I've just received this pack of Joni Covers' discs, with many thanks to Doug, who sent them to me, to Eric for sending all these wonderful stuff all over the world (rolling the ball, rolling the ball, rolling the ball... to me) and, of course, to Bob, who made this: the most impressive collection in Popular Music! I'm awfully busy these days, but, since copying and burning discs is such an automatic matter, I know I'll be able to send these volumes by Friday (Saturday at last) So send me your address + Promise to reoffer them on list and they'll be yours! Yes! Have a Wonderful time! Emiliano Note: I include here the post from Doug and the one for Eric: as you see, Doug kindly added some interesting and new found concert.

So, this new album is being talked up by everyone, eh? I would get it, but my partner has this violent reaction against her. it may have smoething to do with the poster for her new record in tube stations which calls her something like " trhe most intelligent singer today". he finds her boring from what i recall, and wouldn't mind if her and Elvis Costello became marine explorers and took theri respective back catalougess with thme. he dislikes Joni more than is natural, has used the term hate (and that is among the more, ehrm, reasonable terms), and *will not sit in the same room if she is playing!!* he's not a fan of patti smith, but has admitted to really enjoying her concerts (i've only subjected him to three in the last ten months). The anti-Joni partner. How common is this? (he was surprised at Dry Cleaner, and quite likes it) we do agree on some music mind you:-) GARRET (sunny London is KILLING me; i hope it's colder when i go to Sweden next week) NP- Sam Shaber, Bare - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 May 2004 12:28:54 +0100 From: Garret Subject: re: Joni speaking Joni is quite the story teller. There are some video's that have been tree-d on the list thanks to the devotion of Ashara. I'm sure someone could copy them and get them out to you, although this may be what you are talking about (acutally, i haven't seen most of them myself, i'm always threatening Chris that i'll invade his home at some point for a day of Joni videos). From what i have seen, Joni is a good interview guest. She manages to talk a lot, but remain pretty respectful of the question asked. her live concerts also feature a lot of chat, and there are some great stories and explanations and descriptions in the joni bootleg body. In terms of the way she ties her painting and music together, i've always liked this too; that way Joni discusses music visually. She sees herself, i suppose, as a painter first ("i am a lonely painter") and a singer-songwriter second. It seems to me that she is following her muse, whatever that elusive concept means (makes sense to the artists, no?). Sometimes it leads her to be more productive musically/lyrically and sometimes she is doing photography and sometimes painting. The creative drive is the same, and even though she is less productive on the music front than she was thirty years ago, the drive is probably sitll there. I imagine she is painting a lot at the moment; cats, flowers, landscapes. remeber her 9/11 paintings? I can only hope that the muse will put her in front of the piano at some point soon. GARRET np- Patti Smith, Cash Date: Tue, 18 May 2004 06:00:40 -0700 (PDT) From: Em Subject: Joni speaking Had the opportunity to watch some video last evening of JM. Realized I'd never seen or heard her speaking, like in an interview or whatever. I was really REALLY pleasantly surprised. I love how she pulls ideas out of many facets of life and existence and knowledge, and uses that in her speech when talking about her work. Makes connections. Well, when talking about anything, I suppose. She's good to listen to. Be fun to have a good conversation with this woman. Or even listen to her have a convo w/someone else. And she's funny too. I bet off camera she can be hilarious. So, she's not an ice queen. I was so afraid she would be. Not sure why. But she's not. She's quite warm and vibrant and oh so intelligent and I think, fun. Got my CD of DJRD, sigh, still am finding no joy. Am waiting on HOSL to arrive. Like an idiot ordered STAS twice. So now I have 2 copies. lol. Anyway, just wanted to say how impressed I was with this Joni Mitchell of you all's. And I like how she ties in speaking about her painting to music. Like its all one big art, but with necessary (business driven) partitions. This woman is brilliant indeed. Damn now I want to meet her...lol..not holding my breath.. Em ps damn fine guitarist too, was great watching her play. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 May 2004 12:00:30 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: Re: Aging Colin wrote: Even tho I am sure we survive physicval death, I still am freaked by 1. getting old(most unfair) Hi Colin, Getting older makes life interesting to me. However, I don't care for the diseases that tend to come with aging. Normal aging doesn't include things like arthritis and Alzheimer disease, but aging increases the probability of getting these diseases. If I was always a particular age, I'd get bored. Aging motivates me. Like I'd better hurry up and buy a piano and learn to play it before my time runs out... "Well, something's lost but something's gained in living every day." I look forward to my hair turning white. I also look forward to my kids growing up and becoming more self sufficient. It would seem unfair to me if kids didn't grow up or if adults never got old enough to retire... like that Robert Browning poem, "grow old along with me, the best is yet to be." Joni is such an awesome example of how getting older can be a very beautiful thing. The progression of her music from the 60's to now has made such an impact on my life. She is such a generous person to have shared so much of herself with us over all these years. I learned at the AA retreat in Chicago that the opposite of depression is expression. Joni to me is the goddess of expression. She's taught me that self expression can be enhanced by aging. I wonder what her next expression will be? I have a feeling the best is yet to come. Love and awe, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 May 2004 18:40:54 +0100 From: colin Subject: Re: Aging LCStanley7@aol.com wrote: >Colin wrote: > >Even tho I am sure we survive physicval death, I still am >freaked by 1. getting old(most unfair) > > Hi Colin, > > Getting older makes life interesting to me.

I see my firends falling apart, some of them painfully. I am aware of my own body changes, my partner's changes etc denial of the changes age causes doesn't stop those changes. - -- bw colin http://www.btinternet.com/~tantraapso/ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 May 2004 18:48:42 -0400 From: JLS Subject: New "old" Laura Nyro Hey you JoniFreaks, Nyrogrl here from under the borderline....You know I keep my second favorite list updated as I do my first.
