I loved the album, but many critics seemed not to. 2) I think she got play on a lot of jazz stations after Mingus, but the pop stations wrote her off. We like to pigeonhole things, and if you ain't fitting in the slot, you ain't marketable. So once Joni became "jazz", she stopped being played on mainstream stations. At least that's my take. ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

(from csmonitor.com) Ladies of the canyon Joni Mitchell's sun was already in ascendancy when she penned the hit song "Woodstock" for buddies Crosby, Stills & Nash (even though she wasn't at the summer of '69's defining music festival). Joni's own version anchors this breakthrough 1970 album, which also features "Big Yellow Taxi," "For Free," and classic singalong "The Circle Game." The Low End Theory First released in 1991, this Tribe Called Quest album was immediately recognized as a classic. Its best rhymes, from "Scenario" and "Buggin' Out," have since become entrenched in the vocabulary of modern rap, recycled, and reimagined by a new generation of emcees. As a summer soundtrack, you could do no better b "The Low End Theory" is relentlessly funny, whip-smart hip-hop gold. Troubador The sultry sounds on this enduring 1976 album b with hits like "Cherry" and "Traveling Light" b will carry you through a humid afternoon like a slow roll in a ragtop. J.J. Cale's blues-infused rock provided a wellspring for such guitar giants as Eric Clapton (who covered many Cale songs and collaborated with him on an album just last year) to Mark Knopfler. Masterly lyrics add some edge. Lovin' Spoonful b Greatest Hits "I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun, and fall on my face on somebody's new-mowed lawn." The underappreciated Lovin' Spoonful, a hippie jug band from New York City, made that inviting confession in their summer smash "Daydream" four decades ago. Also on the same album: the great escape anthem "Summer in the City." Houses of the Holy The cover of Led Zeppelin's fifth record isn't bright orange for nothing. This album is a sunburst of jangly and jagged riffs, epitomized by "Over the Hills and Far Away." From the James Brown pastiche, "The Crunge," to the reggae of "D'Yer Mak'er" (pronounced "Jamaica") to the rollicking swell of "The Ocean," with its doo-wop coda, this is music for July's "Dancing Days." - -Monika ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2007 23:35:30 EDT From: Motitan@aol.com Subject: Re: Joni mention in article Ah sorry.

I'm on cloud nine (number nine, number nine) after looking at them from both sides now after this flight tonight, after a most wonderful wedding/lovefest weekend. (Is it a jmdl sin to post if you are running behind the times, before you have caught up on all the digests? I'm sorry...I have tons of unread emails. I hope you are all doing well and have not driven past any tragedies.) It's very late when I walk in, just after having taken my baggage off the carousel (TIC! I'm captive on a carousel of time...) and taking my Space Buggy into town, with a lovely night ride home beneath the Matala moon (the moon is so low and orange and gorgeous ce soir!) between the fine white lines of the free freeway. I hope my talking, as it rambles, makes a little sense. I won't talk about the ceremony of the bells and lace right now (that will be another post), but I just have to share a few Joni things before I lose them. I had a layover in Charlotte NC. Forget sitting in the airport bar with a priest -- I needed something to eat, so I bought a "Tar Heels Turkey Sandwich" and thought of you, cher Joseph P., and Mr. & Mrs. SCJoniguy, and Marilyn Nelson (Hi Richard!) who asked me at the anti-Bush demonstraton last month: "Does Joni Mitchell go to UNC Chapel Hill?" LOL... After that, I needed something to read on the next flight tonight, so I went to a bookstore. I almost bought Al's "The Assault on Reason" but it was full-price (I never like to pay full-price, plus I was looking for a sweeter fare), so I looked at magazines and newspapers and stuff. Nothing appealed to me until I saw the latest Rolling Stone (TIC! reading Rolling Stone, reading Vogue....). It's the Fortieth Anniversary edition, about the Summer of Love 1967. Yeah! That's the ticket to ride! It kept my rapt attention until up go the flaps, down go the wheels. Good stuff! But I call your particular attention to page 63, a little piece by Graham Nash. I'm too shooby doo bop to google it for you right now, but in it are these little Joni mentions: "...I loved Laurel Canyon. The gatherings of people were incredible. It was where David and Stephen lived. You could walk up the way to Joni's place...." and "...I finally moved to LA in 1968 -- on December 10th. I had a party that night at Crosby's. Joni was there. I went home with Joni -- and didn't leave for a couple of years...." JONI! Do you know how hard it is to contain yourself when you read about Joni on this flight tonight, and not stand up and announce the good news to the whole airplane? Or at least your seatmate? I think I gasped to myself, and then kept good self-control (fifty fifty, fire and ice....but Christ, you know it ain't easy!) Okay, that was tonight. And when I flew out to Kansas City on Thursday, I read this in the newspaper I had with me: "Amy Dickinson Breaking up Internet affair can hurt too Published June 28, 2007 Dear Amy: I got involved in an Internet/telephone romance with a woman who lived 700 miles away. The relationship ended after 11 months. During the time we were involved, I met her once and had a wonderful time, fully expecting to see her often and to try to build a long-distance romance. Some of the reasons she couldn't see me didn't add up. As time went on, I knew that she had been lying to me. I talked with a couple of people about this, and they told me to run away as fast as my feet would carry me. Well, our relationship ended a couple of weeks ago, and I still feel lousy. I didn't think that an emotional relationship (without a physical relationship) could be this difficult to recover from. Any advice on moving on? - -- Am I Nuts? Dear Nuts: It is completely possible to become so wrapped up in an online/telephone relationship that when it ends, it feels like a major breakup. Emotional affairs truly are "affairs of the heart" and can be surprisingly persistent because thoughts and feelings resonate long after physical sensations have been forgotten. In a relatively short amount of time, however, you'll be happy that you dodged this particular relationship bullet. Everybody recovers differently from failed relationships, but some women choose to self-medicate through writing in journals, taking long walks and listening to Joni Mitchell albums. I assume that there is a male equivalent to this -- but no matter what, it should involve friends. They'll pull you through. I'd love to hear from men with tips on how they recover from failed romances." Vive la Joan! With love to all, wishing you a pleasant dreamland, Patti P., porous with travel fever _________________________________________________________________ http://imagine-windowslive.com/hotmail/?locale=en-us&ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_mini_pcmag_0507 ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2007 #197 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
