This passing on a bit of misinformation that becomes fact reminds me of when I was in college I would read back, bound issues of Rolling Stone in the library stacks (instead of studying) and RS at the year end issue of '75 called Hissing, "the worst album title of the year" For years Joni would say in the press that they called it "worst album of the year" until someone corrected her. Calling your album worst title of the year isn't very nice anyway. I remember when Joni said she played Hissing for Dolly Parton when it came out and Dolly said, in her southern accent, "my golly, if I ever thought that deep I'd scare myself to death" Joni talks a lot about pretense. There must be a certain line to her whereby a performer doing her is doing it with feeling and the proper emotion as opposed to someone "just singing" I remember her talking about British guys that sound like Bob Dylan and wondered if she was talking about Mark Knophler. He does sound like Dylan, but to me he dosen't seem to be copying him, but to her maybe it does and she dosen't like it.Everything I've heard is that Joni is super friendly and fun in conversation and yet fiercely intelligent. Kakki, I remember you discussing your encounter with her at the Daily Grill and how great it was. I had several trips to LA and went to the Grill (in the early afternoon, after her sleepy time) but she wasn't there. (The waitress said "oh, she comes here all the time, she' s a cool lady!) My favorite Joni thing in LA was going to the Baked Potato (where she met the LA Express). What a cool place! Nothing but baked potatos on the menu and outstanding music, down in the valley. I'd go there all the time. One of my favorite Joni covers is Sweet Honey in the Rock's Circle Game.JeffNP Imagine Dragons ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 15:23:57 +0000 From: "Susan E.

Hi, Listening to Joni's interesting and revealing interview on KCRW, I couldn't help but wonder why she's never done "Desert Island Discs" on BBC Radio ? Lots of her music has been chosen by other castaways all over the world. She'd be in good company if she did it. Perhaps she's never been invited ? Perhaps we need to lobby the BBC ? If you don't know anything about the programme, here's a link. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/desert-island-discs/find-a-castaway?occupation_group=music Cheers - Joe np Strung Out in Heaven - The Brian Jonestown Massacre - -- - -- Joe Jones ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 10:18:36 -0800 From: Dave Blackburn Subject: lossy compressed audio-NJC We have had many a thread on the matter of data compressed audio (also video) since I have been on this list. Someone has created a piece using ONLY the sounds and images removed from a Suzanne Vega track when turned into mp3 audio and an mp4 video. If you have ever wondered if there is much that goes missing when you take a CD track and rip it to mp3, now you can hear it for yourself. http://tinyurl.com/l3aweeo Dave ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:24:52 -0500 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Re: Joni - would be great to hear her choices and reasons on Desert Island Discs. Back in '83 she did BBC 1's "My Top 12", talking about her favorite tracks. She also released a CD for Starbucks called "Artist's Choice" which was sort of the same thing.

Yes, the magic of art/music that brings joy. Thanks, gene - -----Original Message----- From: Laurie Antonioli Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2015 10:30 PM To: JMDL Cc: joni-digest@smoe.org Subject: Re: JMDL Digest V2014 #1770 Ingrid, thank you so much for your kind words. The best we can hope for as artists is to do something that touches the listener in ways that deepens their life or creates a feeling that captures something universal. To give credit where credit is due on the whole record, it is the band as a unit that enabled me to sing in the style you hear - be it rhythmic, melodic or in the interpretation. Joni's songs are so evocative. Putting a jazz spin on her songs was very organic for us and came out of a group sound we already had before doing the record. With that said, your poetic words and insights, observations and perceptions are deeply appreciated.

She also wore the same outfit twice this year (another LA faux paux which I'm sure she hardly cares about) at the Hammer Museum event and at the Grammy party.

I'm speechless... Joni is so incredibly interesting!!! B She gives words to what is a challenge to express. B She paints a picture of concepts, and I can see. B My heart is full of gratitude. I need some help here... She talks about clothes and mentions a designer who has a clothing line that is B timeless and interchangeable like her music, a Japanese guy. B Who is this guy? I would love to see Joni create clothing. B She is so cool. I love the last question she answers about relationships and exploitation and narcissism and "undervaluing." B And it really isn't the fault of the men but the fault of the men who raised the men who raised the men, etc. B John Lennon's plea always comes to my mind when I think of this topic.
