Not terribly exciting, really. But then I remembered taking the bus into Egham (Surrey, UK where lots of poor animals have just been culled due to foot and mouth) to wait for the record shop to open so I could get my copy of 'Clouds' on the day it came out. I was there when the shop opened and rushed home where I played it and played it and played it, thinking I was the ONLY ONE in the whole wide world who cared that much about her music. I felt so alone with this great love for Joni's music. Yet today, decades later, there you all are - examining the words, looking at the sentiment - it's really, really wonderful, to me. I am so moved to have another Joni record. I thought I'd never see the day. Joni, you and your fans ROCK!

I don't remember all of it because I had never heard her music before. But the sound was very sharp and rocky, wild and controlled at the same time. She reminded me of Patti Smith, her appearance and her voice. I get what Joseph says about it being a honey-edged alto. She can also sing in a very fragile voice, but it never became annoyingly girlish or brainless (I had read that she had worked with Jane Birkin, and I mistook that to mean Charlotte Gainsbourg with whom she, fortunately I think, had absolutely nothing in common). She was wearing tight jeans and bare shoulders with some sort of silver sleeves covering her upper arms, but there was something completely anti-glamorous about the whole outfit, it was more rock than babe so to speak. She is a tiny woman (ok this is Denmark, only the Dutch and the Islandic don't look tiny here!) with her long hair hanging flat down, just like Patti's. The way she seemed completely electrified and concentrated on her music and sharing it with us also reminded me of Patti (who I only saw once, on a tiny stage at the Tate Modern last year) She had played the same venue two years ago, and the audience absolutely loved her. The opening song, (a Frank Sinatra I didn't know) which really sounded great from the first chord, had them all roaring with applause. There was a drummer, a bass player and a pianist/banjo/guitar player; and she herself played various guitars and the piano. My friend noticed she played the solos herself, I didn't know there was anything extraordinary about that. I don't really remember many of the songs, the quiet ones were generally the ones I liked the least, although one of them was quite mesmerizing. There was one that you might know, Joseph, my friend said it opens one of her albums, and it's completely messy, at times they just clap their hands, at times you think they are getting started on some rhythmic little country-theme, but it goes away as soon as it starts. It was great. The one song that was worth it ALL and that I would have liked to live in for a few hours so to speak was her cover of Nina Simone's See-line woman. It was barely recognizable, she had messed it all up, but it just sounded great. I wish I could remember exactly what happened, but I really can't, except she did amazing things with her voice, using it like an instrument at the end. I felt it was a minus, and so did my friend (a singer-songwriter herself), that it was hard to hear the words of her songs. But my friend said it's the same on the CDs, and that she suspected that she in fact does not attach too much importance to the lyrics. They only played a little more than one hour, one third of the concert being extras. We missed Bob Wiseman so it was a short concert. I'm planning to swap Herbie and Joni for a couple of my friend's Feist-cds next week. Should help guard against me going shine crazy! I'll get them back though, my friend's a Rickie LJ, not Joni person. That's my review! I haven't seen anything about the concert in the papers today.

B ======= Thought some folks out there might find this interesting. These are shows that are produced here in Albuquerque. The last one I heard was quite good, so it might be worth a listen if you are a Joni fan. The Emergence of Joni Mitchell Wednesday, Oct. 3 from 1:30 - 4:00 pm Mountain Time on KUNM (89.9 FM / or listen online at www.kunm.org ( http://www.kunm.org> )). ..a two-hour examination of one of the most heralded songwriters of her time, Joni Mitchell. In this third installment of his series on the seminal work of important figures in popular music, Ingles and guest commentators explore how Joni Mitchell crafted her artistry and connected with audiences over four decades. Mitchell put the experience of being a woman and being human on artful display through her blatantly honest and confessional lyrics, innovative open guitar tunings and jazz-inflected vocals. The program focuses on Mitchell's key releases to illuminate the musicianship of the woman Rolling Stone called "one of rock's most daring and uncompromising innovators." By mixing Mitchell's music from these pivotal moments with informed commentary from musicians, fans, music critics and archival interviews with Mitchell herself, The Emergence of Joni Mitchell articulates what music lovers have found so compelling about this thoughtful and innovative writer and performer. Special guests include music writers Ann Powers, Anthony DeCurtis, Paul Zollo, Lydia Hutchinson, and Holly George-Warren. Also featured are musicians Shawn Colvin, Lucy Kaplansky, Herbie Hancock and others. Joni Mitchell's first album with new songs in over 10 years has just been released.

You know, I have to say that while I love DED and the social commentary on that album, I am just getting tired of the whole "the world is a hell and everyone and everything is to blame." And I know that that is a sweeping statement, so please don't react to it. But what I mean is, I am not necessarily looking for songs of passionate love, but just maybe her take of love/sex/dating/relationships/solitude/whatever at this point of her life. And as I myself age and realize that I am closer to 40 than I am to 30 now, the lines from "Nothing Can Be Done" really hit home with me (I know most people, Muller included, hated that one), especially the "I am not old, I'm told/But I am not young" and the "must I surrender with grace what I loved when I was younger" bit. Anyway, after we have been privy to so much of her life through song, I'd love to h ear her thoughts and feel her emotions, especially now that she has lost her mother, and is single, and has a complicated relationship with her daughter, what regrets she has, what she looks forward to, and all of that. I know the world can be a hell. I know that some people are greedy and shallow. I know that the business sucks. But what about the rest of it? I think that is what I long for. Not so much the love songs, but the life songs. But she's at the piano again, so that almost makes up for it! Rob ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2007 02:02:05 +0200 (CEST) From: Joseph Palis Subject: RE : NJC Feist Thanks for the review, Bene. Through your review I was visualizing how Feist moved onstage and how she carried herself. I like your descripton of anti-glamor outfit. When she performed in Carrboro last year, she was also in tight jeans and a kind of shiny top that is hard to describe without avoiding clumsy parallels. She had a duet with Jane Birkin where their voices come together in that exciting and delicious way -- heady stuff for me. Two mezzos. She did a slow and deconstructed version of the Bee Gees' "Love You Inside and Out" in her two albums and I love the way her stark voice caresses lovingly and even tremblingly the words and melody. I am not sure if the slow songs she did were songs Blossom Dearie sang like "Tout Doucement" (Patti P. help my non-Francophone spelling) and "Now at Last" but I like the way she sang them in her album. Did she sing "One Evening"? That is my favorite track. When she sang it live here, she forgot the lyrics and had the audience feed her her own lyrics. Funny. Then someone shouted "Just sing whatever words come to your mouth" to howls of applause. If I may digress I remembered how RLJ forgot the lyrics of the song of Dylan and had the audience feed her the lyrics while she sang it. Staccato style -- awaiting the words from the audience and singing the words belatedly. Lastly, I kinda like Charlotte Gainsbourg as an actress and as a singer. I have her "5:55" album and I like it. She has this breathy style reminiscent of the style of her mother -- the 60s'-era Jane Birkin -- but I like these type of singing alright. I can't wait to listen to her messed-up version of Nina Simone's "See-Line Woman". Maybe she can include "Sugar in my Bowl" next time in her repertoire. I think "My baby just cares for me" is also a good one for her to sing. Thanks again for the review, Bene.

I like New Moon Daughter -- my first album of Cassandra that introduced me to her artistry. I like her version of "Skylark" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry". I also like "A Little Warm Death" and its almost primeval chanting at the end of the song. I like that kind of group singing that is almost a capella. Cassandra also multi-tracked her voice in "Sankofa" from her "Blue Light Til Dawn" album that had her deepest vocal register mingling beautifully with her other voices in different keys. Much as I consider myself a fan of hers, I however didn't really like her early period where she allied herself with the M-Base movement in New York. I like Steve Coleman and the syncretism of black music that they want to re-imagine in this movement but Cassandra's outputs outside of that group is better IMO. Excepting "Blue Skies" which is a kind of aberration of an album for her to make in that early period, I didnt quite like all her early stuff -- "Jumpworld" and "Dance to the Drums Again" being the worst offenders. All her albums post-"Blue Light Til Dawn" are delightful listens for theis pair of ears. She really can reinvent the standards like the best of the singers in the Betty Carter school of singing. It is nice to see her try newer material and sing them in the setting that brings out the beauty of her voice this side of Erda. Love her duet with India.Arie in "Belly of the Sun".

I have to force myself to play any other music, and everything else pales by comparison. I love her singing on this record; I love the piano. The music is beautiful and memorable. The title tune makes me teary, and it's not even about the words - it's just the melody and the voice that breaks my heart a little. The lyrics? Not so great, not nearly at the level of Hejira or DJRD. I'm accustomed to social commentary that's more nuanced and more poetic (Bruce Cockburn, for example). On the other hand, I don't turn to Joni for political analysis, and she does manage a line or two that has some beauty in it. It seems that in this record Joni is all heart (or all nerves and feelings, maybe), and so the wordsmith part of her is scaled back. I'm luxuriating in the sounds, and have I mentioned I love her singing on this record? BTW, just got my Herbie Hancock record yesterday, and haven't absorbed it yet, but Joni's singing on Tea Leaf Prophecy is head and shoulders above her performance on CMIARS. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deb Messling -^..^- dlmessling@rcn.com http://www.sensibleshoes.vox.com - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 21:15:12 EDT From: Motitan@aol.com Subject: NJC Quote Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. - -Mahatma Gandhi ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Oct 2007 18:22:54 -0700 From: "Lindsay Moon" Subject: Night of the Iguana (The Movie) I found the movie "Night of the Iguana" will be showing on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 8 a.m. if any of you want to record it.

I'll keep an eye out for it. http://www.tcmdb.com/title/title.jsp?stid=3429 Lindsay - -----Original Message----- From: Catherine McKay [mailto:anima_rising@yahoo.ca] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 7:14 PM To: Lindsay Moon; joni list Subject: Re: Night of the Iguana (The Movie) I've put in a request to the library to borrow it and I think it's on its way. I tried to get "White Banners" too. They have the book but not the film, so I've ordered the book. - --- Lindsay Moon wrote: > I found the movie "Night of the Iguana" will be showing on TCM (Turner > Classic Movies) on Thursday, Oct. 4 at 8 a.m. if any of you want to > record it.

On this tape was my version of "That Song About the Midway." I was 20 and, well, on medication, but I think it's pretty ok despite wavering vocals.

Shine is a fine, fine album. As I've stated before, Joni has never done a bad album in my opinion and I learn something about life from each one. She is a voice of a generation and she has important things to say. I believe though, the thing that really brought Joni to our hearts is her personal exploration of the human condition and made people stop and think about themselves. She still makes people think but, now she wants us to think about our responsibility to each other and the planet we call home. It's valid and it's worthwhile. What I miss though, from her past three albums is that personal stuff. Maybe lessons in love but also her self analysis. Getting old doesn't mean there is nothing or little left to learn. You're fooling yourself if you think so. I've always said that the answer to life is a question. When you run out of questions, you run out of life and of course, when you run out of life, you run out of questions. Joni doesn't seem to be asking questions anymore. Naiveti can be beautiful just as simplicity can be. It's OK to be angry and to motivate people into action to improve our circumstances but it's most effective when it is tempered with some personal lessons too and not just feeling responsible for the planet. It's like someone once said about a good comedy; "people need to take a breath between laughs, otherwise, none of it gets in". My 2 cents.

I've NEVER bought an album based on what topic a songwriter was singing about and I doubt that people do that...pick up a CD, try and figure out the subject matter, and then decide whether or not to buy it. If any of you do engage in that kind of behavior I'd like to hear it. Besides, TTT's sales were not very impressive I'm sure, and she included lots of "Middle-age love songs" on it; Love Puts On A New Face, Crazy Cries, Stay In Touch, Man From Mars, and (sort of) Face Lift. I will be interested to see how the sales go for Shine, it seems to be getting much better exposure and reviews than TTT did. Bob NP: Tom Waits, "Bride of Rain Dog"> Actually, I do that, Bob. I can't say it's the case with every single CD I own but, generally, I am lyrically oriented and back in the days of going to CD stores, I ALWAYS listen before I decide to buy. Especially in the case of some like Joni (of course, I buy her CDs regardless because I have to have them all) whose known for her word art as well as music. Unless it's a dance beat, my main criteria for buying music is the lyrics.
