["ron" ] Re: Jm and Mingus and bombastic orchestrations [Michael Flaherty Subject: NJC Heimat the German tv series Did anyone see the German series called Heimat. It was shown in England in the 80's and apparently repeating at the moment. It focused on a collection of Families in a small German village starting before the Second World war through the war and up to the 1980's as was then. The special thing about it was that the Director took the most painstaking care in each scene to make the shot look like a piece of moving Art, the like I havent seen since. It showed how families sufferd through the war, you watched characters in the series grow from teenagers to marry and have there own children. It masterly showed the other side of People that lived in Germany through the 30's 40's 50's up to 1980's I was hooked and watched all the repeats in succeding years of the series, It had the most haunting but beautifull soundtrack that echoed the events on screen perfectly. go to these sites to read more.http://www.b bc.co.uk/bbcfour/cinema/features/heimat.shtmlhttp://www.heimat123.ne t/heimattitle2min31.mp3 the main theme. low quality. http://w ww.germanfilms.com/subtitled_films/heimat_series.html This picture is an example of what the Director did to some of the scenes, a large part of the film in the Second world war was in Black and White but he coloured some scenes for this effect quite often.ht tp://www.moviemail-online.co.uk/images/large//H3---AE-14_cmyk.jpg another review :- Heimat isn't just (just!) a great motion picture--it's one of the richest, most deeply satisfying life-experiences the movies ever afforded. Conceived for West German television and divided into 11 feature-length chapters, Edgar Reitz's film begins in 1919 with the return of a soldier from the Great War to his hometown of Schabbach, in the northwestern corner of Germany, a rural region known as the HunsrC Subject: A Case of Ewes - the sheep debate Dear JMDLers, De-lurking to add to the 'sheep' thread. Part of the answer for me lies in an old bootleg recording of a live concert from the early 70's where she is explaining how 'Carey' was written. Whilst on the island of Crete, the locals, fed up with the influx of 'hippies' on their beach, were shouting at Joni et al, and she mimics the local dialect / pigeon English 'Eh sheepie, sheepie, Matala Matala' which she explains means ,"Hippie, hippie, go back to Matala where you all belong. I think she is has shortened 'Sheepie' to 'sheep' to fit the song. Er...that's all.

I can imagine that would have been a great evening at the Kashmir Klub! Thanks also to Jim for giving me more info on the search engine. I'm surprised that not more had been written before on this striking resemblance. So can I just be stubborn and insistent, and ask people to give that "Sophia" song a listen? I really almost found it "spooky" (but in a pleasant way) to hear such a "real Joni Mitchell song" written and produced by somebody else. I'd love to hear what others think! And if you agree that it's a "real JM song", which Joni album do you think it would fit in best? My own stab would be somewhere around For the Roses. I hope I won't get stoned for heresy!

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.

I hate it, when I read a book and have a picture in my mind of what the characters look like, and then the movie comes out and they look and behave nothing like the ones I had imagined. I've tried playing that one on the guitar, but I can never get it to sound right. The rhythms are tricky.

See the movie first. Just kidding, and I know what you mean. I read Stephen King's "The Shining" and it scared the pants off me, but I didn't see Jack Nicholson & Shelley Duvall in those parts at all so I didn't buy into the film very much. I did think they got Scatman Crothers right, though - that was a pretty good match. I typically don't see celebrities as characters when I'm reading a book, but rather create unique personalities. That's probably the case with most folks I would think.

I didn't think they were right for the part, hated the film, didn't find it scary at all, the kid with the talking finger was just plain weird.

Even for animated films, they want to use famous people for the voices. It makes no sense to me and makes me wonder whatever happened to imagination - on the part of both the film makers who believe people won't go unless there's a big name in it, and on the film goers, if it turns out the film makers are right.

Also I just like the way most foreign films and American indie films are paced and given their narratives to tell the story without bombarding me what this image is supposed to mean. Case in point is Gael Garcia Bernal's role as Stephane in "The Science of Sleep" -- no one tells you who he is and why he behaves the way he does in the film yet the film reveals them in throwaway gestures, in unfinished conversations, facial expressions. It doesn't help that Michael Gondry directed this who directed "Eternal Sunshine" and the underrated "Human Nature". The mental image that I have of certain characters in books really do not get translated cinematically with some notable exceptions -- Christine Lahti as Aunt Sylvie in Marilynne Robinson's "Housekeeping", Jon Voight as Pat Conroy in "Conrack" and based on Conroy's "The Water is Wide", Amanda Root as Anne Elliott in Jane Austen's "Persuasion", Kate Nelligan as Lila in Pat Conroy's "The Prince of Tides", Glenn Close as Ferula in Isabel Allende's "The House of the Spirits" and Alec Guinness as Fagin in Dicken's Oliver Twist -- books I read before I saw the movie versions. But I urge everyone who had time for edgier films to catch "The Science of Sleep" and "Lemming". Among the higher profile films, I like "Half Nelson" much more than I care to admit.

Still don't know much about her, except - > hey, she must be a big Joni fan, and that's all I > need to know. firstly - thanks for another set of covers. then - cornelia. she was german born & moved to south africa. in 1968, at the age of 18, she was picked up on by david marks, a local record producer(who also was a part of the sound team at woodstock). she had a whole string of singles between 1968 to 1980, with only three albums - 2 in 1968 & 1 in 1970. her biggest hit was her debut single "picking up pebbles" - which is also the only one i can remember ever hearing. she also worked with local folk-rock star - colin shamley (a highly talented musician who tragically has only one album out - born guilty). he wrote a song for her way back, & she did some backing vocals for him on his album - which is where i know her from. ron np - the i like song - colin shamley & cornelia ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2006 15:59:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Michael Flaherty Subject: Re: Jm and Mingus and bombastic orchestrations Benedicte Nielsen wrote: The following comment that she makes on Ch Mingus made me think of our recent discussions TLog and BSN...

My God! Tony Barber? There's a blast from the past. I knew he released an album or two but his singing career never took off. He became known in this country as the Game Show King. Tony Barber was the original host of Sale of The Century - the highest rating game show in Australia's history. It was eventually sold to the United States but, alas, Tony was not exported with it. He now only does the occasional insurance commercial on TV. Thanks Bob for this trip down memory lane.
