But I haven't joined JMDL at that time so, sorry if this has been posted before. I found this on wikipedia : In April 2006, for the Sun newspaper, Melua chose fourteen pieces of her favourite music that she enjoyed and had the biggest musical influence on her.. The pieces she chose were Paul Simon's "Hearts and Bones", Jeff Buckley's version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", Joni Mitchell's "Marcie", Bob Dylan's "Masters of War", James Taylor's "How Sweet It Is (to Be Loved by You)", Chuck Berry's "No Particular Place to Go", Portishead's "Glory Box", Bjvrk's "The Pleasure Is All Mine", Camille's "Au Port", Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name", Bobbie Gentry's "Fancy", Finley Quaye's "Even After All", Suzanne Vega's "Caramel" and Babyshambles' "Fuck Forever".[54] Of all Joni's great songs, she chose Marcie. A quite unique pick. Rian NP.

I should have known that my fellow Red Hot Chili Peppers fan would be into this turbo-charged rocker. I was incredibly surprised as Todd's career arc has been inconsistent, and Liars was so strong I was figuring that Arena would be a bit of a turkey. I love it when I'm wrong like that.

I only saw the first hour of the show. Kate Beckinsale was on? I love her! Why was she on the Grammys? She's one of my favorite actresses. I thought Jennifer Hudson was great. But I thought the sound for the whole show kinda sucked. It was hard to hear the singers. In Carrie Underwood's case, however, I think that was a good thing. With people like Al Green, though, it was a bad thing.

However, she's also starting to look more like Dionne Warwick, I thought, whereas I never saw a resemblance before. I was wondering about the sound - whether it was just a problem with our satellite signal or what. We'd get split seconds of sound cutting out all together, and not just bleeping out of swear words. I actually kind of liked the teaming of older artists with younger ones, but I agree that Al Green should have had at least equal time with Justin T. McCartney still has a great voice and can still hit those high notes, which is amazing. I don't get the Jonas Brothers at all, but then again, I'm not 12. Stevie Wonder didn't get enough time on vocals either, but maybe he just wanted to be nice to the kids. - --- On Tue, 2/10/09, Mark Scott wrote: Yeah, Whitney looked higher than a kite.

She will be missed. In my world, her versions of 'Someone to watch over me' and 'Manhattan' have yet to be bettered. And knowing how many thousands of versions are out there in the market, that is saying a lot about the minimalist artistry of Blossom Dearie. Check out her hilarious song 'Someone's been sending me flowers'. I laugh everytime she sings this. I have not heard of her version of BSN yet.

I am more of a George Harrison fan so I am not really big with PM, his Wings forays, his oratorios, his albums, but he sings quite well.

He did some old songs (but not the ones you'd expect, except maybe "I Saw The Light"), a couple off Liars, a couple of obscure covers that suited his 4-piece band and some deep tracks from his own catalogue. Laurent also saw him recently but did not enjoy it from what I recall. While I haven't always gotten into all of his projects, I have always admired his ability (like Joni) to stick to HIS vision and be independent, not to mention being virtually a one-man band and an excellent studio whiz & producer besides.

What a fantastic voice! So her is 19 and doing teen songs - she is a teen for God's sake - to hear that voice, all I do is look forward to her growing up and what she does with that gift, she has a fantastic future already shown by doing some sick covers (note: sick = great, wow, unexpected and super) in her concerts. Now I realize that I have never grown up, but one of the things I like about myself most is that I am very open to new music and don't have to put down "the kids" just because they aren't what we grew up with - come on people, you have become your parents in the worst ways - putting down new stuff in rote while you live in old days - "you call that music? that's just noise - back in my day..." - give me a break -- why not embrace the old as well as the new? Its like we can't like James Taylor unless we put down Justin Timberlake? That is an old way of thinking. Justin Timberlake is fantastic by the way. No, he is not Al Green. Al Green is Al Green. I don't expect everyone to copycat the past in pale imitation. Justin Timberlake is Justin Timberlake and he puts out amazing music and I am sure Al Green learns from Justin Timberlake and Justin Timberlake learns from Al Green - as it should be. the words "people try and put us down, just because we get around, things they do look awful cold, hope I die before I get old, talking about my generation" is a timeless truth always new again in each generation, not the cement that one entombs oneself in It was too damn bad Rihanna was not there - she is one of my new favorites and I could listen to her sing all day - joy is finding something new, not living in the past - but for those who are ready to move into the senior citizen home, I suppose being cranky about all things news is fun, huh? So cool to high five the other oldsters with new put downs of the kids? Maybe I wouldn't be this harsh if I could read these posts and outside of Joseph and Bob, not be able to see the generational gap as vivid and clearly as it is in other posts. The chasm is clearly age - and what some people will not listen to, do not listen to, or listen with all the objectivity of my father who could not wait to put something down because nothing was music but what was done back in his day.

One is the McGarrigle hour, so is more of a family affair. I can't remember the name of the other,but it's in Franch. I'd like to get my hands on some more. Any advice? >>> Kate mcGarrigle performed on Elvis Costello's show Spectacle with her son, Rufus Wainwright a couple of weeks ago, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Martha Wainwright was a guest on Graham Norton, a British talk-show which airs on BBC-America regularly. Martha shared the stage with Mickey Rourke and held her own against his lecherous advances!

Submitted by: jbro on 01-23-2009 05:00 am Lovely Thank you so much for these super thoughtful comments. I keep thinking of that Joni Mitchell song: "I'm always running behind the times, just like this train, shaking in to town with the brakes complaining." I hate being a sourpuss, so I really am taking my foot off the brakes! There is so much positive happening out there. So many amazing things that this connectivity gives us. It's the connection to VALUE that keeps slipping away. I think it's always been a bit sad that the biggest most loyal audience out there (adults) is so ignored and so hard to get to. NPR seems really the best avenue. And the big record companies have just continued to shoot themselves in the foot chasing teens with cash and promises, and ignoring the richness of the rest of the landscape. The big execs are going down with the ship (and their ridiculous salaries) and sadly taking us all with them. But out of the wreck, who knows what will rise. I took that amazing miracle in the Hudson River as a sign, there's something good coming. jb Read the whole thing here: http://www.jonathabrooke.com/jonatha/journal/2009_01_20/ Jonatha is one of my faves and she is finally coming to my (new) home town of Asheville in April. A certain Bob from SC will be driving up to see her with me (and the other 18 folks I bought the first 20 tickets available for). Looking forward to seeing BOTH/ALL of them!!! ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:31:56 -0600 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: Joni Mention on Jonatha Brooke Site Give her my love. I invited her to come see the band in NYC in early April and she said she thought she was gonna be out on the road. I agree with her. No need for being a poo poo head at this time. Hope and promise are so intertwined "at this juncture". Luv Paz On Feb 10, 2009, at 6:28 PM, Phyliss Ward wrote: De-lurking to share this quote from Just Like This Train by Jonatha in her blog.

Grabster" Subject: Re: Kate & Anna McGarrigle njc The McGarrigle record you are thinking of could be French Record. As for another, I would recommend Love Over and Over. Mark Knopfler plays on the title cut. Then again, the early ones are good too... with songs like Heart Like a Wheel. ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2009 #48 **************************** ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:joni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe -------
