Joni Mitchell worship thread

[kid charlemagne]

kid charlemagne normally says it's this one. i think his exact words were 'one of those rare covers that's better than the original - they own this song now'

sus is the notorious big yellow taxi hater.

does he really say that to you? last time i saw him he called it 'the greatest fucking song of all fucking time' and kept trying to send me an mp4 of it over bluetooth. he was really insistent

I'll listen to her right now what's her best song

both sides now a bit of a chalk pick, but i genuienly think it is amazing. i will start my project tomorrow.

Great picks Kid. I prefer the 90s version of Both Sides Now but otherwise perfect picks.

@linebaugh I also love "Electricity," that's my favorite ever

 

[kid charlemagne]

i'll have an updated list when finished with project

i will find

this glassy softjazz glide is my fave:

all about a terrible place you love to be

prob ‘hejira’ overall tho

find her a little wordy as a lyricist I’ll admit

 

[the ig]

this airy open sound I also like, westcoast watercolour, edge of easy but the chorus gives it just enough weight, yeah I like the dan too so shoot me…



patchy affair ‘wild things..’, recent £3 pickup!

@kid charlemagne have you seen

 

[kid charlemagne]

nice. i might watch that documentary tonight or tomorrow.

 

[kid charlemagne]

got it on now. idk if theres a patti smith thread. but shes very hot and also a woman musician who i listen to and respect..... she looks so fucking coked out in this clip

 

[kid charlemagne]

i love these

 

[kid charlemagne]

this here is a land of contrasts.... i kind of hate the electric guitar rock band show off for this song, especially when you look at the early live version of the song, but... his scream sing kind of works tho, its so emphatic and loud it brings a whole new authenticity and belief in the lyrics. i overall love the 1975 concerts but this song in particular has always confounded me.

dylan mentions lines from ginsberg, frost, and whitman, lines that are still remembered and quoted today. he then says that poets today dont connect to the public concioussness like they used to. is this true? why is it true? dylan then says that its singers now, lyrics are now what are remembered and quoted today. are they worthy of this?

 

[kid charlemagne]

to my point on hard rain, why did dylan feel such a need to do the big rock band for hard rain but not this song? hard rain wouldve been done much better stripped down like this

 

[kid charlemagne]

the same point, but the 60s version of this song is remarkably better.

finally made it to joni. her interrogating this guy about why he distinguishes between male and female songwriters, "am i not in the same conversation as bob and leonard?"
