Unfortunately there's not a good Joni discography on the web that includes her 45's, EP's, etc. You can get a pretty good handle on the ones she released if you got to: http://www.gemm.com/ And do a search on Joni Mitchell.

I've tried to like his singing, >but I'd rather stick Colin's knitting needles in my ear rather than hear Rufus >sing. Like Lori said, give me the Rufus with "Tell Me Something Good." I agree. I have tried harder to like Rufus W. than any other artist in a long time, but he seems so whiny and childish to me that I just want to bitch slap him! Sorry to all who love him. But you did inspire me to dig out something I haven't heard in years . . .

I would love to know what 45s were released. When I was growing up, with every album, I would decide which singles I would release if I were the record executive because I was so frustrated that the music world didn't appreciate Joni enough. I though that if I was in charge, I would make Joni the biggest star in the world! Ah, youth . . . Does anyone know the singles that were released?

The unthinkable just happened this morning on CBC's 50-Tracks radio show. BSN was voted off the list. Here is how it works. Each of the four panelists, including the show's host, submits two candidates for the list, but only half of the submitted songs finally make it to the list. The competition and panelists' final voting must eliminate the weakest submissions. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would come to this. The panelists seemed so pro BSN earlier in the week. I thought it would be a cakewalk, but I spoke too soon. Remember, it is the song that counts, not necessarily the popularity or reputation of the artist. So, what made it on the 60's portion of the list? The Weight by The Band; These Eyes by the Guess Who; Early Morning Rain by Gordon Lightfoot, and Four Strong Winds by Ian and Sylvia. These choices trumped the following suggestions that did not make it to the list: Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf; Shakin All Over by Chad Albert & The Expressions; Suzanne by Leonard Cohen and, Whaaaaaaa!, BSN. I'm in a state of shock. BUT redemption may be possible by either of two ways: 1) listeners can put back one of the rejected songs through popular vote. 2) The panelists for the next two weeks may possibly submit a Joni tune (BYT?) for the 70's portion, but the competion will be very stiff. This current defeat may also weaken her standing for the 70's competition. You can cast a vote for BSN via email or toll-free telephone. Here is the email link: http://www.cbc.ca/50tracks/vote/index.html . I think I'm gonna call that CBC hotline right now and give them an earful. I mean, what is it with us Canadians? First Joni was WAY WAY behind Shania and Celine on the Great Canadian List, then River was booted off the 50-track list this past summer, and now Joni fans are once again being humiliated by this latest potential defeat. Is there no justice? ;-) Her fate is hanging thinly by a thread, so cast your votes now!

And either way, we win...when Joni can make it in one of these things we have reason to cheer; when she doesn't, we just remind ourselves that most folks don't get her, never will, and we can revel in being the elite.

So glad, in fact, it is comin' around again. Lama My esteemed colleague from the great, metropolitan city of Toronto said, >To me, DED was stripped down lyrically, deliberately. It was a reaction to the materialism of the 80s, so gone was the lyrical poetry of previous albums. The music is mostly harsh-sounding and the words Joni uses are harsh too, with a lot of one-syllable words and harsher consonants and a lot of staccato both in the music and her delivery of the words. "Impossible dreamer" is airy, both musically and lyrically - it feels like there's a lot of space between the words, maybe because we're more used to Joni packing in a lot of lyrics in a small space. It's not for nothing that it's the second last song in the album and it's the bridge between the harshness of the songs before it and the final song, "Lucky girl" which, like the opening song, "Good friends" is optimistic. It continues and synthesizes the harsh imagery of consumerism vs the starving masses, but lifts up from there to the positive image of the impossible dreamer seen in a blink in the darkest part of the night and in the brightest part of the day. An artist can paint with many layers of thick oil paint, using huge brushes, palette (sp?) knives and all that, or can do a simple line drawing with pencil or marker, and I think that's what Joni was doing with DED.> ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2005 #28 ******************************** ------- 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?
