Each year, WFUV in NYC asks its listeners to vote for their favorite new albums of the year. So, i asked him which new albums he'd be voting for; he replied, "The new Dylan album." I reminded him that there WAS NO NEW Dylan album that year to vote for. He replied, "Well, if there WAS one, I'd vote for it." Without even hearing the (non-existant) album; what blind faith ! As if he could never write a bad song... and that he'd love the music even without hearing it. There's a really subjective listener, eh?

The other women sat looking at their nails - or teeth sunk in the hand - anyway I thought I would share this --- then I thought of the paintings in the booklet of Travelogue and thought of the Path to 9/11 and ABC and it was a nice juxtaposition for Joni and the meaning of this day and the boldness or Rosie.It is amazing that she is on that show. Then the blond woman introduced Byoncee( sic) on a glamour stage and it all seemed inappropriate - the yawning creeped in but for a few minutes Joni, Mendoza and Rosie O. shined. I turned it off. Rosie is a HUGE Joni admirer and fan - you all probably know this. Stephen ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2006 16:55:11 -0400 (EDT) From: "Gerald A.

Yeah, you could see her in the front row on the TNT TV special in 2000. Nice seats, if you can get 'em!

While browsing through the website two days ago I realize that this is the first college radio station that went on air on the Net in 1994, and the first ever song played is Joni's "You Turn Me On I'm A Radio". How cool is that. I come on-air two hours a week. Only on Wednesdays at a reasonably early hour of 6AM (!!) so this Wednesday marks my debut broadcast (!!!). But last Saturday when four of us were oriented at 3am for a hands-on test broadcast we were asked to get 3-4 albums and practice speaking on air while managing the many controls. One of the new DJs asked if there is a Joni album around. When I asked her what her mini-theme is, she said that she'll play Joni then Mingus then Costello and then one other I forgot. Because it was her turn to be on air and she cannot find the Joni albums, she got some Ry Cooder and Miriam Makeba. I got me some Joni. I played Cassandra Wilson's "Black Crow", then Joni's "Not To Blame" then Bonnie "Prince" Billy's "the Way" then Venetian Snare's Hajnal. And when it was time to speak, man, nervous voice, lots of dead air, but after that I felt better. I wonder how those ultra-smooth voices on other radio stations could speak so effortlessly and so fast. Amazing people although I don't really want that myself but I am still impressed. Sorry for this rambling shameless promotion. (Maybe I'll play Holly Cole's "I Can See Clearly Now" as my opener) Joseph in Chapel Hill np: Saint Etienne "Downey CA." - --------------------------------- Dicouvrez un nouveau moyen de poser toutes vos questions quelque soit le sujet !
