Heya! Is this Walt in SF? as in, we first saw Erika at the Bazaar Cafe a few years ago? She's so amazing ... I love her too. ~Richard - ---- Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 From: Littlebreen@comcast.net Subject: Erika Luckett: Kindness, and Scales to Feathers (sjc) Hi gang: I know I've sung Erika Luckett's praises before (she and Patti Witten and Sarah Holcombe make up my personal trio of undersung (undercelebrated?) musical heroes), but I recently got Erika's two most recent albums (The New Orleans Sessions, and Unexpected) in the mail not long ago, and wanted to share two lyrics with you, my favorite virtual group. In the meantime: *All* of Erika's albums are wonderful, and I cannot encourage you strongly enough to seek them out. Her website is, not surprisingly, www.erikaluckett.com I'll let you know what she tells me of being aware of Joni's DJRD, which slipped by a lot of people's notice (not mine -- it's still my favorite). love to all, walt Walt ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 13:23:02 EST From: LCStanley7@aol.com Subject: album covers Hi Ya'll, I was listening to the album Both Sides Now this morning and looking at the cover. Then I noticed Clouds was on my counter and thought the two album covers looked cool next to each other and started noticing similarities and differences. Both are Joni self portraits, and both have red under her left chin, a flower and the product of the fruit of a flower. I have to wonder if Joni looked at Clouds or had it in her mind when she painted the cover of BSN? The expressions on both portraits are very similar. They look so cool side by side, both sides of her life, young and old. She can see both sides now but could only imagine both when she made Clouds. The background colors are so contrasted. And, in the BSN background there is a cloud of smoke that looks like it is about to bite Joni... a reference toward death pursuing her perhaps? The river in the background of Clouds reminds me of the table on BSN with the reflections and the horizontal direction. The location of Joni's cigarette on BSN is remniscent of the location of the sun on Clouds... the fire of the lighted cigarrette being a similar color to the Clouds sky. Anyway, I'm fascinated by these self portraits and the beauty of the two albums taken together. The song BSN is the last on each album, and that struck me as profound. The album BSN is as if Joni has gone back in time to her mother or grandmother's time musically because of the age of most of the songs. Reminds me of her words in Chinese Cafe, "Grown so fast, Like the turn of a page, We look like our mothers did now, When we were those kids' age." With love and awe, Laura ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 11:27:36 -0800 From: Randy Remote Subject: Re: Paprika Plains, the remix 100% JC, now 41% JC "Lama, Jim L'Hommedieu" wrote: > You get the "Julie Z.

Did anyone ever comment on Love Actually maybe even on the jc? After all, it's got the British PM's (Hugh Grant) sister who is a big Joni fan, and excerpts from River and BSN (BSN's). Sister says "She learned how to feel from Joni." Te--rri-fic movie regardless of Joni content IMO.

There was a thread on this awhile back--the scene with Emma Thompson after she receives _BSN_ is fabulous--it almost made me like the orchestral version of "BSN." Actually (Woops--that's part of the film title) the world-weary performance of the song works perfectly in that charming film. The film is a bit slight, but slight romantic comedies look almost like masterpieces compared to most Hollywood fare. On the NJC front, I'm going to watch _Finding Neverland_ tonight, which I understand takes great liberties with J.M. Barrie's actual biography, but with the inspired casting of Johnny Depp as Barrie, how can it not be good? I'll try to take off my children's literature professor and scholar hat and just enjoy. As I truly did enjoy _Love Actually_ without having to be the critic. "Now I sit up here--the critic, And they introduce some band. But they seem so much confetti Looking at 'em on my TV set."
