OMG! She is so hot. She is soo sexy" You think? Yeah, well...At least you girls can appreciate that...I spent so many nights at her place in Tel-Aviv during rehearsals, or when she got her first major role - Juliet in the Haifa Theatre production of "Romeo and Meital" - she practicallly lived in our place for 2 months, and everytime she finished taking a bath or a shower, she would just walk around half naked, or dry herself on the sofa "a la natural", and Guy would go "You're too skinny, Juliet", and i would go "Now tell me about your new boyfriend", and sexy or hot were the last things we ever thought about her. And hey, Guy and i had no problem spending days with her wearing only our shorts or whatever. No one in this country has a problem with that! Honest! And it's not because i'm gay and i couldn't care less. And it's not because Meital has been labled as sexy since her day 1 at the Nissan Nativ acting school, so being a silly girl, "bad" naked, and unsexy whenever she can with her friends is what keeps her from going insane. It's more than her or me or him or them. It's because our generation in this country is doing everything to esacpe the old "Yidish Kid" image, so for good or bad, shamless young people rule the land. I never saw anything like that in other any place in the world - maybe in the African safari. So you get a minority of religious parents that teach their kids to close their eyes when they see a sexy 98 years old woman crossing the street, and parents like Meital and i and so many others here have, God bless them, who lost half of their lives to that bloody image and taught us the meaning of freedom (they never had) since our kindergarten days to a degree that now our generation club-members treat eachother like brothers and sisters in the most peculiar way. And the world of Israeli theatre is smaller than this list's lurkdom. It's like a crazy family, so when someone makes it "out there", once they come back home from Shmoliwood, you go to the local pub and watch a football game. And it's not only Israeli artists that you get to know and call "your friends" ,because often, very often as a matter of fact, if you're in this world here you get to know some amazing artists from all over the world in a very special way - Because when an artist visits or has working-connections in a community as small as the Isareli one, everything becomes very intimate. Don't you agree, Mr. McNally? However, i'm willing to exchange Meital's phone number for a Joni T-shirt, and i wouldn't think twice if i were you, Em and Susan, she's worth it alright. You never met anyone as funny as that girl. I told her once that my female hero is Joni and she said "My female hero is Superman"! Happy weekend everyone Nuri Get on board.

I have not seen Guru Dutt's "Pyaasa" yet though I plan to this year. I have seen "Baaz" and "Kaagaz Ke Phool" (Paper Flowers". Both are good and charming without the need to exoticize the locality (although what do I know since I have not been to India except vicariously through movies). But even if I have not seen "Pyaasa", a lot of my film readings on Third World Cinema mention this film more than "Paper Flowers". So I guess this is a must film to watch. Thanks for alerting me on this. I listened to some "Heimat songs" through movies. I have been interested in heimat (translated as homeland but that does not quite capture the essence of "heimat") movies by Edgar Reitz. But more than that, I thought the heimat songs used in pre-WWII were most interesting. Sort of like counterpoint for the Berlin cabaret songs during the short-lived Weimar Republic. Can you ask your TA friend if she can recommend me to some artists? I'd like to play some. Aside from Filipino and Southeast Asian music, I played some kabarett music in my radio gig. Easier to be in a foreign language because some words may be objectionable to English-speaking listeners. We are a tad too careful about FCC and I am impressed how other DJs can just deftly reverse the objectionable word through some sleight of hand in the control buttons and have resorted to funny ways to announce a song's title which FCC may deem indecent ("That was a song called "Shaddup or I'll kick your [pause] gluteus maximus"!). I sometimes wish there is a database of artists who are here in JMDLand so I can buy and play their music. I played Sherelle's music last Wednesday and got a kick hearing her glorious voice wrap around "Eleanor Rigby". Joseph np: Bruce Cockburn "Grim Travellers" Patti Parlette a icrit : Dear Joseph and everyjonibody: Have you seen this film? Is it worth the gift of my extra time? The description of the hero kind of makes me think of Joni. (Ha!....what *doesn't* make me think of Joni?) "Oct 4, Pyaasa, 1957, B/W, 2 hours,30 min. Directed by: Guru Dutt, music S.D. Burman Cast: Guru Dutt, Waheeda Tehman, Mala Sinha, Johnny Walker Described as a masterpiece of world cinema. About a "hero thirsting for love and for a world where poetry and creativity are valued over material success." Vijay (Guru Dutt) becomes a martyr for his art in a material word. Outstanding songs and cinematography." Also, I've been wanting to wish you bon chance et bonne courage with your radio show, Joseph. You turn us on, you're a radio! One of our German TAs just got a two hour show on WHUS where she plays "Heimat Melodies". The other day she was telling me all about it, and she said that she has to be really careful that the lyrics don't contain "bad words." So I just had to tell her that I (we) know an art teacher who has played Joni in her classroom and how one day the the "f word" came out, startling both the teacher and her students. Chuckle, chuckle. Love, Patti P., a little bit corny, a wildflower waving for you - --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail riinvente le mail ! Dicouvrez le nouveau Yahoo!

Robin Adler sounds really good and the musicians sound great! Is Peter Sprague the same guy who worked for Kevyn Lettau and Mike Shapiro in "Braziljazz"? Can't wait to hear more. Joseph in Chapel Hill np: Bruce Cockburn "You Get Bigger as You Go" Dave Blackburn a icrit : Dear listers, I'm enjoying the recent threads on Barangrill (which I love) and the orchestral albums (which I also love). Remember in Woman of Heart and Mind (DVD) where it talks about Joni's love of the crooner/swing era (Bing Crosby in particular)? We should remember that Joni's early years were in the pre-rock era when singing in front of a crack big band or full orchestra was about the ultimate experience for a singer. I find it fitting that Joni would round out her career by indulging that opportunity. It wouldn't have worked at all if she were still the shrill soprano; as an older artist whose voice had leathered it is a perfect match. Vince Mendoza is probably the pre- eminent orchestrator writing in the U.S today (his gorgeous work on Yellowjackets' "Greenhouse", Bjork's "Vespertine" and his own album "Epiphany") and as for Wayne Shorter, Joni has used him more or less continuously on every outing since DJRD so clearly she loves what he brings to the mix. BSN is the only Joni album (to my knowledge) released in 5.1 which is an extra lavish experience. Why long for the small band Joni when she had already done that for decades? Let the artist follow her muse. I for one was glad to see the end of the Larry Klein pop influence that sounds so dated now. But the real reason for this post is to PLUG our Joni birthday tribute show coming up in San Diego Nov 4th three days before Our Lady turns 63.... A smoking 6-piece band (comprising former Tom Scott and Frank Zappa band members) playing 2 1/2 hours of Joni music in a chronology through each period from the folk years, through the rock years, the jazz years and yes Bob, the eighties, on up to Turbulent Indigo, in a quiet "music only" listening space with good acoustics against a backdrop of slides of Joni's art (many thanks to Jamie Zoob for the scans). We have worked for the whole of 2006 preparing this show, refining the set, polishing arrangements, collecting guitars and played it to sold out rooms 7 or 8 times. Basically, this is a Joni night to remember!! If any of you can see your way to San Diego on Sat Nov 4th I can guarantee you a great night. Hear the demo here: http://robinadler.com/music.html Tickets ($15 via PayPal) available at http://robinadler.com/ products.html Press release with specifics: http://www.yousendit.com/download/ 8hcPhd9nYZc%3D Here is a testimonial received by email after the April 1st show: Robin's vocals were dead on. I thought Joni was actually in the room! Dave's guitar playing was superb and Barnaby's keyboard solos were over the top! I'd attend another gathering just to hear Both Sides Now and Woodstock again. Please forgive the self-promotion but if we can't plug to you guys, who? love Dave - --------------------------------- Dicouvrez un nouveau moyen de poser toutes vos questions quelque soit le sujet !

I read online things written about her in the past because I have been intrigued by this woman, so enigmatic yet whose presence is still keenly felt by everyone who may or may not know her musical oeuvre (I belong in this latter category).

He once took Joni Mitchell to Quality Pie. Of course, this was in the old days. Back when QP was a culinary landmark in pre-Pearl Portland. Back when MTV was new, and Blashfield was one of the hottest music-video guys around. From his hobbit hole of a studio on Northwest Upshur, Blashfield crafted videos for Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads and Michael Jackson. "It was the heyday," he says, "and I rode the crest of it." Blashfield was one of America's first artist/animators to start "fooling around" with computers. "My friends all thought I had something the matter with me," he says. "Then the rest of the world caught up pretty quick." Now, after a 15-year break from veejaywalking, Blashfield's back. This time, he's working with Weird Al Yankovic, a match made in pancreatic heaven. Tuesday, Weird Al released "Straight Outta Lynnwood," a DualDisc packaged with videos. Blashfield's contribution, "Pancreas," animates a Brian Wilson send-up that's full of organically good vibrations. The budget was so low, Blashfield says, he used old stock images, engaging in what the trade calls "repurposing the footage." Working with Portland producer Marilyn Zornado, he lured Art Institute alums Eric Lyman, Donald Fergus, Joseph Riso and Justin Rice into computer-creating a three-dimensional pancreas, and he was off. In this age of digital production and global e-filing, Blashfield never did get to actually meet Al. "Yes," he concedes, "that's weird." A video release Pancreatic Party is planned for the Lucky Lab in Northwest Portland at 6 tonight. After that, it's back to work. With Portland sculptor Don Merkt, Blashfield is working up a "visual meditation on water," an installation for a water-treatment plant in Seattle. "Sewage plants," Blashfield says, "are the kidneys of our world." Pancreas to kidneys. That's art, baby. Portland-style.

After all, she was finally winding up a long--and rather exhaustive--tour (which is something she's never been crazy about in the first place), and was probably getting a bit tired and cranky. Regardless, ya gotta love her--arrogance and all! ;-) XXXOOO, Billy NP: 'Love On the Rocks' by Julie London.

My ears are happy again! I just got CMIARS and Turbulent Indigo. I guess this is the Larry Klein epoch which some of you thought went wrong. Not me, although I need to listen more carefully, I'm back in the fold, all that listening to TLog made me stray a little! Sex kill is not my favourite JM, but this versions is SO MUcH BETTER than on TLog; and the way she sings 'sex kills' really gives that song that special charcter. If I had a bath tub, I'd relax so much more with this one, (undskyld, sorry, Oddmund!)! I was wonderg who that Corinna is that a sad man sings about on A Bird that Whistles? An old Danish jazz legend, Leo Mathiesen, had a song called Corinna Corinna - the same name, and he repeats it twice, and she seems to have run away (well, and come back). What I remember of it is the followoing, I'm not sure if there are any other verses, except for one where he sings kissin' in stead of lovin': Corinne, Corinna, where've you been so long Ain't been no lovin' since you've been gone I don't know if the similarity is accidental.

Nerina has received a lot of good publicity, which is gratifying, as she is certainly talented. And, she is, wait for it, a Kashmir Klub alumna! Yes, I saw her play there many times, and she was a compelling performer. She played a residency there once, when most of her backing band was Sheryl Crow's band; and sure enough, one evening I sat down and there, two people away from me, was La Crow herself. I've got Nerina's first album, Dear Frustrated Superstar. It's good, though could do with some editing. Nearly all the songs go on too long, and I also find it a tad overproduced. What comes through is her voice, which is really lovely, clear but with a slight graininess; and her way with a tune. Azeem in London NP: Sigur Ros - something weird and wonderful in Icelandic - or is it?? - -----Original Message----- From: owner-joni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-joni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of ReckersL@ebrd.com Sent: 29 September 2006 14:21 To: joni@smoe.org Subject: Nerina Pallot and Joni I have tried to check what has already been written about Nerina Pallot here before, but I must admit blushingly that I did not manage to get it to work, in spite of everybody writing how wonderful the search facility is. So I'm sure the fault is all mine, and hopefully someone will give me some gentle directions to put it right. So at the risk of repeating some earlier information, I think I have also definitely some new stuff, Joni related. In Monday's publication of Metro, the free paper in London, it was Nerina Pallot's turn to talk about her 6 favourite songs on her i-pod. And alongside numbers by David Bowie and Johnny Cash, she listed Joni's Edith And The Kingpin. She says: "I like this because of that line 'the band sounds like typewriters' - which is one of the best lyrics ever. I maintain that if Joni Mitchell had been born a man she would have been bigger than Bob Dylan. I absolutely believe that - she Sh*ts on him lyrically. She's a better musician, a better singer... everything about her is better. And I love Bob Dylan. But if I have to go to the grave over one of them it would be Joni Mitchell." I noticed the name of Nerina Pallot a few months ago, when my eldest son Thomas (21 yesterday!), who, if I can proudly say so, has a very good ear for music and plays some mean guitar and piano himself, was sitting at the computer and said to me: "Mum, listen to this song here. Don't you think that sounds just like a Joni Mitchell song?" I was not very keen to hear yet another singer being compared to Joni. I'd rather that they just do their own thing, and do it well. But anyway, mum listened. And was amazed. Because this song, Sophia, did not just remind me of Joni's music, it was first of all a really nice song, and secondly I would have sworn that it was a Joni composition! I did not hear all the other songs on the CD, I know some are much more commercial such as "Everybody's Gone To War" which made it into the charts in the UK. I'm glad this singer is not just building a career on making songs that could have been written by Joni Mitchell, but I have admiration for her musical skills. I also remember reading an interview with her before, and she sounded refreshingly "real" and unmanufactured. Just now I looked her up on the AllMusic site, and it says she was born in 1975 in London. Apparently she produced her first CD in 2001, it was pulled from the shops by the record label because they wanted to reissue it together with a new single, but then (and I quote): "an appearance on the British children's television program Live and Kicking proved disastrous when fellow guest Faye Tozer of pop group Steps accidentally pushed Pallot off the show's couch; the mishap aired live and made Pallot the butt of much joking, and Polydor terminated her contract just a few weeks later, never returning Dear Frustrated Superstar to retail. ... Pallot spent the next four years out of sight, finally resurfacing in the spring of 2005 with Fires , issued on her own Idaho label. The LP proved a critical and commercial favorite and was reissued in updated form a year later on the Warner subsidiary 14th Floor Records," Well, I'm glad for the girl! Now if anybody could tell me how to find what has been written about her before, I'd be very grateful! Lieve in London.
