks for all the wishes publicaly, privately, by email, phone, and US mail. I am not worthy!
