In some studio sits a poet... [Patti Parlette ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:14:27 +0100 From: Paul Castle Subject: Desert Island Joni Recently discovered 8tracks.com - a great site for anyone who enjoys making the equivalent of mix tapes - and sharing them online. Before you can publish for online streaming each mix must include a minimum of 8 tracks. You can >"upload MP3s/AACs or select tracks from the 8tracks library to craft a playlist, add context with description and art, and publish your mix on 8tracks.com and a personal webpage."> To comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act they set certain stipulations - - -- No more than 2 tracks by the same artist or from the same album. - -- Listeners cannot see all of the songs included within a playlist at the outset and then fast-forward or rewind to songs of interest - -- DJ's are only allowed to list the names of 3 of the featured artists in their description of the mix - -- 8track's license requires randomized playback the 2nd time a person listens to your mix. Just had a go at putting together a "Desert Island Joni" mix - found it really really hard having to limit it to just two songs by Joni herself and then to narrow it down to just six favourite covers - (but it does allow me to go back and change any of the tracks should I wish to) listen @ http://8tracks.com/studio16a/desert-island-joni I can (legally) tell you that, in addition to Joni herself, the mix includes two wonderful covers I only discovered very recently - by Angus Stone and by Alicia Wiley - which I found in a "Cover Lay Down" blog post which includes 17 Joni covers - see http://bit.ly/3tulH8 - pretty sure Bob's got them all! very best to all PaulC (who gets his buss pass on Saturday - gulp!) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:04:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike and Patti Haskins Subject: Richard Metzger love Joni http://www.dangerousminds.net/index.php/site/comments/little_heard_joni_mitchell_performance/ Patti Haskins ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:49:48 +0000 From: Patti Parlette Subject: now sjc? In some studio sits a poet... Glad you liked it, Laura! I've been showing it/sharing it all over town and it's such hit, especially with our language and literature teachers and students. "Palin comparison to Joni"....LOL! Took me three reads to get it, but I finally did. NO ONE compares to Joni, esp. this dimwit who said in her speech that it is possible to be pro-development and pro-environment. I think Joni would disagree. I also think that SP would shoot Joni's bear if she had a chance! "We eat, therefore we hunt." Argh! Did you notice the BIG fiddle, and the drum? I sure do fear the beating of HER drum! And so once again Oh, America my friend And so once again You are fighting us all And when we ask you why You raise your sticks and cry and we fall Oh, my friend How did you come To trade the fiddle for the drum You say we have turned Like the enemies you've earned But we can remember All the good things you are And so we ask you please Can we help you find the peace and the star Oh my friend We have all come To fear the beating of your drum The peace and the star, Patti P. William Shatner's marvelous poetic adaptationof Sarah Palin's farewell speech:http://www.salon.com/politics/war_room/2009/07/28/shatner_palin/index. htmlDimwit. Hi P, Thanks; that was deLIGHTful!!! In my finest Sarah speak I must say, the Northern Star is dim when used in the wit of poets who Palin comparison to Joni.

I got this message from Amazon today, and it struck me, like lightning from above, encore une fois. Joni wrote these words, and here they are using them in their sales pitches and songs from the hit parade of Woodstock books. JONI RULES! xo, pp Dear Amazon.com Customer, As someone who has purchased books on music and the '60s from Amazon.com, celebrate the 40th anniversary of those three muddy days on Max Yasgur's farm in upstate New York with our lists of books on the Woodstock festival, the culture of music and the '60s, and the performers who made history.

I put the Angus Young track on my latest Sweet 16 disc for Lucyfest. And a host of new covers - just around the corner!
