This was one I didn't get way back when it came out - I don't remember why not. I only just got it a year or two ago. It is by far my favourite Joni album. A lot of people say it's flawed, but I'll take the flaws, thank you very much. i think Joni's singing voice is superb in this one. >Oddly enough I've > just read Walt's post about the guitar on TTT and > yes.

There's something missing, but I don't know what it is. There's a hollow, muffled kind of sound. Maybe it needed a bit more salt, or some cinnamon or something. >Is there any > musical/sound advantage for Joni using this > instrument in the studio?

Maybe it was her new toy and she was trying it out? I'd like to hear some of those songs done on acoustic - I wonder whether that'll happen? ______________________________________________________________________ Web-hosting solutions for home and business! http://website.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 22:35:30 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: My 1 and only concert experience - --- AsharaJM@aol.com wrote: > Erica wrote: > > < but the dress seemed > >more like a >thick guilded brush stroke that she > wrapped around herself just > moments >before.

First I read Erica's description, which sounded lovely. Then I read Smurf's, then Ashara's - and then I linked to the picture. Reminds me of the story of the blind men and the elephant. This outfit reminds me of those crepe paper Halloween costumes they had when I was a kid - if it was raining on Halloween night, you'd come home with globs and strips of wet paper hanging all over the place. Joni paid big bucks for that outfit, I'm sure, unless she's got some kind of a deal with Miyake. ______________________________________________________________________ Web-hosting solutions for home and business! http://website.yahoo.ca ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 22:37:17 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: just a little green - --- chiaroscuro@SNET.Net wrote: > lately it sounds to me like ' Eeyore notches' but > that is because i've > been reading too much winnie the pooh with my > granddaughter lately.

I was living in LA for awhile (in 2000), and was finally able to spend time with one of best friends, Nancy. It was the first time in 20 years we'd lived in the same town (ironically, she moved to New York City 2 months after I arrived), and we tried to make the most of it. One evening, we returned to my bungalow after dinner, and she came in for awhile. "Play me something I've never heard". She was looking through my CD's, and pulled out "Don Juan's" and said, "How's this album?" I was incredulous. "What, you've never heard this?" "No, I've never even seen it before." My selection was easy, at that point. We altered our mood a little, and I lit some candles, and put on "Paprika Plains". Nancy loves Joni, and she's also a painter, so this piece of music was the perfect choice. We didn't speak at all while it played... I just watched her as she listened to this music that I knew so well. It was very interesting being both an observer, as well as an active listener. I found that, even though I knew every note and nuance of this opus, I was hearing it with fresh ears, as I tried to imagine what it was like for Nancy experiencing it for the first time. Of course, she was absolutely stunned by it. I was surprised at how powerful the end of the song is, when the electric bass and the drums come in. And Wayne! To have such a visceral impact from music that I've heard hundreds of times over the years...was just amazing. A month later, Nancy called from Brooklyn and left me a message. In the background, some music was playing. "Can you hear it?" she asked, then paused so I could. It was "Paprika Plains", from the first CD she had purchased for her new home. An aural portrait of the land and the sky, that one is. Rus ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2002 23:43:10 -0800 From: "Johnson Victor" Subject: Dog Eat Dog! I would like to announce that I want to officially join the Dog Eat Dog Appreciation Society. I've had it on vinyl for years and never really paid much attention to it but this past few days I've been playing it over and over. I don't why it's clicking so much now. For some reason, I'm really digging everything. It all sounds so perfect. I find it very grounding.

Went to an after-holidays sale and found two racks of Miyake "casual" wear in the $300-$600 price range. On the hanger, these pieces are really special and very hard to resist. They are works of art as Joni says. So I couldn't help but take a little pleated organdy blouse and crumpled jacket into the dressing room, all ready to blow my Christmas bonus. Alas, once they go on they do not flatter at all. I think they are strictly meant for petite, stick-thin Audrey Hepburn types and no one else. If you have the tiniest curve they will not work. I imagine Joni cannot resist them, however. I know the feeling of having half a closet full of clothes I fell in love with that were never meant for my body type, too!
