Joni

Of all Joni Mitchell's albums it's 'For The Roses' that I go back to most often. Almost as stark as 'Blue' and only slightly less resigned, nevertheless I draw fresh strength from it everytime. She's recently become characterised as a 'grumpy old woman' which I personally think is bollocks but there you go. Anyway, just incase anyone on here has been put off Joni because of this FTR is currently available for less than 4 quid on Amazon. You won't regret it!

She's done it!

Have been having a peek at Jill Sobule's site every now and then to see how she was doing in attempting to raise $75,000 to make her next record. The issue was debated a little on this site you may recall. Well, it would appear she has hit her target!

For some reason, and I'm not a fan nor had I even heard of her before David mentioned it, I'm more than a little chuffed for her.

The Lefsetz Letter

Just wanted to big this up from your Blog Roll. It really is the best thing i've come across on the internet for a long time. Only just got round to subscribing a couple of weeks ago and wasn't expecting the amount of extremely entertaining emails i'd get in my inbox. Well worth investigating. I recommend the archives too, just read the Celine Dion Tickets post - priceless! Although it made me feel slightly bad too as i'm gonna be trying to put some money in Bruce's pocket, 6 months in advance of the gig, tomorrow!!

Gratuitous Bruce link...

Is there ANYONE who enjoys their job more than Bruce?
