Subject: Traveling in some vehicle...

So I've been driving this new car (new to me anyway)  for a few days now, listening to Hejira and Don Juan's Reckless Daughter and I'm blown away by how much clearer they sound on a better system.  It's like completely rediscovering the music.  Jaco's bass playing in particular sounds so good when you can actually hear it... or the guitar on Silky Veils of Ardor...so crisp and clear.

In the old car I had found myself subconsciously just choosing to listen to sports/talk radio most of the time because the stereo was so lame but now I'm finding I can enjoy listening to music again when I'm driving.  I know that there is a whole spectrum when it comes to audio equipment and probably just as wide a spectrum when it comes to what one person hears as opposed to another...but I've been so struck but the difference in what I'm hearing.  It's like seeing things a little blurry then putting on a pair of glasses.

Does anybody have any insight about this forthcoming title?  I 
stumbled on it while adding stuff to my LibraryThing account, and It 
looks promising.

Deb,
Based on Les's write-up on the the web site, I have preordered a copy:

" January 11, 2008:

Long-time Joni scholar and fan Lloyd "Chip" Whitesell's new book entiled
"The Music of Joni Mitchell" is to be released by the Oxford University
Press in July of 2008. Chip teaches music history at McGill University in
Montreal. He is the author of articles on Benjamin Britten, Maurice Ravel,
Bernard Herrmann, and minimalism, and co-editor of the book Queer Episodes
in Music and Modern Identity. The book is currently available for pre-order
in both hardcover and paperback. Chip's article from 2002 entitled Harmonic
palette in early Joni Mitchell is one of the all-time most-read items from
the Library, so this book should prove to be an important addition to any
fan's collection."
