Anybody notice these before or have anymore? Best Paz Great mistakes on record that make you wonder "How did the producer allow that to happen?" 1. "Green Manalishi" by Fleetwood Mac. Just at the end of the instrumental break, Peter Green seems to think he's finished it and plays the chord for the introduction to the next verse before realising he has another bar to play 2. "I saw her again last night" by the Mama and Papas. Just before the start of the last verse, Denny Doheny comes in too early so you hear him sing "I saw her" before they all chime in with "I saw her again last night". 3. "Please please me" by the Beatles. At the start of the last verse, you can hear John Lennon garble the words "Why do you never even try girl" as he nearly forgets what to sing and Paul McCartney has to rescue him. 4. (My favourite) "Here they come" by Jan and Dean on the TAMI show. "Those Rolling Stones from Liverpool are gonna be there" Exile on Penny Lane?

It's funny, because when asked what my favorite Joni Mitchell album is, I always say Hejira without hesitating. But if you ask me which one I play the most, DJRD wins hands down. From the instrumental Overture preceding Cotton Avenue with that thundering bass note of Jaco's (one of my favorite notes of all time - I always turn it up to 11 to hear that one), to the hallucinatory imagery and duality of the title track, to the final pronouncement of "In my dreams we fly!", and all the bits of wonder and amazement in between, this is music that sets me free. It's also something I can listen to regardless of the mood I'm in, which isn't always the case with Joni's music. I've seen Joni in concert about a dozen times, and my one disappointment is never seeing her perform DJRD (the song). Lyrically and musically I think this one song represents Joni at her creative peak. How I wish her and Jaco had more time together.

How bout Volume 2? Okay. I have to weigh in on this recording. It took me a while to order it, and then it took me a while to get around to playing it, but wow, this recording is something special. The Jungle Line and Dreamland are my two favorites, but everything on here is an absolute keeper. What Robin and the Mutts do with The Jungle Line is nothing short of amazing, and in my opinion it even surpasses the original recording (which is saying something). There's a sinister element to Robin's signing on this song that just takes it to another level. In my opinion, this one song is worth the price of admission. Right behind TJL is Dreamland, which again may exceed the original recording. The band is just smoking on this cut, and when they sing "Propped up on a samba beat", I go crazy every time. Everything else is also top notch - just familiar enough to feel like an old friend, but just different enough to feel fresh and new. I'm already waiting for Safaris - Volume 2. Here's my song list of things I would like to see covered (in no particular order). The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines The Wolf that Lives in Lindsey Shiny Toys Banquet (The WTRF Tour version) Black Crow DJRD Trouble Child In France They Kiss on Main Street Shine Turbulent Indigo The Beat of Black Wings I wish I could have seen the recent show. Maybe someday Robin and the Mutts will make it out to Chicago.

That's her too, underneath the Indian garb. The shooting sessions were upbeat, with Joni trying on different dresses and dancing around while Norman Seeff clicked away. When he asked for another change of clothes, he hardly recognized the black character that strutted from the dressing room five minutes later. "At that point, I realized I really enjoy character acting," she says. Working again with the Camera Lucida (Lucy) machine, Joni arranged the photos agreed upon from the sessions: she blew up the shot of her as the black guy and put it in the foreground; she liked the spirit of the shot with the top hat because it symbolized what she felt was the 'magic' on the album; and she included the shot of a kid who'd been in a session for a previous album. "He was shy and had never danced before, that's why he's looking at his feet," she says. But to her, the elements were not "homogenized" enough to be the final cover shot. When she noticed a postcard of a nude with a Mickey Mouse hat and balloons on a bulletin board she felt it was "the element that was like the cherry on the pudding that makes the whole thing come together." She worked it onto the dress, partly obscuring the pubic area and figure of Mickey Mouse (for legal reasons), I added the birds, and then had an airbrusher smooth over the edges of all the photos. She then selected the background colors from the options presented by Glen Christensen, who, she says, has a "wonderful knowledge of inks." According to Joni, most reviews of the album missed its point: "Basically it has to do with turning your back on America and heading into the Third World...at the time Muslims were messing around in Washington, there were radical tensions. I was disillusioned. The songs on the album have a lot of ethnic references and there's a certain sentimentality for the North American Indian."

There is an edge to Robin's voice on 'The Jungle Line' that is perfect for the song. More intense than Joni's vocal on THOSL. > Everything else is also top notch - just familiar enough to feel like an > old friend, but just different enough to feel fresh and new. Very well put.
