And it so tells Joni's story from Magdalene Laundries Love Dame Judi in it. And what a difference one hairstyle makes. In that move, in that role, she looks every bit her age and then some. In real life, after a stylist team has gotten ahold of her, she looks radiant and so youthful! I too highly recommend it. Lindsay Date: Tue, 27 May 2014 13:12:31 -0400 From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Subject: Philomena & The Magdalene Laundries I'm sure that someone has had to have mentioned this, but I don't recall it. I watched the Oscar-nominated Stephen Frears-directed Philomena last night and loved it. It's a true story about a young woman in Ireland who gets pregnant and shipped off to the nunnery to serve penance. She labors in the Laundry while her child is sold to an American couple. After 50 years she begins the search for her child. Dame Judi Dench is her always-amazing self in the lead role; just watching her eyes and her facial expressions change is a wonder to behold. Doesn't go where you think it will and it helped me to understand just how unfair and brutal this scenario was for these young women. SCJoniguy gives it 2 thumbs up.

For me, that's essential listening (well, for a few of us here I'd say). It sort of ties things up in my mind. It ties together various musical threads from the preceding albums and works in the new band. I'm still a bit in awe that she did not load it with C&S songs. In a sense, I see it as a companion to C&S actually, so this works well. I also think her voice may be at it's most appealing for me on MoA over all other albums. I see where you are going with C&S and HOSL being connected, In France is a definite bridge. However, in my mind, HOSL is more of a transitional album (and what a transition!) that allows for the sonic shift that is Hejira. The door then opens for DJRD which I always pair with Mingus and S&L more than Hejira funnily. Like you, Sue, I love the progression across these albums. No other artists progression fascinates me as much (hopefully that will redeem me for my Joni criticism a few weeks back;-) I think I will have to listen to C&S and HOSL together now, thanks:) GARRET NP - Eddi Reader, Back the Dogs (from her latest album - I think so many of you guys would love this) On Thu, May 29, 2014 at 1:48 PM, wrote: > Hi Laura - glad you heard "Help Me", I agree it's always like a cool > summer breeze unto my ears when I hear that guitar intro.

McNamara" Subject: RE: IFTKOMS and C&S vs. HOSL Bob, I love this thread! It's so interesting to see the progression from FTR, where Tom Scott and others sneak on to some of the songs, and then full blown sound on Court & Spark ... If you include FTR in the progression songs, Rainy Night House and Judgement of the Moon and Stars could show inklings of Car on a Hill and Down to You, plus the couplets of Lesson In Survival and Let the Wind Carry Me lead in to the couplets of People's Parties and The Same Situation ... and it suddenly intrigues me how those four songs express much the same longing, isolation and sadness ... I see the transition from Court and Spark to Hissing not as linear ... I agree that IFTKOMS (which is a very fun song to play!) could have been on C&S, but there is a different theme to Hissing ... what I call the existential boredom of suburban blight ... Jungle Line to Harry's House all play up this theme to the tune of smooth jazz ... but then comes Sweet Bird and Shadows and Light where I really see the first clouds of Hejira forming ...

Anyway, I'm hoping to hear a Joni song on the radio today to keep my streak alive. Sunday I heard "Love Or Money" on Sirius/XM, Monday I heard the MOA version of BYT on Radioparadise.com, and yesterday I heard "In France..." on an NPR internet station. (NPR has a great phone app for those of you who may not know with a plethora of radio options, World Cafe, All Songs Considered, great great stuff). Anyway, I've always loved In France, and it was the most obvious thought for a single even if it didn't really chart. I do think it was closer to C&S in terms of sound and structure than most of the other songs, especially with her choice of following it with the out-of-left-field-didn't-see-that-coming "Jungle Line". I've always considered HOSL to be a radical departure from C&S, but now I'm not so sure. After all, both albums incorporate a lot of the same players, both albums have portrait songs as well as autobiographical songs, both have an old-school Lambert, Hendricks & Ross cover on them. you could maybe make a case that HOSL is a much more cryptical album lyrically. I think that Hejira was definitely a change in audio and even lyrical direction, but now I'm not so sure that HOSL was as much. Now I would be tempted to pair C&S with HOSL and Hejira with DJRD. Wondering what y'all think.
