And, my 2008 best is not only for albums released in 2008, but albums that I discovered this year. In no particular order : 1. Coldplay - Viva La Vida or Life and All His Friends plus Prospekt's March EP 2. Miles Davis - Kind of Blue 3. John Coltrane - A Love Supreme 4. Herbie Hancock - River The Joni Letter 5. Carly Simon - No Secret 6. Leonard Cohen - I'm Your Man 7. Patti Smith - Horses 8. PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love 9. Stevie Nicks - Bella Dona 10. T.Rex - Electric Warrior Only 1 2008 released album made it. There are so many great albums I discovered this year, but no hiphop/rap/R&B. I noticed that several listers praised Lil Wayne's Da Carter III. I haven't given the album a try. So I don't know. My last rap album that I love was Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. After that, i was chickened out with all those bling bling, N words, words that rhymes with F words, and most of the genre's music videos where they put women on its lowest point of view : only as a sexual object (i don't want my sister to be treated like that).

Coldplay - Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Dec 2008 22:46:32 -0500 From: "Mark Angelo" Subject: Re: JMLD JoniMitchellLyricDiscussion : Jericho The first thing that came to mind when I just thought about those particular lyrics was Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love". From Song Facts: "This (song) is about the fear that rules all of us in one way or another, in particular the fear of love. The hounds of love that are hunting you is imagery for love itself as something to be feared, to run away from lest it catch you and rip you up." And scanning Kate's lyrics reminds me so very much of Joni's "Help Me" (I think I'm falling in love again). So perhaps Joni feels the confidence to let the walls come tumbling down (remove barriers - eliminate defense mechanisms) - as well as to let those "hounds of love" or those kenneled dogs within her to be set free, that is to say that primal sense of fear we can have to letting ourselves be open to experiencing love (because of past hurt and pain). - -- - -Mark in Florida On Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 11:42 AM, wrote: > I always thought of the dogs as a symbol of her passions.
