Jamie Z ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 11:10:50 -0000 From: Jamie Zubairi Subject: Joni's Sign o' the times Dear Michael Goldstein Les Irwin from the JMDL website sent us your message which I thought I would reply to. I'm not entirely sure of what you mean by 'reflective of the times' but I assume it's about the issues of the day that artists feel strongly about enough to write. You may mean relfective of the spirit of the times (i.e. the sixties, the nineties etc.) Obvious 'issue' ones are: Sex Kills (Turbulent Indigo) Not To Blame ditto Borderline ditto Dog Eat Dog (the whole album) Lakota (Chalk Mark In A Rain Storm) No Apologies (Taming The Tiger) The Fiddle and The Drum (Clouds) Obvious 'spirit' ones are: Songs To Aging Children Come (Clouds) People's Parties (Court And Spark) The Reoccurring Dream (Chalk Mark...) The Hissing Of Summer Lawns (same name) Hope this is a good start for your paper. There are more but not ones that I can think of at the moment. Regards Jamie Zubairi ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 09:21:29 +0100 From: Roman Subject: Joni & Faye Faye Dunaway only started to look like Joni after she had her facelift. It help keep her looking beautiful but sadly she didn't look like the Faye Dunaway that melted a million hearts in Bonnie and Clyde, The Thomas Crown Affair, The Arrangement and Network anymore. It radically changed her entire face, for the worse. I hardly recognised her in Supergirl. Dunaway was HUGE in Hollywood in the late sixties, early seventies, really the only viable successor to Monroe - There was a vaccuum of star-quality actresses around her five years before and after she peaked. Sadly, all reports show her to be too much the prima donna and she burned out in a blaze of self regarding glory not long after Network and ChinaTown. These days Joni is by far the more natural beauty, ageing with grace and charm, and I'd bet my next paycheck that she's a lot more beautiful than Dunaway ever was on the inside.

Does anyone out there remember (or have) jazz pianist Judy Knapp's version of 'River'? It came out early 80's and she was classified as jazz. It was so beautiful- I had heard it on the radio, but subsequently forgot about it until I couldn't find it...and just hate that when that happens. So if anyone can play Santa to my Christmas list, I would appreciate it! You can email me privately... Thanks! Steve ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 09:44:52 -0500 From: Anne Sandstrom Subject: RE: Christmas music - yet another list (SJC) No, that's not it, but it sounds like it's closer than The Coventry Carol. (Good guess to whoever suggested it - but the Coventry Carol is track #9 on the same CD.) I think it might be an original song, based strongly on some traditional lyrics and even melody. Anne ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 10:01:56 -0500 From: Anne Sandstrom Subject: more Christmas music How could I forget "Gaudete" by Steeleye Span? (ok, so does anyone have the lyrics to this? I can actually translate some of the Latin - not something I'm proud of.... but other lyrics I don't get) Also, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" by Shawn Colvin and a French carol, "Il est ne" (yes, there should be an accent aigu over the e in ne, but I don't feel like figuring out how to do it right now...) also, "I Saw Three Ships" (I have a great version w/Native American flute, and guitar) and "Un Flambeau Jeanette Isabella" sigh, music is wonderful... Anne ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 10:22:33 -0500 (EST) From: Emily Kirk Gray Subject: Joni in City Island, NY no -- not in person, but her music... hi everyone, just thought i'd share this: when i was visiting my parents for thanksgiving, i spent about 3 days at their place in city island, which is a TINY shore town in the bronx, right on the water... a cute place. anyway, i was wandering with my mom through the small shops and we went into an art gallery called "the starving artist" (the name alone made me feel at home) and the first thing i heard (no, not a traffic song) was "my old man" over the store's speakers. i know this thread already passed, but it was the first time i think i've heard joni in public -- it was a strange, exhiliarating expericence! i said "nice music" to the owner and gave him a thumbs-up. then we started talking and he explained that it wasn't a CD playing, but this great radio station, WFUV, which is fordham university's public radio. they have this great program "city folk" and apparently play joni all the time. what's annoying is that i've tried to tune in many times (90.7 FM) but in brooklyn i just can't get it. anyway, they apparently were playing the "top 100 albums" of the century, and i happened to walk in on "blue"! i wish the store owner had remembered which number it was...and i'm sure C&S must have been up there. does anyone else know anything about this ranking? i think it's so cool to play entire albums on the radio! all in all, a lovely thanksgiving encounter -- and the store's art wasn't too bad, either! one tiny irritance, however: the store owner said the same old thing to me that i have to say i'm getting tired of hearing, "how did someone your age get into joni mitchell?" i'm 26 and frankly, i think that's kind of an inane question to ask...but i hear it all the time! i usually give my standard "she's such a great musician" answer but i think this question must stem from so many people thinking of JM only as a '60's folk singer...also, i was taught that it's kind of rude to mention ANYONE'S age to them in terms of making assumptions....oh well... - -- emily ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 11:04:10 -0500 (EST) From: "Gerald Notaro (LIB)" Subject: stereophile From John Atkinson's review of the new Yamaha@PET RP-U100 personal receiver (December 1999, p193): To give Yamaha credit, with the exception of the occasional effect on Sting's Soul Cage album, I have never been very sensitive to virtual surround techniques- even the much hyped QSound of a few years back failed to impress me. The shape of my ear pinnea must be too far from the norm, or at least from the models used by the auralization engineers. But as I write these words in the Stereophile office, I am listening to "Amelia," from Joni Mitchell's Painting With Words and Music DVD, the 5.1 Dolby Digital soundtrack fed to the Yamaha's optical input with AudioQuest's new TosLink cable and processed with the receiver set to Hall, the video fed with an S video connection to my Apple Studio Display. The experience of reproduced music has never approached this level of satisfaction before - at least at work!

Today's Sounds magazine says of Hejira: Timeless and majestic, this is the music for the spirit. Intellectual and inspired, this is music for the mind. Rhythmic and subtle, this is music for the body. The music of tomorrow, this is the tip of the iceberg. Don't hear this album. Listen to it. Read the rest at: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/sounds761127.htm Also today, Melody Maker reviews Hejira, saying "The qualification about this album's success stems indirectly, in fact, from the lyrics. "The Hissing Of Summer Lawns" was criticised in some quarters (thought not by me) for being purely a vehicle for her lyrics, a criticism, however, which has some application to "Hejira". This is the first Joni Mitchell record for which the song sheet is indispensable." Read the article at: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/mm761127.htm 1982: Today's New Musical Express isn't so kind to Wild Things Run Fast, saying "Because she does not have the gift of writing great dumb pop music. That's the only thing that would carry a trifle like "Wild Things Run Fast" itself. There is a persistent suggestion that she's slumming in the cheapest throes of dime-novel romance, and it's ludicrous that the progenitor of the scorched skyline of the "Hejira" set should want to settle for something so facile. This is a simplification, not a paring away." Read it at: http://www.jmdl.com/articles/nme821127.htm 1985: (From Wally's bio page): The video for the first single "Good Friends" premiered on MTV [today]. It was directed by Jim Blaschfield, who had found fame with his video for the Talking Heads "And She Was," by inserting color xerox images that move independently within the live action. The premiere of "Good Friends" was announced with some fanfare by MTV VJ Mark Goodman: "Joni Mitchell-at last!", but the video received only light airplay for the next 2 months. - -------- Know a date or month specific Joni tidbit?

Yes, at last! This is such a tough movie to find here in the UK. Indeed, it's never been given a retail release. I had to ask a US net-friend to get me a copy. Quite simply, I loved it. Though I cannot attest to its authenticity as regards how accurately it evokes and recaptures the times it portrays, it made for an often enthralling 2 hours. What really impressed me most was the music. All original material (pastiches, I suppose) specially written for the movie, or so I gather. Joni's Man From Mars, of course, was a highlight...and I liked the "alternate" arrangement it was given. In the comparitvely barren 90s (as far as the quality of mainstream bubblegeum pop is concerned), I rejoiced in the seemingly endless stream of marvellous songs featured. The film did a wonderful job of capturing the magic and energy that goes into creating a tune, any tune. Those were my favourite moments. The two songs that really had my jaw dropping to the floor were the first version of God Give Me Strength (with Illeana Douglas performing while Matt Dillon looked on), and the closing Grace Of My Heart. They are the most staggeringly beautiful and powerful songs I have heard in a long while. Can anyone who has the soundtrack tell me which songs featured in the movie are actually included? Though I am now compelled to search out the CD anyway, it would be helpful to know which ones made it onto the album. Jason.

If anyone wants photocopies of all or part of any of these, let me know. (Send me an email privately.) As long as I can be reasonably assured that they're out of print (and I believe they are), I don't have any qualms about copying them. If the publishers wanted to make any more money of them, they could just reprint them, couldn't they? Actually, a fellow listed pointed me to this website a while back: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/a/phrase.html?id=11890&phrase=Joni%20Mitchell where they have a number of Joni books for sale. At one time, I went in there, and they had Hejira and I was going to order it, but my credit card was maxed out at the time, and the last time I checked, they didn't seem to have it any more. Damn. I've ordered Turbulent Indigo, TTT and Hits & Misses (because of a few songs that I don't have elsewhere and after all, these are apparently in tab/open tunings version) but haven't rec'd them yet. I'll let you know once I do what kind of service I got from them (and if it's lousy, maybe a kvetch letter is in order - who knows what kind of freebies they might have? honestly, I wouldn't write a complaint letter frivolously just to get free stuff.

And there is only one word for it..... Wow! What a great job they've done, exceptional. Not a hint of tape hiss, and the impression that at times you are sitting right next to her on stage. Top marks for technical achievement go to 'Rainy Night House', with 'Love or Money' a close second ( any subsequent history to this song ????)
