How obsessive? Just to fill you in I'm in rehearsals for a theatre show in Plymouth which is about to go on tour from Tuesday (Plymouth the city/town which the Pilgrim Fathers set sail to start the British colony in America - bizarre to see a list of the people on the Mayflower steps to see where they were from and what they did...) Anyway... quite nice the other week to see on Channel 4 TV the ad for Dreamland while watching 6 Feet Under - the right target audience me thinks! I went out and bought it the next day! I think it was the excitement of seeing the ad that made me buy it. And I came away from London with no cds whatsoever so I had to get this. It's Joni Lite. Anyway, it reached number 30 in Tesco's so I was pleased... Really bizarre seeing an ad for her after all this time of not seeing anything AT ALL for ANY OF HER ALBUMS EVER in the UK, only the odd poster on the tube and postcard in pubs. I hope everyone is good and well. Much Joni Jamie Zoob - --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo!

VOTE FOR KERRY Nice to hear from you fred! I have heard of many republicans jumping ship over to voting for kerry this year because they see just how far gone the bush administration is... after watching the debates it is hard for be to believe that anyone with any critical thinking skills would be able to say bush is their candidate- nobody is home! to me the only explanation would be blind party loyalty or extreme religious belief (the one that tells them bush is there because god put him there)... I'm more concerned about voting integrity- voting machines being used in states with no paper trails & voters of color (mostly kerry supporters) being intimidated to vote or young voters (mostly kerry supporters) not being allowed to vote where they are enrolled in school) & even the military vote (absentee) many of whom are leaning more towards kerry this year ... there is a lot of stuff like that going on so I'd urge everyone to check on what is going on in their state- find out who is in charge & where their party loyalties lie... you can sign up to be a volunteer to help ensure that voters are allowed to vote... can you believe this is happening in our country? This administration is so corrupt & the only way I think they will be able to "win" is the way they "won" last time... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2004 17:55:21 +0100 From: tantra_apso Subject: joni mention seems like Joni should be thankful she escaped this reltionship.... http://www.saga.co.uk/magazine/article/D9E2E330-498A-4C70-89F4-A428701FC5C3.asp?bhcp=1 - -- bw colin http://www.btinternet.com/~tantraapso/ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 2 Oct 2004 22:33:27 -0400 From: "janine sherman" Subject: Dreamland in London Hello Mates! My daughter is just beginning a semester abroad in London. She is trying to limit her overseas calls home,so this call not only surprised me but totally cracked me up. "MOMMMMM, we were watching the TV over here in our flat adn guess waht caem on????????? some ad for Joni Mitchell- they were playing her songs adn showing her playing adn singing , etc.etc. She is following me- even over here!" I told her there was a message in there soemwehre. So cute. Funny thing is, I have yet to see the Dreamland ad here in teh US. On anotehr note, a week or so ago we caught teh current Heart tour adn I swear those women are ageless and Rockin' more than ever. After hearing them live, now while playing Jupiter's Darling (new CD) I realize taht Ann Wilson's voice is unrecordable. A recording just can not portray the unbeleivable depth of her voice. It almsot makes you weep wehn she lets loose, in fact she ahs to stand back from teh mic. SHe takes my breath away. It is so absolutely cool to see them live adn performing new material, as well as the old faves. Nancy was wearing a black T-shirt with rhinestones spelling out GET YOUR KID OFF PROSAC. The place was packed and rockin' and Dan almost caught one of Nancy's picks, Next time. YOU GO GIRLS!

I fondly recall the night in the Bel Air hotel lounge where joni listers went for drinks after the Los Angeles show. Van entered with his entourage, quite intimidating to some of us. What a thrill it was when Kakki approached Van and offered him a fine cigar... (I forget the brand, maybe Kakki could remember). That was an incredible weekend, and Kakki played the gracious hostess to a number of jmdlers...

I was listening to DJRD yesterday in the quite night and I noticed for the first time what Jaco is doing with his bass. Before he plays a note and slides down the neck he is either tapping his string or the pick up, playing what sort of sounds like some kind of percussion. Gee he's a fantastic player, not just because of what I just mentioned, but well you know what I mean. On a similar note I was learning the bass for Heijra and the bugger has done over dubs. Sounds great but impossible to play. Cheers Brownie ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Oct 2004 23:49:52 -0400 From: Subject: DJRD, 100% JC You probably already noticed that Joni slaps too. Joni does it alone on Overture. It becomes a real dialog on many other songs, especially the ones on MINGUS. If you play just "Overture", then immediately play the intro to "God Must Be A Boogie Man", you'll hear the dialog. Joni & Jaco "bark" at each other, like dogs, with slapping. I think it's very special. I love the collaborations on THOSL, DJRD, HEJIRA, and MINGUS most of all. (I love the ones on BLUE too but the jazz influenced era is in another league to my ears.) To me, this whole era is special although many on the list think HEJIRA stands above the others.

I love every song on both of them, but to me, "Blue" is overrated by some as her best work. I think that "Blue" was the end of her folkie period, and "For The Roses" was a foreshadow of what was ahead. It doesn't have all of the production of "Court and Spark", which is also wonderful start to finish, yet it's very heartfelt and simple, like many of the songs on Blue. It's the perfect Joni LP. Have a nice week.

The first 2 are available on CD but the 3rd is only on DVD, an hour long video. Like the other titles, ROTR has some thunder-struck moments. I won't catalog them now because I don't want to spoil the shock of finding them for yourself. I bought ROTR on DVD this week and it does not dissapoint.
