I believe that she is going to replace that synth line with actual orchestration. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Apr 2002 13:23:52 -0400 From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?B?UmU6IHJlOiBzZXggoGtpbGxz?= "Sex Kills" is not a song that should be orchestrated. Bad call. I enjoyed her live performances on the '98 tour with Blade pushing the pace of the song a bit. It's one that should be loud and fast, with the words "spit out" (as Joni says about Tim Curry's take on "Cold Blue Steel...") Coincidentally, the first song that Joni played live with her VG8 was Sex Kills, and she used the heavy metal mode or whatever it's called, the same sound she uses in lead balloon. Anyway, it's a good effect. I also liked the version we heard in Nawlins...help me out Michael, who did that one?

The thought of hearing that song orchestrated makes me want to change one of the phrases slightly, to "Sex Kills everything." Still, it could be a nice surprise. Maybe.

I'm not wild about the first verse...it sounded to me like the lyrics should be reworked in some way, as though she is rushing to say too much at once. But the later verses are typical Joni brilliance, imho. "The ulcerated ozone, these tumors of the skin, the hostile sun beating down on this massive mess we're in." That line always gives me chills. The song I'm not wild about on TI is How do You Stop. I usually skip over that one. I do remember having a real appreciation for the first time of Be Cool when I heard that Las Vegas-ey, Doc Severinson-ey version at the BSN concert in Concord. Maybe Sex Kills will come off that way for all you doubters! Ken np-Patty Griffin, Making Pies (brilliant) ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2002 19:20:52 EDT From: Merk54@aol.com Subject: Sex Kills and the new album My favorite part of Sex Kills has always been that killer guitar solo! I do agree with Ken's assessment of the lyrics - the first verse seems forced, but from there the song takes off pretty nicely. As far as the new ablum is concerned, I'm hoping it's edgier than BSN (which is beautiful, but not exactly challenging). Just because she's using an orchestra for this new album, doesn't mean she can't push the envelope a little. I keep thinking about how she did Ludwig live! That song was brilliant. BSN was a beautiful, respectful piece of work, but I hope Joni doing Joni means taking a few more chances. Just my opinion.

It is so powerful and there are so many things about it that make me feel it when I sing it.

But if she tries to swing "Sex Kills"...well, it'll be high crime against humanity! Surely that's not what you mean...say it ain't so, Joe! :~) I'd love to see her use an orchestra subtly like XTC did on their wonderwork "Apple Venus" (or like she did on Court & Spark)as opposed to the behemoth monster that engulfed BSN like The Blob. However, my gut feeling is telling me that this is not her intent. Bob NP: Kiki Dee, "Carey" ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 02:39:02 From: "Timothy Spong" Subject: Joni's ancestry: Scottish, Norwegian, Irish(?); Bob M., Raleigh & WQDR. One of the "reunion" articles with a link posted to JMDL Digest 2002 99, 9 April 2002, says her parents were of Scottish-Norwegian ancestry. Other items read in the past have Joni attributing her temper to "the Irish in me." Is the latter just a figure of speech, or does the Scottish ancestry include Scotch-Irish (i.e., descendants of Scots who settled in Ireland, principally in the north), or does Joni also have true-Irish ancestry not alluded to in that article? And for Bob "SCJoniGuy" Muller: Please describe in more detail the location of the Eckerd's on Wake Forest Road, Raleigh, where you stopped to listen to Bonnie Raitt's rendition of "That Song About the Midway," so I can visualize it. Also, were you still in Raleigh when WQDR went country, and most of the WQDR programming and on-air personalities went to the then-new WRDU? That no longer exists in its original form, in turn.

A sort of recitation...Anyway, I was surprised also to see SK on the list, but whatever, can't wait for this album, I mean CD. BTW, the idea of releasing the new recordings as two separately released discs is totally screwed up. Some of the marketing decisions that company makes are unbelievably stupid. Maybe they want to see if the first one flies before they commit to a second. Or maybe they'll come to their senses and release them together. Now sex with Gino, that would kill. Anyway, I've always liked him too, though of course his lyrics pale in comparison to JM's. He has a fantastic voice. I hear he lives in Portland, OR now. His web site (have lost the address) is not updated too often.
