I counter new with an icon, Joni Mitchell. She is at the top of my list. The desert island question-Joni Mitchell would be one. Dinner guest-put her on the list. Music travels with me when I go anywhere. Joni is always my first choice. I've just released a new EP called "Falling - That Joni Mitchell Song". It talks about this specific Joni Mitchell song". Omry did not cover Joni - but his EP is all about how Joni and her songs changed him. Nice, no? You can hear the song via his myspace page: http://myspace.com/omrilevy If you want to hear the intire EP and the complete CD that followed it, go to Omry's own site: http://www.omrilevy.com/ Nuri - --------------------------------- Want to be your own boss?

I find it very interesting, especially when there are detailed explanations like the one Bruce gave, so if there are more responses out there, do let me know! And thanks all for being welcoming to a newcomer, it seems that you have a really nice society here!

From the very first time I heard him sing (A Farewell to Kings album some time around 1985) he fascinate me incredibly and I still love the sound of his voice. He possesses such an unusual tone quality and conveys so much emotion in his voice and their music as a whole is rather unusual and different in their chord selections and voicings, rhythm, textures.. I also love to listen to David Sylvian and would say all the same things about him. Very unique, unusual and very expressive with his emotion that is conveyed in his singing. I've been listening lately to his most recent album, Snow Borne Sorrow. I've listened to it twice and am just starting to really get it though it will take some more listenings. But every time I hear something different and it slowly starts to get into my realm of consciousness and emotion, what ever that is. Victor NP: a noisy student lounge at GSU music school Hi, I am new to this list, perhaps this is an old topic that has already been banned for further discussion... I read that Joni M protested to being called the female Bob Dylan, because noone would ever call Dylan the male Joni Mitchell - implying that women will always be considered to as secondary. Joni Mitchell is unique and I can see why the remark must have been annoying. I get the point though. I was born in 1965, too late to be part of the Dylan era. I know some of his music, but I cannot really relate to what some people say about him: that although at the time they didn't understand his lyrics, the totally knew what he was on about. That is how I feel about Joni Mitchell though; and I think that what makes the difference is the way she sings from a woman's perspective, that is what makes her songs immediately relevant to me, as opposed to Dylan's. Recently I got quite infatuated by a couple of male singers, but thought that as long as there is Joni, they could never make it to be my number 1's! The best they could ever make was probably "best male" or rather "male Joni M"... This is not an estimation of quality, just of how I relate to them personally; and I guess people relate to music in different ways. Any thoughts?

This show is in collaboration with the Alison Jacques gallery where who are about to open the Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition. It should feature some poetry and some accoustic, if rough around the edges, music i suspect. there will be a screening of something or other. Just have to meet up before the gig and i'll give it to you, no charge. I bought three but turns out i only need two. First one that wants it gets it. Any takers?
