I feel so embarrassed to be asking a question with an answer I should probably already know, but I was wondering whether _Blue_ is one of the Joni albums that has been remastered in the HDCD format. At the time the reissues first became available, I didn't have the money to invest into replacing the standard issue copies I already have, so I didn't follow too closely which ones were released in this format. However, my copy of _Blue_, lent out far too many times, now skips through the first couple of songs and I'm looking to replace it. If there's a HDCD edition of the disc, I want to make sure that that's the one I get, rather than settling for something that's not the best version currently available. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this. Thanks, Jase ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 08:57:13 EST From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: 'Blue' HDCD? << If there's a HDCD edition of the disc, I want to make sure that that's the one I get, rather than settling for something that's not the best version currently available. >> Jason, I'll defer to the audiophiles, but I believe the BEST edition of Blue available is the "Gold" edition, about twice the price of even the HDCD version. Bob NP: Joan & Joni, "Dida" (the peppy version) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 16:31:09 -0000 From: "Garret" Subject: joni on vhi.com this has probably been discussed here already, but i thought i'd mention it. there is a "fanclub" section of vh1's site dedicated to JOni. one of the sections is about her influences. i linked through to from jm.com. here is what they had to say: MILES DAVIS A restless experimenter who pushed the boundaries of jazz and never shrunk from the wrath of fans who wished he would stay put, Davis is a Mitchell icon. In fact, in an interview she gave to discuss Both Sides Now, she remarked, "I was born on the day of the discoverer, so I'm doomed to be unique. Miles Davis was like that, Pablo Picasso was like that. Driven to explore. Always chasing something. Never quite getting what you wanted. The stars force me to be a die-hard original." CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG Her relationship with these artists has often been discussed in terms of her romances; David Crosby discovered her, got her a record deal, produced her debut, and, we hear, wooed her as well. But her relationship with Nash was deeper and longer on the personal front and inspired great material from both of them. Ladies of the Canyon documents her Nash period, when Laurel Canyon in the hills above Hollywood was the neighborhood of choice for the hippest of troubadours. "Circle Game" was a retort to Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain"; Young responded with a song called "Sweet Joni": "Sweet Joni from Saskatoon/She shines like the sun but feels like the moon." She gave them one of their biggest hits, "Woodstock," and toured outdoor stadiums with them in the mid-'70s. GEORGIA O'KEEFE One of the few artists who could actually intimidate Mitchell, the reclusive and ornery painter followed her own muse in the isolation of the New Mexican desert. Her austere pictures of a stark landscape are about more than just the land around them; they are sensual explorations of O'Keefe's womanhood. Mitchell felt such a spiritual connection that she undertook an elaborate effort to get to know the painter, who, like Joni, was not someone easily impressed. The long- distance relationship was worth it, because Mitchell did get to meet her idol, and O'Keefe remains an influence in Mitchell's paintings, music, and even in the clothes she wears. LAMBERT, HENDRICKS, AND ROSS These rapid-fire scat-singing virtuoso jazz vocalists inspired Mitchell's own note-bending approach. On Court and Spark, she revived one of their signature tunes, "Twisted," which lent an uncharacteristic bit of humor to her usually brooding work. Their influence is even stronger on Mitchell's underrated The Hissing of Summer Lawns, on which she interpolated the group's "Centerpiece" into a suite of songs about suburban isolation. Her interest in the trio helped revive interest in the trio among pop fans, and the two surviving members of the group paid her tribute last year as a surprise encore act at the Hejira tribute at New York's Central Park. WEATHER REPORT The jazz-fusion group, whose artistic roots are in the pioneering work of Miles Davis, attracted adventurous fans of rock and funk. Their influence can be particularly felt on Mitchell's "Paprika Plains," an extended piece from Don Juan's Reckless Daughter that features Weather Report bassist Jaco Pastorius and saxophonist Wayne Shorter. Mitchell and Pastorius enjoyed a remarkable collaboration on that album and Hejira, and he accompanied her on a tour documented on the Shadows and Light live disc and video, as part of an all-star jazz backing group. Their explorations would have undoubtedly continued had the unstable, drug-abusing Pastorius not died so young. Shorter and Mitchell continue to work together, and it's his sax playing that so eloquently accompanies Mitchell on the title track to Both Sides Now. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 11:25:13 -0500 (EST) From: Emily Kirk Gray Subject: getting together DAVID! i love it i love it i love it! judy's is a wonderful venue and i'm already compiling a list of joni songs i want people to play for me!

Judy's Chelsea is a first class place, with a first class kitchen. There are 2 areas to perform, One high tech yet intimate, the other more open and informal. It would be a perfect place for a Memorial Day get together, especially since Pazfest II doesn't seem to be forthcoming ;) We should jump at David's generous offer and start planning now. And best of all, my favorite B&B, The Chelsea Pines, is just around the corner. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2001 00:49:17 +0700 From: "william" Subject: Misses?

Someone on the Line cites, to have a great poet or performer or something like that one needs a great audience. Just tonight I got up on stage before the punters arrived and did a set - two sets actually. Paul, mon ami, says, play something they know. We're talking local Indonesians here. So I did the usual Hey Jude and Wait in Vain. To rrrrrrrrrapturous applause, mm. I thought fuck it I'm gonna do some Joni. I felt unfettered and alive. Free Man, Woodstock and Coyote. Paul loved it. By this time the slotted band were due to perform. Talk about rubbish! The most inane uninteresteing drivel. They were given the clap they so richly deserved. Great audiences.

Yes, "Blue" is available in HDCD. At Amazon they say so next to the title. CDNow is not saying but it probably is, too. At the store, make sure the HDCD logo is on the back. It will also be on the disc itself. In Europe they had trouble with CDs that were stickered as HDCDs but had the old stock ones inside. Also, as Bob said, you can get "Blue" on an audiophile gold CD for a bit more than double the cost of the regular issue. Considering that it's one of the best albums of all time, that's a bargain.

And what a tumultuous 9 or so days you all have had! My, my, my, as Kakki would say. Religion, politics, sex, turds.....you've done it all! Of course I know how much you all missed me! (Mark who? Was he gone? Isn't he that crazy queen who pretends to live in Seattle that raves on about Billie Holiday all the time? Is he a lurker? What exactly *is* his damage anyway?!) Anyway since I missed out on the Jungle Line/HOSL thread I wanted to jump in on this one as it's still fairly untouched. This was a great post Bob! Remember when I was on that bent of trying to figure out thematic threads in Joni's albums? You challenged me to do DJRD. I declined. The record seemed too much all over the place. Yet as time as gone on and after many listenings, it seems to me that it somehow hangs together as a cohesive whole in some kind of way. Part of it seems to tell the story of a relationship. And then there's that Third World interlude. Hmmm..... > Side One: > 1. Cotton Avenue - She starts in the country, but is drawn by the city lights and the excitement, the people. Given the time of this release I always felt that Cotton Avenue was probably a discotheque. But the name and the style of the music, which to me is very jazzy with a hint of blues in it, harks back to the jazz clubs of 1930s Harlem for me, the name referring specifically to the Cotton Club. 'To hear the shiny, shiny music/see all the shiny people dancing to it.' You bring jazz into the mix and you also bring, as Ken Burns is teaching us so eloquently, Africa and the Carribean into it. Maybe a stretch but it may point to Joni's assertion about the Third World theme of DJRD. > > 2. Talk To Me - Is this addressed to someone she just has met on Cotton Ave, or to an established relationship? It's always seemed to me to be about the latter. In either regard, from this conflict comes... I go back & forth on this. To me it sounds like she's trying to draw somebody out that she's just met. > > 3. Jericho - The end of the first side and the resolution of the first "movement" as she declares her honest sense of love and all it entails with the person in "Talk to Me" Jericho is another reason why I think she's just met this person. She's contemplating a new love and trying to fix the right path in her mind to making it a meaningful and positive relationship. She is at the beginning of this romance & is promising to 'keep myself open up to you.' That's what I think, anyway. > > Side 2: > Paprika Plains - She begins, possibly back in the Cotton Avenue location, some public place to be sure, steps outside to 'get some air', and begins to reflect on the country, open plains of her homeland, and the North American Indians. She segues into a flashback/fantasy/dream sequence, and then returns to her companion in the club with the 'mirrored ball'. > This is the song that Joni uses to introduce her ultimate theme as she expresses it above. I think Paprika Plains eventually ties in with the title track. She's talking about the indigenous people of North & South America. I've never read the Casteneda books about Don Juan the shaman but I believe they deal with the religious & spiritual beliefs of one or some of those cultures. > > Side 3. > 1. Otis & Marlena - Perhaps she is totally OUT of this portrait, or perhaps she is superimposing the relationship she's been discussing with this couple who escape & observe the superficial decadence of this hotel setting. This is where she shifts out of the story she began on side one and I've never been able to pin down the transition. However, I think Otis & Marlena is her departure point for the rest of this side. If she's travelling to the Carribean or South America, chances are she'd be going through Miami. Her observations are of a decayed, decadent, consumer driven, yet complacent place that is oblivious to what is going on elsewhere in the world or in the country for that matter. The Third World may be banging at the doors of Washington and physically not that far from Miami, but Otis is watching cartoons & reruns while Marlena suns herself on the balcony. > > 2. Tenth World - a segue from the "dream on" chant of O&M, and a segue from that very consumable commercial world to the African 'Dreamland'. From the tenth world to the third world... > > 3. Dreamland - "It's a long long way from Canada"...is Good Time Mary & The Fortune Hunter the alterego or the antithesis of Otis & Marlena? The song is loaded with contrasts and is clearly the heart of Joni's theme of entering the third world and turning your back on the kind of world she descibes in O&M. Completes the song cycle of side 3. Ah the South Seas, the South Seas! Where I found peace, contentment and many tropical fruits I had not known before! But I digress. She's stepped into the Third World here but her observations of it in this song seem to deal mostly with its corruption and exploitation by European & American imperialism and consumerism. It seems to have followed her, in spite of her attempt to escape from it. I think Good Time Mary & the Fortune Hunter are thoughtless tourists, out pursuing their own agendas, pleasure for the one, gain through snagging a rich man for the other. (You're acting like a bunch of tourists, man!) > > Side 4. > 1. Don Juan's Reckless Daughter - This song is a continuance of Joni's dealing with her "country" side and her "city" side...missing her fresh white linen...the battle between the eagle (the standard that others (Myrtle?) hold her to) and the serpent (the temptations and muses she is drawn to). "Restless for streets & honky tonks, restless for home & routine". > > 2. Off Night Backstreet - The flipside of Jericho, she introduces the song by wondering if she hasn't been kidding herself, and the confidence & extra time she's asked of her partner have NOT been exchanged. She realizes that she's relegated to the role of the woman who is there when she's needed and that's it. > > 3. Silky Veils of Ardor - Now she withdraws herself from the relationship altogether, but just like in "Amelia", she longs to crash back into the arms of love. She realizes that only in her dreams can she return to the way things used to be, whether it's her life in the country and that attitude, or the romance that once was a flame and is now a cinder. > > I don't really see her returning to her theme on the final side, perhaps she centers it to represent it as the "core" of the record, and "frames" it with a love story. I believe the title track draws its imagery of the eagle & the serpent from Native American culture (somebody correct me if I'm wrong, I really don't know much of anything about this aside from what other people have posted on the subject in the past) so that would still be in keeping with her theme. The song is so dense, lyrically. It kind of sprawls all over from male/female relationships to society in general. It's probably the most extensive exploration of her recurrent theme of duality that she's ever done. Streets & honkytonks/home & routine, the eyes of clarity/the beads of guile, some wisdom & a lot of jive, home of the brave & the free/hoplessly opressed cowards, scales to feathers, man to woman, eagles in the sky/snakes in the grass, crawling/flying, oh-oh you & I, you & I, you & I..... As a side note & to get in one remark about the Jungle Line/HOSL thread, I've always thought the snake on the cover represented a lot of things. Danger, drugs (there's a poppy snake in the dressing room), a shaking off of inhibitions and abandonment to primitive urges. Or maybe by taking up that serpent the people on the cover are merely looking very deeply into themselves at the deepest, darkest part of their souls. A risky proposition to be sure but possibly rewarding as well. As Joni later said in DJRD 'there is danger and education in living out such a reckless lifestyle.' I believe the snake is used as a symbol in many different cultures and has many meanings. I agree that the final two songs of the album don't seem to have much to do with turning to the Third World (didn't Sting say 'One world is enough for all of us?' The term Third World actually kind of bothers me if the truth be known. It seems kind of vague and implies an 'othering' concept to me.) Just one more thing in reply to the other post about The Silky Veils of Ardor. (I'm sorry, I don't remember for sure who posted it.) To me the last verse is about how difficult the reality of relationships is and how it is only in fantasy & dreams that they are easy. Unfortunately, it's only in our dreams that we can fly above the adversities of everyday life & relating. The reality is that we are constantly down in the turbulent water in our tiny boats, constantly rowing against the current of that raging river and if we want things to work out, we sometimes have to row a little harder. And of all the songs on this record, this one probably has the least to do with the so-called Third World as much of it is borrowed & woven from bits of traditional British/American folk songs. > I don't know...I'm just thinking out loud here. Whatever, DJRD is a VERY dense work, musically but especially lyrically. > > I'd be anxious to hear what you guys think...and perhaps in the midst of some general thoughts, we can address some specific questions as well.
