Yeah, I know the Crows will get trounced but I’m crazy about this song. You tell me, whom do you prefer?

Hippie Chick Smackdown?

In an interview with Britain’s music magazine, Mojo, Joni Mitchell spoke of the rampant competition between she and her powerhouse contemporaries: Joan Baez and Janis Joplin. Doesn’t look like they embraced the whole “peace and love” vibe, eh?
“Janis Joplin was very competitive with me, very insecure. She was the queen of rock ‘n’ roll […]

It’s my last hippie post so I may as well play some Ministry

To be honest I can’t find my favorite goodbye-minded Joni song. Which of course, is a song, I’d love to share. So, how about I post the lyrics to the Joni song and play some Ministry? Sound good?

See You Sometime - this tune from Mitchell’s album For the Roses is one of my favorites. […]

Herbie Hancock & Norah Jones Cover One of the Best Joni Songs Ever (Yikes)

Since September I’ve been avoiding Herbie Hancock’s River: The Joni Letters. If you read this blog ever or know me personally you know that I don’t do Joni Mitchell covers. I just plain don’t. I’ve never liked one. Recently, someone sent me a link to a video of Court & Spark from this album and […]

Neil Young’s Harvest Earns Top Canadian Honors

Harvest has hit the winning spot on a recently released list of the top 100 Canadian albums.
Neil Young beat out greats like Joni Mitchell (bah), the Band, Gordon Lightfoot and the Tragically Hip. Although, I agree Harvest is an excellent album and does deserve top honors. The list is complied in journalist Bob Mersereau’s new […]

Joni is Old School Green

My girl Joni was green before green was the new black. She’s just that good.
To tell you the truth this isn’t one of my favorite Joni songs. I love it I just don’t obsess over it like I do most of her music. I’d say that has something to do with the fact that a […]

It’s An Amazing Shiny Day

It’s here! Today is the huge release day for Joni Mitchell’s new album Shine!
How exciting is that. Pretty exciting.
Today Starbucks is hosting a “Lunch & Listen” event to recognize and celebrate Shine. From 11am to 2pm Starbucks shops across America and Canada will play Shine for visitors. Nice. It almost makes me want […]
