["Les Irvin" Subject: Re: Pop Song in TV commercial, recurring thread njc yeah that song had a cool atmospheric feel to it. That's one of those zap-back songs - just zaps your head back to 1972 or whenever it was. And since it isn't one of the songs form back then that's been played much in the interim, it comes off fresh and makes you feel fresh. And not all rotten and old, lol...kidding. Well, maybe not. :) Em - --- On Thu, 1/14/10, Jim L'Hommedieu wrote: From: Jim L'Hommedieu Subject: Pop Song in TV commercial, recurring thread njc To: joni@smoe.org Date: Thursday, January 14, 2010, 10:41 PM Tonight I saw a Chase Bank advert on the telly that used a heavily edited Yes song in the background.

Yours Is No Disgrace 2. The Clap 3. Starship Trooper 4. I've seen All Good People 5. A Venture 6. Perpetual Change Many's the time I'd play the whole thing (I had it on cassette), rewind it, and play it all over again. I love it as much now as I did then.

Well I for one certainly tweaked at the mention of Nerina Pallot's name! I posted about her a few years ago, when my son mentioned Nerina's song "Sophia" to me. It had struck him how "Joni Mitchell-like" that song was, and when I gave it a listen I had to admit that I too felt it was a song that could have been written by Joni. I'm really talking about the music, the chords etc, more than about the lyrics which are simpler than Joni's, though not a million miles away in spirit. It also pleased me no end, of course, that my son had enough of a feeling for Joni's music to hear similarities or influences! You can give the song a listen yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC-Q2rrlZcM I just listened to the radio programme you mentioned, via the "listen again" facility on the BBC website. If anybody wants to do the same, here it is, just scroll down to 9.30 Ken Bruce, Nerina's choice is somewhere in the last 20 minutes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/programmes/schedules She sounds like a really nice intelligent girl. She chose Carey and said it was "the song that shaped her life". I liked the way she described how, at the age of 12, she was struck by the lines in Carey about going to Amsterdam or Rome, and having flowers in her room. She decided there and then that this is how she wanted to lead her life. The DJ, Ken Bruce, rather annoyed me, saying almost as a criticism that Joni Mitchell (like Steely Dan) is a "musicians' musician", implying that the general public don't know or care for them. It would have been different if he had said it as a compliment, i.e. that Joni and Steely Dan are so good that most musicians are fans. But no, he said it almost as if it was a problem, as if Madonna or Michael Jackson had to be the norm. But Nerina answered that very well, she said that people like Joni and Dylan are the ones that will stay. And I almost saw her wink at Mr Muller as she said that Joni had lots of her songs covered! All the best, Lieve in London - ---------- Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2010 23:38:48 +0000 From: William Waddell Subject: Tracks of Nerina Pallot's Years On BBC Radio 2 this Friday, Nerina Pallot (who?) chooses a Joni song as one of the Tracks of [Her] Years. As always, I'm intrigued as to what people say about Joni. Available afterwards on iPlayer, if you miss it.
