But I was wondering if anybody, here among her most fervent fans, was even remotely interested in it. Bob NP: Joni, "Goodbye Blue Sky" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 12:19:14 EDT From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: Re: New CD Bob Wrote: It seems so strange...Joni released a new CD this week, and I haven't seen one post from anyone who bought it. Hi Bob! I was in a Super deee dooper Wal-Mart yesterday and had to look in the CD's to see what they had of Joni's. Dreamland was there, and I was like... what? I haven't heard of this one? I loved the artwork. So, it just came out... boy do I feel out of the loop! I would like to hear more about this CD... and eventually hear the CD! Love, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 11:11:23 -0700 From: Lindsay Moon Subject: Full Moon Joni DVD Ashara, thank you so much for sending along this DVD. It is just wonderful! I am almost through it and have this to say: Am I mistaken or is Johnny Cash the biggest masher?? Everytime Joni is on the show he's leering at her saying, "Isn't she beautiful?" "Isn't she pretty?" And then he swoops in for the kiss. Ugh! And there she is stuck, some 20-year-old who has to be nice to the host because she's on TV. It cracked me up. Thank you so much and to all those who contributed the material from who knows where. And it also struck me: Joni, Mama Cass and Mary Travers singing. And Mary Travers got famous for singing by .... ? Just some wry musings... Lindsay Moon ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 15:37:11 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Full Moon Joni DVD **And Mary Travers got famous for singing by .... ? Lindsay, I'm not sure that you're asking this, but Mary Travers is the Mary in Peter, Paul & Mary. Sorry if that's not what you were asking. That "I Shall be Released" trio is wonderful. I also need to say thanks to Ashara (and Wes) for this DVD, very well done.

I guess my feeling is that its not a >"new" Joni album Yes, it isn't a new album, and it's not really us, it's for the "general public," which I point out in the review I just sent to amazon, not yet posted. I personally have no problem with Joni releasing this collection and I hope that, through TV advertising (which apparently has begun in the UK but perhaps not the US yet) that it reaches many thousands. Now some of the song choices...that's another issue. But whatever. I haven't bought it yet but I probably will. Bryan ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 17:44:34 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Anyone Dreaming? **You have, you have... Indeed...the tracklist for Dreamland is: 1. Free Man In Paris (from Court & Spark) 2. In France They Kiss On Main Street (from HOSL) 3. Dreamland (from DJRD) 4. The Jungle Line (from HOSL) 5. Furry Sings The Blues (from Hejira) 6. You Turn Me On I'm A Radio (from FTR) 7. Carey (from Blue) 8. Big Yellow Taxi (from LOTC) 9. California (from Blue) 10. Help Me (from Court & Spark) 11. Nothing Can Be Done (from Night Ride Home) 12. Dancin' Clown (from the depths of Hell...oops I mean from CMIARS) 13. Come In From The Cold (from NRH) 14. Amelia (from Hejira) 15. For The Roses (orchestral version from T'log) 16. Both Sides Now (orchestral version from BSN) 17. The Circle Game (orchestral version from T'log) So most likely there's nothing new for you; if you don't have any of the above Joni discs mentioned - well, what are you waiting for you silly girl? Maybe what this needs is our own lovely Marianne wandering the streets singing "Who Will Buy"... Bob NP: Joni, "Cold Blue Steel & Sweet Fire" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 18:03:01 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Anyone Dreaming **Yes, it isn't a new album, and it's not really us, it's for the "general public," That would be the same general public that probably already has Hits and/or Misses, right? So there's not going to be much of a market there either that I can see. The big marketing push surprises me...full page ads in major rags, TV ads, even the CD itself has a sticker on it that says "As advertised on TV"...while part of me is glad to see Joni's product get the attention, it's disheartening to know that there is simply no audience for this disc, as compared to a Rarities or Vintage Live collection, which would have a substantial audience I would think. Bob NP: Joni, "Refuge Of The Roads" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 15:14:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Em Subject: Re: Anyone Dreaming?

Cool! I wish there was an audio sample but the only audio is the first song on the CD, which sounds pretty darn good. Makes my mouth water to hear her take on Amelia, which is on its way to me even as I speak. Bob NP: Joni, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 18:18:37 EDT From: BRYAN8847@aol.com Subject: Re: Anyone Dreaming But Bob, there is an audience -- if only they are reached through marketing. Hits didn't get the kind of marketing push that Dreamland is supposed to get (I don't know of any American TV ads yet....but in the UK there is TV already and D. is #12 on Amazon.com there).

VERY curious, Em...I mean it's not like it's a Grammy winner and/or the best thing she did in the 90's or anything!?!?!?!? Just another bad decision in what has now become a long, long string of them unfortunately. Bob NP: Furry Sings The Blues (S&L version) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 18:23:40 EDT From: SCJoniGuy@aol.com Subject: Re: Anyone Dreaming Like I say, I truly hope I'm wrong, Bryan...who knows? Folks seem to be lapping up these Rod Stewart does the standards collections advertised on TV like they were mama's milk, so maybe TV IS the answer. Believe me, nothing would make me happier than seeing this be a HUGE smash, and make Joni decide to get with it again.

I think back to 2000 when BSN went to #1 on amazon (though certainly lower on the overall Billboard chart) the day after Joni was on Rosie O'Donnell. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2004 18:53:53 -0500 From: "mackoliver" Subject: Fw: Anyone Dreaming?

So the Joni album is being marketed in the "CALL THIS 800 NUMBER" mode - to order yours now! Like a Super Bassamatic. LOL...so strange it seems. bu you know what?? its was GREAT!!!!!! GREAT to see Joni's lovely face unexpectedly on my blue TV screen light. Hope this release does for her what she hopes it can do. :) Em ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 02:03:01 -0400 From: ljirvin@jmdl.com Subject: Today's Library Links: September 19 On September 19 the following articles were published: 1970: "Glimpses of Joni" - Melody Maker (Interview, with photographs) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=180 1987: "Club Manager is Charged in Beating of Jazz Musician" - Miami Herald (NJC) http://www.jmdl.com/articles/view.cfm?id=930 ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2004 #268 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
