Saying anything more would probably just prove me redundant. However I will say this. I still don't understand the big deal with signing with Starbucks as some make it out to be. Joni had to sign on with SOMEONE. If it wasn't this then she would have had to go with some record company which she has stated she despises. She wants to release an album, right? Do you want to hear this new album? You do want new music, yes? She needs an outlet. Why not choose one that will probably treat her well? How this is selling out is beyond me. If she really was all about and only about money, she would have made 15+ more Court & Spark imitation albums. Same format. Same style. Fairly accessible material with countless interviews and appearances. But she didn't and I doubt she's going to really do all that now. She's simply about to release an album backed by a known name. Had it not been this it would have been something else. This is business. Deal with it. You're going to have a new album. Be happy and move on. - -Monika, avoiding conact with people, in the crabbiest mood known to mankind ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 22:57:26 EDT From: StDoherty@aol.com Subject: Re: onlyJMDL Digest V2007 #223 In a message dated 7/26/2007 8:35:31 PM Eastern Daylight Time, owner-onlyjoni-digest@smoe.org writes: Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 08:15:42 -0600 From: est86mlm@ameritech.net Subject: Joni Mitchell on the E channel Caught a note on the E channel yesterday about Joni and Starbucks. Flashed 2 different pics of her. Can't wait! Laura My sentiments exactly. Forget all the other nonsense - we're getting a Joni recording. Hope that doesn't sound rite - but I give at the office. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2007 13:19:26 +1000 From: Mark-Leon Thorne Subject: Shine Sampler Hi folks. I decided to extract the little samples of songs from Shine that was previewed in Amanda Ghost's BBC interview and compile a sampler of the upcoming album, Shine. There are samples of six songs of varying length. One of the tracks' names doesn't correspond with the track list that Bob supplied. It is the instrumental that Joni called, "Gratitude" so that's the title I went with. It is probably track 1 or track two - One Week Last Summer or This Place. The file is only about 12MB. You can pick it up here http://arunaurl.com/k12 Enjoy a taste of Shine.

Go ahead - throw fruit, whatever. I am certainly excited for the new record regardless of what it ends up sounding like (I'm sure I'll find something to like about it), and I'm excited that Joni's deal is already getting such a big media push. But here's the thing.. As an industry insider, I can't even begin to tell you all about the beating Paul McCartney took for his new CD - and part of it is b/c it got pushed to the masses. The other part is who was doing the pushing. I get several music press newsletters and Joni's already getting beaten up. So - what I see happening now is: Joni puts out Shine and rather than it making the little splash in more musically discerning circles, it's gets forced on all these people who don't have the interest or the patience, resulting in more negative press. My understanding is that the last few JM discs have sold under 50,000 copies a pop - hard to believe, but I'm pretty sure that's accurate. So, sure - SBX may be able to move more of them (mind you, SBX is only responsible for about 45% of the McCartney sales) than she'd sell otherwise. They were probably able to offer her more dough up front for the disc(s) and maybe she'll see a better percentage on the actual sale of each copy than would be the case with, let's say, a division of Warner. But - if the disc gets publically skewered, Joni's going to get pissed. More enraged. More embittered. And getting the second disc out of her is going to be like prying open a.. well, like pulling teeth. >My boycotting SBX is only going to result in one thing - me drinking shitty coffee.< na uhuh :~} I don't know where you live but around here there is much better coffee to be had than starbucks kate ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2007 #224 ********************************* ------- 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?
