dancerchick310 Posted August 30, 2007 Report Posted August 30, 2007 Joni Mitchell has a new album release Sept. 25 called Shine, anyone heard of it?? I'm really excited about this new cd because she hasn't had a release since 2002, so this one should be worth the wait. I became a huge Joni Mitchell fan ever since i heard Both Sides Now from the Love Actually soundtrack, i love how calming her music is. I play Joni Mitchell a lot at my desk while at work (fontana) just because it's so relaxing. Here's a link for some sample songs if anyone's interested, tell me what you think! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...ER&v=glance Quote
mjzee Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 Hmmm, what's the general consensus - record company shill? Quote
Van Basten II Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 Her previous posts don't inspire much trust, why the hell would you resort to shilling for a gal like Joni Mitchell ? Quote
mikeweil Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) The label is "HEAR MUSIC" - the joint venture of Concord and Starbucks. Mitchell's is the second release after one by Paul McCartney. Well ..... she arranged and produced herself. Herbie's new release The Joni Letters is also dedicated to Joni .....

Tom Storer Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 Naturally they don't mention who plays on the damn album. I hate that. Don't they know we jazz geeks NEED that information?? Quote

BruceH Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 Yes, my goal is to relax so much at work that I go into a coma. Quote

JSngry Posted August 31, 2007 Report Posted August 31, 2007 Well, I mean, yeah. Joni's not exactly "easy listening". I gather that some here are not "fans", and I am not a consistent one. But good god, the woman's definitely got guts and a vision, and a fair amount of her work is what I would consider "noteworthy" as far as successfully communicating both of those things. "Chilling out" is not what she's about, not at all. So for a "fan" to sorta make that insinuation is really an insult to this particular artist, I think. Quote
Alexander Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 i used to blow her off... Wait a minute. Slow down here. You "used to blow her off"? As in, you used to dislike her? You used to hold her in disdain? (as you seem to do for everything else I like, and I'm a big Joni Mitchell fan, btw) Does this mean that (gasp) you changed your mind? Can such a thing be? Clem! I'm...I'm disillusioned! You used to be almost George W. Bush-like in your certainty. Your judgements were absolute. Beck? Hate 'im! U2? Crap! Beastie Boys? Suck! Kanye West? Practically U2! Bob Dylan's "Modern Times"? Laughable! Some obscure stuff no one else has ever heard of? Genius! You were the Mohamed Ali of music snobs. You made Jack Black in "High Fidelity" look like a piker. And now this. To embrace (even to a tiny degree, as you admit) something that you once held in contempt...it's like the end of an era. You used to stand for something, man! I don't think I'll ever get past this... Quote

Just as "The New Bossa Nova" doesn't make for good running music, I'm afraid. Something's a little topsy-turvey in dancerchick's world. Quote

I don't think I'll ever get past this... Can't trust anybody these days, that's it this is the last straw, the last link i had regarding this society has been broken. I'm selling all my belongings, resigning from work and start living in a place removed from any links with the modern world. Quote

Alexander Posted September 1, 2007 Report Posted September 1, 2007 U2? Crap! Beastie Boys? Suck! Kanye West? Practically U2! Bob Dylan's "Modern Times"? Laughable! NOW yr starting to learn Alfie-- listen with your fucking ears & not Corporate Brand Loyalty (you fucking witless sap) & we will all be much better off. it's hard to believe but each day Modern Times gets worse, as the context of its asininity gets further & further filled out (esp. by pre-WW I records transferred courtesry Archeophone); music qua music the shit was dead on arrival, as you might recall some of us told you. but hey, if Best Buy hegemony is how you roll, all we can do is scoff & hope the kids weren't looking when you pulled another tantrum. (specifically, btw, it is Joni's disputed Geffen period which doesn't quite suck as much-- or in the same ways-- as first believed; Neil Young's Geffen period, by comparison, doesn't suck at all, except Landing On Water) elder don clementine, voice of the people Ah, but of course! And here I am listening to things like "Ladie of the Canyon," "Blue," "For the Roses," "Court and Spark," "The Hissing of Summer Lawns," "Hejra," "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter," and "Mingus," not to mention "Miles of Aisles" and "Shadows and Light," rather than "Wild Things Run Fast." Clearly, I've been sold a bill of goods. You know, Clem, I was just listening to "Ill Communication" and "Hello, Nasty" by the Beasties last night and thinking about how good they sound. But obviously, they don't. I just *think* they do. Too bad we don't all have your keen powers of observation! A pity that we haven't all been blessed with your incisive wit and unwaveringly good taste. But here's the thing that puzzles me, Clem. You say that it's "hard to believe but each day Modern Times gets worse." Does this mean that you listen to it on a daily basis? Why would you do that, if you dislike it so? And if you haven't been listening to it every day, how could you possibly know that it gets worse? Funny thing, because I've listened to it recently and it STILL sounds good! How can such be? Obviously, the problem lies with me. Clem, would you do me the honor of revoking my license to listen to music? Please? Clearly, I don't deserve such an honor. Or perhaps I should consult you on each and every purchase. Would you mind giving me your cell phone number so I can call you before I soil my ears with material that has failed to meet your exacting standards? In fact, I shouldn't even be here. Jim, would you kindly ban me from the forum? Clem has decreed it, so it must be! Quote

Something's a little topsy-turvey in dancerchick's world. first off, sorry to cause such a stir and for everyone not to think so highly of me. Really i just thought you guys would actually appreciate the news about albums. Its all about sharing new music that is coming out or even artists that I or others have not yet discovered. Take care.

randyhersom Posted September 4, 2007 Report Posted September 4, 2007 Why complain about suspected spammers when you can send them quivering in fear to the corner just by being yourselves! Shadows and Light does not suck. Deal with it. Quote
