Apparently, there's a two-page ad for Joni's upcoming art show in the latest issue. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Nov 2006 17:10:57 +0100 (CET) From: Joseph Palis Subject: RE : Re: NJC Sufjan I saw Sufjan Stevens in concert in UNC Memorial Hall last September. It was one of those concerts where the tickets were sold out on the first day of release. I don't own any of his albums but yet I heard very positive things about him in the List, so when a friend gave me his ticket to the show because he cannot make it, I decided to go watch him in concert. After all I am curious about this artist who plans to make an album on all the states of the US. He has done Michigan and Illinois(e) so far. It is hard to remember a concert that happened more than a month ago especially since I don't know all the songs he sang, much less the kilometric titles, but my first impression is generally positive. His band were all dressed as butterflies or some-such insects and he Sufjan himself had a pair of very large eagle wings (or maybe it was a condor's, who knows?). He is quite different from what I thought he would be on stage. I was thinking of a Ben Lee or Martin Sexton type of stage presence or manner but he is more like Matt Hales of Aqualung. He talks to people with a lot of inside jokes and other shared info that a non-fan like me do not know or too slow to grasp. His movement is slow, slightly effeminate and even awkward at times. Maybe it was calculated. Maybe not. But when he sings, the soundscapes change. Even the whole stage is transformed into a Mikel Rouse-type of performance. Projected on the stage's wide screen is a home-movie video of him flying a kite and several pictures of avian creatures in various stages of flight or near flight. Later he told the audience that there are two things he liked the most: birds and kites. And you can discern that pretty much from his music that seems to revel the freedom of open air, of open space, of the vast sky. Since I wont be able to tell you the names of the songs, they are characterized by a stark, usually a capella intro, then when his own voice takes flight, the swirling instruments would contribute to the general cacophonous sounds so that his voice melds into the mayhem of sounds, then a very abrupt halt where his own plaintive voice will continue the song to its conclusion. Much like a symphony really of intro, improvisation, resolution. The songs are ethereal/dream pop with a sadcore middle but I could be totally off here since he also plays music that I would associate with Raymond Scott -- with such cartoonish glee and fun. And he would tell lots of funny stories to the audience of mostly male college students that are not really very funny but were always met with approving laughter and applause. At one point he asked: "Does this school have a super computer in campus?" to a chorus of "Yes!" then he said "I thought not, too. Otherwise you would all have written the next tune". Then he launched into a song that is called Super computer or something. And he played so many instruments. He played all sorts of guitars and I would not be surprised if he also plays uod, guimbri, hurdy-gurdy, bassoon or valve trombone. He even played the piano while a guitar was slung over his shoulder so he can alternately play both. A guy behind me said: "What a show-off!" - but he said that in a loving and almost reverential way. For me the most interesting thing about the concert was how music was used to dazzling effect to score the images that were shown nonstop in the giant screen. In fact the whoe performance is really like a Mikel Rouse show (think "End of Cinematics") where the images counterpoint music and vice versa. The encore is this funny song done karaoke style so everyone can join in and this is where I realized that because precision plays a huge part in the show, the encore song did not produce the riotous climax because the way words appear onscreen to prompt the people to sing came out by a fraction of second less, the audience made do by following along a beat behind. But since this is quite a fitting end to the whole concert and because people are waiting to stand on their seats, it still produced applause. But you know what, I liked the opening act called My Brightest Diamond where a woman sang about 6 songs and stole my heart. Dressed in a 1940s coiffure but playing the electric guitar like a rock star, she was/is a delicious anachronism and she opened the show with a piano-led song that was so impassioned this side of Tori Amos that she combined clapping and foot stomps the way a gospel singer like Gertrude Morgan brings to a song. Hair-raising start. And her voice soars to the high heavens. My Brightest Diamond and Sufjan Stevens belong to the same record label and they must have been on the road for some time because of the ease the singer gave way to Sufjan and how Sufjan had very positive things to say about her band when he took over. I wonder why I still don't have an album of Sufjan even if I saw a few in a used record store.

I would encourage you to pick up a CD or two of his, especially if you liked his live show.

I don't care what anyone says: Women can be just as smart and qualified as menespecially the clowns we've had in Washington lately. But Hillary Clinton? She's just a little too ambitious to do what no woman before her has ever done. Hillary seems to think she knows what our country needs better than anyone else, and believes that she, among the hundreds or thousands of qualified politicians, is the only one who can do it. Is that really the sort of person we want at the helm of our federal government? Not to mention that she's extremely self-promoting. She spends almost all her time these days going to fundraising events dedicated to raising money foryou guessed itHillary Clinton. She's always popping up in the news with a new initiative she's spearheading or some kind of complaint against the president. I don't want to use the B word, but she seems awfully bossy to head an executive branch that employs 450,000 people. Sen. Clinton always wants to be throwing her opinion around about this bill or that law. I saw her on Meet The Press just last week. Every time Tim Russert would take her to task on one issue or another, she'd come right back at him with some sort of smart answer. She needs to learn that sometimes you need to just accept your place; it's not polite to always act like you know things. Not to mention the fact that, as a working woman, she should take those precious Sundays to spend some time with her family, not to meet with the press on national television. I'd rather see a female presidential candidate who wasn't so focused on herself and her political aspirations. It seems like she puts a lot of thought into every decision that she makes, as if every little move were planned ahead of time down to the smallest little detail. It's hard to pin down exactly why, but it just wouldn't feel right to see someone who is so politically calculating win those precious 270 electoral votes in the next election. Hillary doesn't shy away from tough situations, as she proved with her health- care proposal during her husband's first term. She likes to tackle the hard problems, no matter how entrenched the current failing system seems to be. Is it just me, or should the woman who overturns a 230-year-old tradition not have such a tendency to rock the boat? Hillary has some very strong opinions, and she certainly doesn't hesitate to voice them. She's got an entire website dedicated to her positions on every last little thing. In debates, she always wants to have the last word. She's in love with the sound of her own voice. That's not the sort of person who should be in politics, much less the White House. Do we really want the first woman leading the free world to be such an outright take-charge type? What's more, nobody asked her to run. In fact, a lot of people on both sides of the aisle don't even want her to run, and many other politicians are planning on running against her. Yet she's stayed in the race, blatantly ignoring the wishes of some people. Shouldn't the first woman to break the gender barrier of the American presidency be the type of woman who listens to those who doubt her and bows to public opinion more often? Ever heard of letting others take the lead, Sen. Clinton? If you're going to become the first woman in the Oval Office, you should start thinking about acting a little more ladylike. http://www.theonion.com/content/node/48757 np - emmy lou harris, even cowgirls get the blues ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Nov 2006 18:54:21 +0000 From: "Sherelle Smith" Subject: RE: Hillary Clinton Is Too Ambitious To Be The First Female President - NJC Hi Patrick and thank you for sharing this! Here's my only concern about this opinion; if Hillary were a man, wouldn't these be considered admirable traits of leadership? I'm just asking. She may indeed be too ambitious, I haven't looked into her enough to draw that conclusion for myself yet, but the truth is, her daughter is grown, her husband has a separate life of his own where he's doing speaking engagements of all kinds...everybody has their own life. Does Bill spend "quality" time with her? Fair is fair. I just don't think it's such a sin to have political aspirations for herself nor should we make her the heavy for keeping the family together. I do agree that a president male or female has to be able to know when to step it up and when to lay low politically, especially when dealing with other nations. I've heard a few verbal faux pas' from her and I worry a bit that if she were president, she would do similar things with the heads of states of other countries. It's just a concern though and nothing that can't be remedied. There's still so much I don't know about her so I'm going to just keep digging. Thank you Patrick again for this article. It gives me great insight to the pulic mood of others concerning her candidacy.

And as per usual, both tricks & (mostly) treats aplenty in this, yet another submittal in the never-ending saga of Joni covers. Thanks to my stalwart supporters Paul & Monica for their assistance, as well as the fine gentleman who sent me the live Diana Krall - forgot your name and I hope you read this so you can step up and take a well-deserved bow. And if you want to listen along while you read, go here first: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=batch_download&batch_id=8VLKwqg%2FwLg%3D And now, let's crawl under the covers and see what pops up... 1. Tamarisque - The Circle Game: We start off with a recording from the other side of the world (from me, anyway). Australian folk groupTamarisque consists of the Gordons; Hugh, Jane, Janet & Alexander, playing a variety of acoustic instruments such as fiddles, guitars, mandolins, etc. 2. Aimee Mann - River: I know I'm in the minority, but Aimee Mann's voice gets under my skin worse than a gaggle of New Orleans chigger-bugs. Whiny, monotone, nasally and void of warmth and/or sincerity while exhibiting the range of a junior high school talent show contestant. Skate or sleigh, I don't care how, but geez Aimee Mann won't you please go now? 3. Restoration - Both Sides Now: Wow, this one is so Partridge Family cheesy it makes Velveeta look like health food. And what really makes this track stand out in a wonderfully bad way is the insertion of a "Jesus" chorus after each of Joni's original choruses. Makes me wanna put my hands in the air and sway, and of course make a healthy contribution to the building fund. Has to be heard to be believed. I'm sure they think they improved on Joni's original composition. Oh well, like they say, something lost and something's gained in living for the Lord. 4. Albert Au - The Circle Game: Hong Kong's own Albert Au graced last month's issue as well with his version of BSN - this time round (and round and round) it's his take on The Circle Game. Except for sounding a bit like Elmer Fudd at times, it's a straightforward cover, which means he digs in and goes for about 5 minutes or so. 5. Jason Feddy - Big Yellow Taxi: A hard-to-find track from an out-of-print CD. Jason's an ex-Brit, now living and playing on the California coast. This poppy version has some original lyric flourishes and Jason's voice navigates it clearly and powerfully. 6. Kim Cataluna - Twisted: Another take on the Gray-Ross classic, features a boppy vocal by Ms. Cataluna and some nice jazz piano too. She races right through it and clocks in at under two-and-a-half minutes. 7. Paul Tillotson The Love Trio - Big Yellow Taxi: A very different BYT; an instrumental, slowed down and set to a gentle jazz rhythm and lots of nice 'weird minor chords' thrown in the mix to make it even more interesting. Me likey for sure. 8. Cass Elliot - Sisotowbell Lane: I've talked about this one ever since its release last year on a Cass rarities collection. Her lovely voice is a natural for the tune, and since it's the only cover of SL it's significant in that regard as well. Starts out sounding like Urge For Going - I guess the two songs do share some characteristics. I'm certainly glad they pulled this one off the shelf - I only wish Mama Cass was still around to give us more Joni covers. 9. Kristin Hoffman - A Case Of You: I was very lucky to snag this one...Kristin's an NYC singer-songwriter that was giving away EP's at her gigs featuring this track. She kindly agreed to send me a copy of the EP, so thanks Kristin! Her operatic training serves her well in terms of vocal clarity, and she invests the right emotion of heart and soul into it as well. 10. The Swingle Singers - River: These folks have been around for a long time...acapella before acapella was cool, one might say. They have previously given us "In France They Kiss On Main Street", a little more creative choice than this but they are still vocally very strong here. 11. Vox One - Woodstock: More acapella, but Vox One specializes in throwing elements of gospel, soul, and blues into their jazzy stew. A variety of lead vocalists helps to make this version of Woodstock one of the loveliest you'll hear. 12. Patty Greer - The Circle Game: Patty is a harpist, which in no way shape or form sets you up for what she does with TCG. Her soulful vocal sets a groove, and she throws in many original musical additions, including a guest rap. Doesn't like like it would work, but it does...for me, at least. 13. Patty Greer - A Case Of You: Now, on THIS track Patty's harp gets center stage moreso than on TCG, the creative warm vocal remains the same however which is indeed a good thing. Quite an original treatment. 14. Stan Ridgway - Both Sides Now (he calls it "Clouds"): Those of you who don't know Stan may be aware of the 80's one-hit wonder Wall of Voodoo (Mexican Radio). I was a fan even before that and have followed WOV's lead vocalist Stan Ridgway's career ever since. His songwriting style is Raymond Chandler-esque, he plays a mean harmonica, and his voice is certainly a unique and easily recognizable instrument. I'm guessing that only Jody & I will dig this one, but at least we're in good company. 15. Diana Krall - Black Crow (live): This live recording of Black Crow (the original studio version appeared on her last CD The Girl In The Other Room) is from her Montreal Jazz Festival DVD release, and the band is kickin' it - nice clean guitar solo (sounds like something off a 70's Steely Dan record), Diana's vocal has that combination of sultriness and urgency that she does, and her piano work is equally solid. As much as I dug the studio recording, these guys really stretch it out and breathe new life into it here. 16. Jacqui McCarthy - I Think I Understand: Hailing from NY State, Jacqui presents a lovely guitar and fiddle version of one of my fave Joni songs. Sweet. 17. Markiza & Peter Brown - River: This one is a bit different...Markiza just sings the words without investing a lot of emotion in them over a country & western twangy sort of rhythm. Sounds like she REALLY wishes she had a River so she could go do some fishin'. 18. Joan Bender - Both Sides Now: Joan sings Joan...this version of the franchise sounds like it has its roots in Joni's MOA version with fading, sliding and bending notes over a smallish jazz combo. A little too correct/formal sounding for my tastes. And there they are - this month's box o' goodies. Hope you enjoy them, and if you're not able to get the download but still yearn to hear this collection, let me know and we'll figure something out. No Joni Cover left behind, that's my motto. I'll be back like a bad penny in a couple weeks for another retro batch, and in a month for another brand new lot.

Please try later." Does this happen to anyone else? I never used to get that message. I didn't bother saying anything earlier for the sake of a song or two, but I'd like to get the complete covers collection (CCC or C3). I'm wondering if there's something going on with my computer settings. If so, I can't figure out what. I did recently upgrade to XP, but have been able to download stuff from YouSendIt, including the covers catch-up stuff, since then.

I haven't heard of anyone else having any problems. I did upgrade my yousendit account to handle larger files and allow more downloads. It used to be that the link got tapped out and someone would need to repost, but my link should be good for 100 downloads so that shouldn't be the problem - then again I don't know how many people are getting these things.
