Hi, I now see that, according the Spincds.com, the re-releases have been delayed until August, 2007. BTW, yes - Miles of Aisles is (one of) the greatest live albums ever released. Joni's voice is sublime and she sings her heart out. Cheers and Happy New Year to all on the list from the Czech Republic.

Last night, as a distraction from reading for my driving theory test this weeked, i was flicking through the horrors of digital tv when i came to BBC 4 and there was Joni at a piano. Well, i cried "that's Joni Mitchell" within one second. Dermot laughed and said "how can you tell? she has only plaed two notes?". Poor Dermot, hasn't got a clue:-) He quickly identified the song as My Old Man and said "you see, you didn't think i knew that, did you?". I caught the remaining 20 minutes of this wonderful show (the pink dress, Joni on BBC in 1970 show). I have the show on video somewhere but have not watched it in years.

I never thought "Barney Miller" :), but I don't care much for Tom Scott and band for the reasons you and Bob point out. That said, I'll put in my usual plug for RNH, which I think is the best version of that song, probably because they went for a darker mood. I think Joni's solo performances on MoA are great, even though I tend to prefer the orignals.

My sister had it way back whenever, and I remember hearing it at her place and thinking just how cool it was, but somehow I never got around to buying it for myself. Years later, I do enjoy parts of it but have to agree with those who aren't particularly fond of the Tom Scott arrangements. The most pop-like bridge that keeps coming into my head is the one in "Carey" as done on MOA, which I find pretty annoying, if only for the fact that it just won't get out of my head now. It sounds to me kind of like the music that might play as someone is coming out on stage after being introduced on a talk show of some kind, or an alternative to the Jeopardy "thinking" music, or the kind of stuff they play in supermarkets when they want you to move along and buy stuff. It was probably pretty avant-garde for its day, but I suppose now it's more derriere-garde. I guess what's most noteworthy to me is how much Joni can change a song so that, when you get live recordings (the official releases or bootleg versions), the same song can sound very different. Other artists do this but I think Joni has a particular gift for making something old, new again.

Almost every weekend a few friends and I hit the bars and go to particular ones with karaoke on Saturday nights. We go to this one called Jonny Rottens very, very often. Point is, tomorrow night I've decided to sing "Free Man In Paris" for one of my karaoke songs. They've got three Joni songs, "Help Me," "FMIP" as said, and "Big Yellow Taxi." And Lord knows I have no hope in being able to sing HP decently without being one of those assholes who totally butcher a song up there and BYT isn't a favorite of mine. So that's how the tale goes! I'll have a drink, sing the song, and then have a few more. It's never advisable to have a few drinks and then go and sing! You always sound like shit. You just do man. Also I have to pick up my one friend who doesn't have a car. The thing she does have though is a computer that actually plays You Tube. I'm on dialup so I can't watch You Tube or listen to much of anything online. However, I always browse You Tube (it's a one sided love--me and You Tube--I give and I give and I give and nothing!) and noticed a lot of what looks to be good Joni performances. So I'm thinking I'm going to get to my friend's house early tomorrow night and ask her if we can watch some You Tube. Good thing is she won't find me weird for wanting to do so because she knows You Tube greatness too (oh, You Tube love everyone and breaks my heart).

Some light trivial Friday fun! Alright, every Thursday my brother and I go grocery shopping for the week. Well a few weeks ago, we had a cashier ring us out named "Joni." And as usual, I said "hi, how are you" first as I make conversation with cashiers/waiters/bartenders/whatever if they reply and comply. Well that cashier talked a lot so I politely conversed. Well afterwards, my brother accused me of talking to that cashier just because her name was Joni (just as he accused me of making conversation with an Indian lady at the store once too because she was Indian and I'm really into Eastern religion/philosophy). In addition, we happened to have this cashier "Joni" three weeks in a row (I don't ever look who the cashier is as much as I look for the shortest line), and then another week we were in the checkout lane next to hers. Well my brother went on to tell my sister this yesterday, "Monika likes Joni Mitchell so much she picks this cashier named Joni to ring us out and last week she went into the line next to her." My sister then followed with asking me stupid questions which I choose to not repeat. Siblings, ugh. Now I never chose this cashier and it was purely coincidental. The only thing I will admit to is the first week we had her as a cashier, I did notice her name was Joni and thought "haha, it's Joni." But that's it man. Anyway, just trivial nonsense as its Friday! - -Monika ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2007 12:49:57 -0800 (PST) From: David Sapp Subject: Re: the three great stimulants video wow!

It may have been somewhat "avant-garde" for Joni because she hadn't really gotten into jazz at that point, so it was more of a stepping-off point for her. It was more pop-like than jazz in any case, a bit up from elevator music. Not to put it down too badly but some of it was a bit too perky for my taste (that weird "Carey" music is coming back again - oh noooo!)

It really is very beautiful. Funny you say that Azeem, i just had exactly the same thought about Neil Young from 1971 was just on BBC 4 and playing songs like Heart of Gold that were then new. Can you imagine how that would have been? GARRET NP- BBC 4 have gone all Californian this evening. They ahve a show called California Comes to the Whistle Test. They've had Poco, Ry Cooder, Tim Buckley and now some guy called Graham Nash singing some song called Another Sleep Song. Enjoying this. HOping they play more Ry Cooder to be honest.

I have always pictured Saskatchewan as the locale because I remember as a kid when certain highways were being "twinned" to 4 lanes. Being the son of an RCMP officer who moved all over the damn province before I was born, as a consequence we'd always spend summers driving all over Saskatchewan visiting relatives and friends in the small towns in which they lived, even after we moved to B.C. And I remember the whole uproar twinning the highways actually caused. While you'd think it was a good thing, I know a few communities that really suffered because formerly, they would have gas stations, restaurants, or motels at the side of the road, but after the roads were twinned, they often cut off access to these places, making them inconvenient to get to, and perhaps making travellers say "ah, we'll stop at the next town, beca use the access is right along the high way." I know it sounds ridiculous, but I vividly remember the whole kerfuffle the twining of the Trans Canada created for Indian Head, Saskatchewan, and the ice cream stand, the motel, and the gas station that was formerly right on the side of the road, but soon lost all East-Bound traffic access when the government pushed through that 4 lane highway and subsequently really hurt their business. As for Maidstone, the recently twinned Yellowhead is right on the edge of town (and Joni's old house is directly on the Yellowhead), and because of the highway going through town, businesses there flourish. So, whenever I hear the song, because of all the small-town talk I heard about the pushing through of these four lane highways, I always think of Saskatchewan (where they are finally going to twin the highway from PA, where I live, to Saskatoon). Thus, I picture the whole song set in Saskatchewan. And as for the Empire Hotel in Regina, that's one scary place. You don't want to go in there without someone having your back, let's just say. Hmmm, that story rambled on longer than something Grandpa Simpson would say, didn't it? Anyway, that's my take on the Empire and Raised on Robbery.
