Hi Bene. Back when I thought I was the only person on Earth who was into Joni, I often wondered why more gay people weren't into her songs. Since joining this list, I realise how misguided I was. For the past I dont know how many years I ahve wondered why I she has remained so unknown to many people when those who know her are so devoted... Of course, I can't speak for any other gay people but the reason I think gay men are rapt in her songs is because many tend to be deep thinkers. They are also very aware of the political inequities that go in the world, having been victims of it. The idea of being pidgeonholed is a consequence that has occurred to Joni and many gay men and women can relate to that. Obviously there are many people who approach Joni's songs from a musical appreciation, both gay and straight but, I believe many gay people are very in touch with the complexities of human relationships and feel the anger of injustice to the average person deeply. As I said, I can't speak for all gay people but, this is what touches me about Joni's songs. It is her thought processes. She states so eloquently much of what I feel. To feel is to be alive. Mark in Sydney (gay capital of the world) ................... Thanks! I suppose it makes sense... I can see the point about injustice etc. But at the same time, what you say sounds fairly universal. I mean, 'you state very eloquently' how she affects me too, and I am fairly straight. But still, maybe it makes sense. It's funny you should say many g&l people are deep thinkers, when you think of all the superficiality on the scene. But I think you are right (not that the rest of us are just supershallow though!) I don't know..! Oh and thanks for the message about Bridie. I looked up his website, but it loaded so slowly it wasn't much good, he sounded god though!

I was wondering what people in general think of the Both Sides Album? When I first got it I only knew Hejira and Dog Eat Dog. I cannot imagine her voice being any darker and stronger than on that album, I was so moved to hear how much the years had added to it. I hear people complaining about her voice being damaged, but then her personality just seems to have deepened so much. You can hear the depth of time, it's a bit like looking back at your own life (no comparison between her and my life though). The guy who wrote the essay complains a little bit about the big band sound; and I guess the intimacy of her vice and the grandeur of the big band are a bit incompatible. However, I asked my friend who is one of the really great jazz drummers in Copenhagen, and his eyes widened when I mentioned the album. He said the harmony between her and the orchestra was... well, something really good. I can't really tell these things, either a band makes an impact on me or it doesn't, I don't know about the technicalities. Ok enough, I feel I am completely swamping the list today!

Je pense, donc je parle (with apologies to Descartes). And this Catherine person. Ha! If she ain't The Real McKay! I wish I could crown and anchor her wit. (From Wikipedia: "The real McCoy" is a phrase used throughout much of the English-speaking world to mean "the real thing" or "the genuine article" e.g. "he's the real McCoy". Its origins, though generally thought to be nineteenth or early twentieth century, are somewhat obscure.) And regarding the obsessive Joni quoting? Just for the Joni record, it was our Oddund from Norway, not me, who started it all with his nordic blues when he asked if anyone here had a problem in love relationships wherein they quoted Joni all the time. ("I well up with affection thinking back down the roads to then.") It was then that I came out of the closet and spread my gorgeous JMOCDed wings. But Oddmund started it!

I never thought of myself as a devoted cultist -- of Shawn, or even of Joni - -- but I liked AWNY quite a bit and have played it often. No, it's not comparable to "Steady On" or "Fat City," and not every song on it is good (the title cut, in particular, wears on me). However, I really do like "Matter of Minutes" and "Another Plane Went Down," and you know there maybe be more. > I thought it was about as bland as drinking coffee at room temp. Maybe that explains it. As afternoons at work roll around, I often end up drinking the coffee that's been on my desk all morning. I thought it was just a hazard of being a secretary/bookkeeper type (my mom, who did the same kind of work, drank day-old coffee too), but maybe it's allegorical ... ; ) I'm looking forward to hearing "These Four Walls." Anything that includes Patty Griffin has to be good, imo.

I found the arrangements heavy and schmaltzy, and though I didn't complain about Joni's "smoky" voice as much as some, I don't feel like she was really playing to her strengths on this project. It remains my least favorite of her albums. Otoh, she really enjoyed the project, it kept her in the game a little longer, and it inspired her to follow through with Travelogue, which was more creative in terms of its arrangements but ultimately was also disappointing to me. What I REALLY resented about BSN was the marketing; the first release to come out (the one that we rabid fans were more likely going to get) was the "hatbox" version; it cost $40 or so, and many copies were damaged in transit. The bonus lyric cards and mini-paintings hardly justified the price, and it's certainly not a collector's item now.

The publishing rights have to be agreed as well. Both Shadows & Light and Hissing have a song that Joni did not write alone. There are some publishers who are arguing that the digital services (including iTunes) have not followed the proper procedure for a compulsory license. Further, some artists have decided that they do not want partial albums made available. Joni may be among that group and it could be that she has said that if it's not all of it, then it's none of it. That's what I would guess in terms of an explanation, but it is speculation on my part. > Metallica recently gave in after holding out for years and is now > making their music available for download.

The dispute between Apple Computers and Apple Corp (the label) was resolved in May. Apple Corp lost and didn't get the payday they were aiming for. In any case, I don't think that's what has kept Lennon or the Beatles material off of iTunes because it hasn't been available through any of the other download services either (Napster, Rhapsody, Yahoo Music, etc.).
