Joni loves to dance, and that song is an irresistable makes-you-move- number. In the mold of The Police's "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da (or some combination thereof) that she also was in love with back in its day. I first heard the New Radicals purely by accident, on a Philly radio station when I was working up there briefly in 1999. Bought the CD the next week, love it still.

I'm loving the "discovery" of all of these excellent early Joni songs. Y'all are going to flip over the new Big Yellow Taxi CD, I've heard some snippets and it's amazing stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNQTQIeLJuc Bob NP: Nils Lofgren, "Wreck On The Highway" ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.

Shadows and light - a photographer's delight - vljc Leading off with the vljc, there is a minor Joni mention in today's Toronto Star, dedicated to Earth Hour. They've listed ten songs for the mood with, what else, BYT leading the pack: WHO TO HEAR Some hits to help set the mood: 1. "Big Yellow Taxi," Joni Mitchell. 2. "Watching the River Flow," Bob Dylan. 3. "Eve of Destruction," Barry McGuire. 4. "Catch the Wind," Donovan. 5. "The Future," Leonard Cohen. 6. "The Ocean," Led Zeppelin. 7. "Fake Plastic Trees," Radiohead. 8. "The Man Who Sold the World," David Bowie. 9. "Across the Universe," The Beatles. 10. "New Soul," Yael Naim. source: http://www.thestar.com/article/407075 There is also a lovely series of photographs in the Toronto Star today dealing with light. In the hard-copy, the photographer, Lucas Oleniuk, describes how he took the pictures and what he hoped to achieve, but I can't find that on the website. You can see the photos on their website here: http://www.thestar.com/fpLarge/photo/404780 Catherine ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?

It's one of the reasons my future wife thought I might be a good risk and went out with me ... actually a few women liked that shirt enough to go out with me. Anyway - it the shirt had a silhouette of Joni - long straight hair with bangs phase. I think I got it from Historical Products. I'm trying to find that image of Joni. Anyone know where I could find it? **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

I have not even scratched the surface of the sampler or sequencer. I use it mostly for sounds and there is a hell of a palette there. When I need a fast sequence I still use my Ensoniq TS-10 which is such a joy to use since it is so user friendly and you can have modules hooked up to it as well. They are pricy but I was able to nab one new for $1,800 and managed to get the two piano cards for it as well. Even though I am no longer a dealer I could still get one for around the $2000 range if you need one.

I agree. But i can't find any references on the album sleeve. How's that possible? I mean, usually if an artist uses another artist's work, then it'll be informed on the album sleeve. (e.g track 9 contains a sample from .... ) Rian NP. Carly - Nobody Does It Better another question : Why did Joni pick Off Night Backstreet to be the only single from DJRD, instead of Talk To Me (which i think the strongest song from the album)? ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.

(e.g track 9 contains a sample from .... ) Yes, I did notice after listening to DJRD for 28 years that she was using the Satisfaction lick. I think because the chords are minor and different that it does not resemble Satisfaction enough to be a legal problem. Neil Young's "Mr Soul" uses it, too-I also did not notice this until reading that Young said so. I suppose the Stones could have hired a lawyer but they have probably borrowed a few riffs in their time as well and may not want to open that can of worms. Samples are another matter-when they first started, people just used them without permission. Eventually the courts had to decide it was not legal, so now you have to pay a royalty to use them.
