Some people have tinnitus all the time (permenant hearing loss) from listening to headphones too loudly. I'd go for better 'phones. Okay, the lecture is over. Have you tried plugging the headphones into your computer speakers' jack? On my old Labtec Spin 75 speakers, the amplifier is ridiculously good, even in the bass. It supplies 2.5 clean watts RMS to each channel which is a LOT more clean power than a sound card- plenty for the Grado SR-80 headphones ($99 USD) I use at work. http://www.headphone.com/guide/by-manufacturer/grado/grado-sr-80.php?datafeed=froogleJim L.PS, When I cut coffee out of my diet, the tinnitus dropped by 80 or 90%. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 13:23:32 -0400 From: "Rob Argento" Subject: RE: MP3/iPOD I think I would simply buy more memory for my Ipod and just find the time to load my entire collection. - plus a whole bunch of Bob's covers! - -----Original Message----- From: owner-onlyjoni@smoe.org [mailto:owner-onlyjoni@smoe.org] On Behalf Of LCStanley7@aol.com Sent: den 29 juni 2007 13:06 To: joni@smoe.org Subject: MP3/iPOD If you were loading one with Joni albums (not including compilations) and had time to load all but 3, which 3 would you leave off? ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 12:26:23 -0700 From: "Randy Remote" Subject: Re: Joni's appearances now njc There is actually a bootleg of CSN doing "Long Time Gone" WITH Tom Jones from his show.

I'd go for better 'phones. Hi Jim, I have tinnitus too. Only on the right side. Its gotten much worse the last 10 years or so, since I've been riding my motorcycle at high speed without earplugs and sometimes wearing helmets that allow way too much windnoise. My tinnitus manifests itself as a "woo woo woo" noise in my right ear (like an owl), that goes right in time with my pulse. If I put my finger lightly on a spot behind my jaw bone, it stops the noise. Also if I drop my jaw way down it stops the noise. Turning my head far to the right stops it and turning far to the left makes it worse. Strange thing. It goes away sometimes. If I excercise alot, walk etc, it tends to go away a bit and if I reduce the caffeine, too - like you mentioned. I think it is blood pressure related, although I don't have high blood pressure. At least not now that I've taken about 45 lbs off. But I still have the tinnitus. Funny, I never associated it with music. Had it before the iPod, and I didn't really use the headphones much back then. But I'm sure standing right in front of the speakers at concerts didn't help. Thinking the Dead in the early 80's. snip.... > plenty for > the Grado SR-80 headphones ($99 USD) I use at work. ah! you have some Grados! I have been really thinking of snagging me a pair. I have some Sony MDR V600's, which were really highly rated when I bought them, about 10-15 years ago, and seem to continue to get good reviews (I was surprised to see that model is still being made). But I am am real interested in the Grado's. I did read tho, that someone who did a comparison of the Grado's couldn't tell the diff between the the SR60 and your 80's and even higher models. hmmmmmmm...... would love to try some others besides mine. Am going to try running the headphones out of my desktop iMac, rather than the MacBook, and see if the sound out is a bit better. The sound out of the Macbook is very clean, just not super loud. :) thanks for taking the time to put in your .02, Jim. Hope you are having some hot fun in the summertime!

Everything peaks, grows, and expands its influence- even negative thoughts, so watch what you allow to expand! *One who counts his money at the full moon increases it. (I will test this tonight when I go out....) *Wishing Power is at its fullest in the Full Moon phase- this is truly a magical time to set goals, make grand plans and ask for assistance. Be careful what you wish for - this full moon wants to prove its power to you with manifestation. *Stimulants and aphrodisiacs are most effective on the Full Moon - everything that nourishes the body is taken in, expands and works better at this time, including herbs and vitamins. *Full Moons are notorious for producing more emergency room visits, births, and violent crimes. They don't call 'em LUNATICS for nothing. Blood flows easiest at this time, as well - so no surgeries or dental work are advised *If you have a problem with moodiness or restlessness around the full moon, make sure you are not sleeping directly in the moonlight, even inside your room *Children conceived in the moonlight may be crazier, and prone to sleep-walking - -Monika NP: Sweet Bird (I love, love, love this song!)-Joni ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 18:41:44 EDT From: Motitan@aol.com Subject: Mingus, yay or nay?

I came across this doing some searches on the internet. I have to disagree with the writer on this one. I can easily listen to Joni's albums start to finish. I will agree with Nirvana though. I don't listen to them constantly and never all the way through.... "About a month before my birthday this year, I sent my girlfriend an excel spreadsheet that clearly organized the vinyl records I wanted for my birthday into two simple categories: old and new. While I wanted hard-to-grab recent albums like Wilcobs Summerteeth, I was also hoping to add some all-time favorites like Joni Mitchellbs Blue to my LP collection. Because Ibm territorial when it comes to presents, I got almost everything I expected (except Summerteeth, which apparently is at least a hundred bucks). Shortly after, I was making sure all of the newbies in the collection got a couple spins each. When it was Jonibs turn to aurally pleasure me, I threw her on Mary Peppers, and laid on the couch for a listen. (Note: I named my record player bMary Peppersb because the first song ever played on it bThunder Road,b is to a girl named Mary, and the first complete album I listen to was my motherbs copy of Sgt. Peppers, hence, Mary Peppers.) After the first three songs, I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten over the yearsbI canbt listen to Joni Mitchell in succession. Put her on a mixtape, shebs usually the highlight. Compare her to all the other female singer-songwriters of her day, and therebs no question shebs better than all of them (sorry Carole King, but its true). But for some reason, I canbt listen to her beautiful voice for more than about 2 songs in a row. This situation has led me to create the Joni Mitchell Phenomenon. To put it simply, the Joni Mitchell Phenomenon is when you enjoy an artistbs work, but you do not enjoy listening to his/her/their entire albums from start-to-finish, however, when compared to similar artists, you enjoy this particular artistbs songs much more than his/her/their counterparts. And the Joni Mitchell Phenomenon is something most of us experience, but certainly with different artists. Joni may do this to me, but some Mitchell fans out there might hate having to listen to her on mixtapes and can only SOLELY listen to her (webll get to this phenomenon in a minute). Itbs different for everybody. For me, other artists in the Joni Mitchell Phenomenon are Brian Wilson, Bright Eyes, Spoon, Beck, Elton John, Bonnie bPrinceb Billy, and Sufjan Stevens. The main reason I use the term bphenomenonb when describing this situation is because therebs really no valid explanation for your choices. Some artists tend to sing similar-sounding songs (Bonnie bPrinceb Billy) which may make them a part of this phenomenon, but at the same time, there are a couple of other artists (Iron and Wine and The Arctic Monkeys) that make very similar-sounding songs as well and I can listen to their albums all day. Itbs just an odd circumstance music fans go through. But itbs not the only one. We also have the exact opposite of the JMP, which Ibve decided to title the Kurt Cobain Phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs when you cannot listen to an artist in succession with any other artistbs music. You can either listen to their albums, or a mix of just THAT particular artist. As you can probably tell by the title, I feel most strongly about this with Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. (Note: While Ibd probably put both Nevermind and MTV Unplugged in New York in my top 100 all-time favorite albums, I probably only listen to either of them once every two years or so. To me, the only time I can ever listen to Nirvana is after watching a documentary or reading a book/article about the band. I find them to be the most historically stuck band in the history of music. Every other great artist seems to be able to be listened to years and years later, but somehow, you can never really listen to Nirvana. I know a lot of people who love music. I know a lot of them who love Nirvana. I donbt know anyone who consistently listens to them, though. They may eventually reach the b classic rockb stations, but for now, theybre just this memory of an extraordinary moment that happened in music.) Regardless, Nirvanabs weird time wedge is related only to them, not the phenomenon itself. There are plenty of artists that I actively listen to, although when I do, I solely listen to them, and no one elsebBruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Ryan Adams, The National, and The Hold Steady all fall into this category for me. They never seem to fit on any mixes, I find myself skipping over their song when listening to whatever said mix I tried to put them on. I canb t even make a bProtest Songsb mix because I feel weird leaving Bob Dylan off of it, but if I tried to put bMasters of Warb on there, I know Ibd skip it every time. And why is this exactly? In the end, I think these phenomenon come down solely to personal experience, especially the KCP artists. These artists seem to be the ones you go through intense phases with, where at some point in your life, you listened to nothing but that particular artist, and somehow, in some weird psychological way, it makes you not want to share that artist with any others on some sort of mix as a way of respecting the sanctity of that phase in your life. And maybe the JMP artists are the people youbve tended to overlook as the years have gone by, only to be sitting in a park in Paris, France when you hear bThe Last Time I Saw Richardb and in the moment, you get Joni Mitchell. Maybe you gave up on Pet Sounds after the fourth song because the repetition of Brian Wilsonbs voice drove you crazy, but when bSloop John Bb came on in your buddybs car, you realized how damn good it really was. Regardless, the music we love tends to find us in one shape or another, whether it ends up as the highlight of a mixtape or something you can only listen to when you want to relive 1993.

Be careful what you wish for - this full moon wants to prove its power to you with manifestation. *Stimulants and aphrodisiacs are most effective on the Full Moon - everything that nourishes the body is taken in, expands and works better at this time, including herbs and vitamins. *Full Moons are notorious for producing more emergency room visits, births, and violent crimes. They don't call 'em LUNATICS for nothing. Blood flows easiest at this time, as well - so no surgeries or dental work are advised *If you have a problem with moodiness or restlessness around the full moon, make sure you are not sleeping directly in the moonlight, even inside your room *Children conceived in the moonlight may be crazier, and prone to sleep-walking - -Monika NP: Sweet Bird (I love, love, love this song!)-Joni ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. - --------------------------------- Looking for a deal?

That being said, what > is everyone's opinion on the album? Yay. Although I put it on my list of 3 albums I might leave out of an mp3 collection if I were in a hurry, I do love the album. Just be prepared for some real jazz. Nothing "smooth jazz" about it. I got the album for a birthday present in 1979, and I still hear new things when I listen to it.

Well put and I agree, Michael. I believe there are accounts of Mingus seeking out Joni for the album, very probably in http://www.jonimitchell.com/library/ Lori Santa Rosa, CA ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2007 23:56:36 -0400 (EDT) From: "Gerald A.
