Volume 178 Happy weekend, everyone - pretty balmy here in SC and I don't mind it a bit. Certainly doesn't feel like Christmastime, and the only snowmen we see here are the tacky ones you have to inflate. But enough of that silliness - I'm here to talk COVERS. And another brand-new release coming to you this time...volume #178 with a stocking stuffed with audible goodies. If you're looking for some different River's to throw into your holiday playlists, look no further as I have FIVE included here. As I predicted, River has left BYT in the dust as the #2 Joni cover. They ran neck and neck all year, but this holiday season the ditty pulled a Usain Bolt and dashed away, dashed away all to take a substantial lead, just as I predicted. Iain Matthews does a nice acapella unplugged take on Woodstock - he was, of course, the leader of Matthews' Southern Comfort who had a big hit with the tune decades ago. Don't blame me for Throwing Stuff's BYT - Les Irvin pointed me to it; although I will confess that I love the anarchistic punkishness. Leoni Jansen's River, meanwhile, is fragile and beautiful like an ornament, and original too. Curtis Nowosad offers up a lovely jazz piano take on My Old Man, proving once again (as if we needed proof) that nearly all of Joni's melodies stand on their own. Here you are: http://goo.gl/phQTVc 1. Leoni Jansen - River 2. Curtis Nowosad - My Old Man 3. Maria Laura Bigliazzi Jazz Quartet - A Case Of You 4. Karen Basset - Big Yellow Taxi 5. Shadows And Light - River 6. Shadows And Light - Conversation 7. Inga Rumpf - How Do You Stop 8. Ilaria Biagini - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat 9. The Wilderness of Manitoba - River 10. Trine Hanssen - The Dry Cleaner From Des Moines 11. Elaine Poleri - A Case Of You 12. Tosi Poleri - A Case Of You 13. Carrie Mac - River 14. Iain Matthews - Woodstock 15. Suzanne Sheridan - Chelsea Morning 16. Suzanne Sheridan - The Circle Game 17. Ren Harvieu - River 18. Suzanne Sheridan - Blue 19. Throwing Stuff - Big Yellow Taxi 20. Travis Coombs - River 20 songs, 20 hits! Enjoy. Bob NP: Ilaria Biagini, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" (wonderful piano on this one) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2013 06:32:38 -0800 (PST) From: Bob Muller Subject: Re: Seeff HOSL session Me Me Me!

Also, I can't come close to bring able to afford a custom printed photo. I am seriously considering one of the art.com posters of her Vogue pic, though. Fess up.

I know you don't put some covers up because the sound quality isn't very good, but this time Throwing Stuff's BYT was the worse cover I've ever heard. I thought punk was bad when it was "cool". This takes the cake. I might as well sing BYT and let you put it on a covers CD. LOL I sure agree with you in regards to the dutch singer Leoni Jansen. She has such a beautiful voice, and puts a different spin on "River". My favorite of the bunch. I really liked Shadows and Light singing "River" and "Conversation", but couldn't find anything about them on the internet. It seems like it's getting more and more difficult to find any bio's about these singers these days. They are either on MySpace or some other website that gives no information about them. I did find out that Suzanne Sheridan won awards for doing tv commercial awards for some of the jingles she did. She does a fine job with "Chelsea Morning", "The Circle Game", and "Blue". Thanks as always Mr. Muller. Happy weekend to everyone! Jimmy ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2013 17:02:16 -0600 From: Michael Paz Subject: Re: It's Coming On Covers!

We're always open to new music, and we will be signing a wide variety of artists. If anyone on the list has friends who are unsigned and think our label might be a good fit, they're welcome to contact me! Below is a truncated version of our press release that outlines the philosophy of our label, and gives links to music by some of the artists we've signed. Joni listers may be especially interested in the beautiful acoustic work of Erik MacQueen and the fascinating Allen Ginsberg opera by Elodie Lauten. Best, David Buddhist Army is a new Brooklyn-based label and lifestyle brand founded by Steven Hall of Arthurs Landing and DJ David Marine, friends since their days at Columbia University. Buddhist Army is informed by the musical spirit of Arthur Russell -- the late, great Downtown NYC genius singer/songwriter and virtuoso cellist who worked with experimental pop (The Sailboats) modern classical modes (The Singing Tractors) and seminal projects with disco and deep house (Loose Joints, Dinosaur L). Our wide-ranging and often leftfield musical vision embraces a variety of genres including modern classical, EDM, deep house, experimental, folk, and rock. Currently digital downloads of Arthurs Landings Miracle 2 (Remixes) are available exclusively on Beatport, where they are featured in the top ten new Indie House/Nu Disco category: http://www.beatport.com/release/miracle-2-remixes/1193621. Buddhist Army's first digisingle is Virgin Magnetic Material's NuDisco rework of Arthur's Landing performing Russell's plaintive I Want To Change My Life: http://buddhistarmy.11spot.com/i-want-to-change-my-life-virgin-magnetic-mater ial-remix-digital-singles.html. 2014 Projects Swedish Invasion, featuring Drop Out Orchestra 12 ft.

Ah treasures. Joni shit Joni shit!!!! >Best Paz I also recall, Michael, you selflessly shared those charts with me and, knowing you, probably others,too. Helped me tackle loads of Joni tunes. An act of true kindness and generosity. I still have them, though I don't play much these days. As for posters, mine on the wall is the WTRF cover poster which I won in a competition when Refuge of the Roads tour was on. I have surprised myself by NOT wanting to throw darts at it following the Alberta Ballet debacle. We still haven't heard anything about our tickets (I am SO glad we hadn't booked flights) and nothing seems to have appeared on the internet, yet. I am really very curious about it, though. Anyway, Happy Saturday everyone!

It's just another side of Joni that, from what I've gathered, is the side normally expressed through her painting. Hi Shari and all, I love the video of Joni dancing to Dancing Clown in her kitchen. The song reminds me of the Dancing Clown music boxes. Here 's a cute one: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9v2xjvNUWvA The variety of tastes on this list makes it interesting. And Joni is never boring to me so there isn't a song of her's that I don't like. I have no expectations of what Joni should or shouldn't do artistically. I did at one time and then Wild Things Run Fast came out broke me of it. Joni's music has been a vehicle for me to grow in many ways as has been this list. Both y'all and Joni have taken me to places inside of myself as well as in relationships and geography and art that I never would have gone otherwise. If I had one phrase to sum up this experience of things Joni, I would say "life giving/enriching." I look forward to the ballet when it is finally ready and on. I hope to be able to go then and see you all. I miss you.

The one of her with her smoking a fag from the front and from behind is behind my piano. The others are in my studio. Also in a place of honor on the side of my piano is the Jack Merkel original using her lyrics as brushstrokes. I also used this foto on the PazFest CD release in 2000. I also have a ton of Joni Shit in my studio on the walls that include: The placard from her dressing room which is her name written in glitter. This is from the artists against hunger and homelessness show when she played with Jimmy Buffets band. This is the night I danced with her cheek to cheek to the music of the Neville Bros. GUSH! I also have several fotos sent to me by JMDL friends from the BSN tour (Hi David I miss you). I also have a full size poster of the TNT tribute up in my studio. There is a whole trunk full of stuff that I have collected over the years but just don't have enough space for. Freda accuses me of having altars, whatever.... One of my treasures is copies of handwritten charts with lyrics and notes in her hand that were given to me by the ever sweet John Kelly who also sent me a signed pic of him dressed up in Joni drag as well as a flight case for my VG-8 and a signed copy of his book.

He embraced pacifism, then violence, then pacifism again. He was a quiet man, but he never shied away from the press. He studied both communism and democracy.
