Artist spotlight: Sonya Kitchell

Ahhh, youth - it’s wasted on the lovely blondes who have talent.  Ok, let me tuck my raving envy back under the rug and introduce Sonya Kitchell from Brooklyn, NY.  This chick is the real deal, already performing with Joni Mitchell and Herbie Hancock - she’s not even twenty yet, people - and can groove […]

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 […]

100 Greatest Christmas Downers of All Time

Entertainment Weekly has a great list of holiday bummers posted — just in time for holiday cheer I suppose. Just kidding. This list isn’t meant to help you celebrate the season but rather dwell and mope in it. I like a jolly season myself but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to hang with some […]

Joni Mitchell: Angry but Still Fun

I’ve been meaning to post this for over a week now. It’s more cool than time-significant though so it’s all good.
projo.com has an article posted right now about Joni that covers many aspects of her life. Her music hiatus, new album Shine, thoughts on music today, and more are discussed including plenty of juicy quotes. […]

The Top Ten 60s & 70s Vinyl Albums for Island Life

Sometimes I think I take these lists too seriously. I just keep thinking now how much it would honestly suck to be marooned on a desert island with just 10 albums.
I started with a list of oh, right around 50 or so albums brewing in my mind and had to whittle that down to 10.
It […]

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 […]

This Month In Music: September 2007

Music of interest that is…
September is such a busy month that I hardly know where to start. Of course we just wrapped up Farm Aid but that doesn’t mean that there’s not Farm Aid stuff still a happening.
The best news (obviously) is that my favorite girl Joni has her new album Shine coming out on […]

Sleep In John Lennon’s Bed… For Mere Pennies

Lots and lots of mere pennies; 196,100 pennies to be exact. Or a cool $1,969 of the green stuff. The third, and possibly most famous John & Yoko Bed-In was held in Suite 1742 of Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth hotel in 1969. And you can stay in that same room if you’ve got the money.
The […]
