I'd been tempted to write to the JMDL about looking at the act of compiling TBOS as an artistic statement in itself, released at a do-or-die moment in deciding the direction the U.S. takes in the next four years, and he saved me the trouble with far more eloquence than I would have been able to muster. I pulled out my CD's and made myself a copy of TBOS this morning. I've just heard it, and I can concur with Jeff that the album flows beautifully. If you give yourself over to it, it's quite powerful. "The Reoccurring Dream" draws you right into the work, with its snippets of advertisements that grab out at you from the sound collage. The sequencing of the chosen songs, thereafter, is impeccable, as is the choice of songs. I come from a free-form radio background, and I loved assembling my own thematic works on a nightly basis - from a library of previously released works. I'm deeply attuned to what I consider to be the art of thematic musical juxtapositioning. That's what Joni's involved herself in here, and, on those terms, I think she's kicked some major butt. Joni still wants to be a part of the marketplace - of the music industry - no matter what she says about the evil record companies. My intuition tells me that that line is a smokescreen (not that she's not right in what she says) for what is in actuality a sharp decline in performing ability. As much as I consider Travelogue a remarkable success on its own terms, as well, you can tell it was a struggle for Joni vocally. Whether there are post-polio problems affecting her playing abilities, I couldn't say. I applaud her for staying in the game, in this way, until her strength and stamina return, if they do. TBOS (without having actually bought a copy - after all, Joni, I already bought these tracks once!) just might end up being my Joni of choice for the time being.

Hi Everyone, I just got back from a week at Full Moon, and had a talk with Henry about Jonifest. It looks like this will definitely be the last year for Jonifest at Full Moon as they are not able to give us a weekend in the summer or fall any longer. Their wedding business has really picked up, and that is where their bread and butter is. It would be great if someone would pick up the ball for future Jonifests somewhere else- perhaps on the West coast? Anyway, regardless of whether there will be a future fest, August will be THE year to go to fest if you have ever thought about attending as there is no guarantee that there will be another. Get off the fence everyone, and SIGN UP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.jmdl.com/jonifest/register/ Also, a reminder that the last day to order Jonifest merchandise to be picked up at Fest is August 1st, which is tomorrow. So, if you want to order anything, go here to check it out: http://www.jmdl.com/jonifest/2004store.cfm Hugs, Ashara ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2004 21:06:34 -0700 From: "Mark or Travis" Subject: bargains If anyone wants to pick up a copy of 'The Beginning of Survival' for a nice price, Circuit City has it for $11.99.
