Remedy du Jour -- October 27, 2012

The incomparable Joni Mitchell needs no introduction here. More than any other singer, as I attended various universities doing as little as possible in the 1970s, Joni Mitchell defines that period musically for me. We've got some excellent stuff today. Here's the playlist.

Concert video, live at London's Wembly Arena in 1983, excellent quality, includes —
- Free Man In Paris (0:47)
- Song for Sharon (4:23)
- God Must Be A Boogie Man (11:35)
- Big Yellow Taxi (15:54)
- A Case Of You (19:24)
- Carey (24:19)
Hejira — the title song from the 1976 album, live in Japan
Coyote — two album versions, from the live album Miles of Aisles, 1974, and the studio version from Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, 1977
You Turn Me On (I'm A Radio) — from Miles Of Aisles, originally from For The Roses, 1972

Your Uni days are marked by this great stuff. And mine? They're being marked by "artists" threatening each other with video game weapons, using auto-tune, encapsulated in, and epitomized by, Nicki Minaj. Here is Ms. Minaj's seminal work, "Stupid Hoe," which has 64,507,198 million YouTube views http://youtu.be/T6j4f8cHBIM

Joni has a voice that makes me feel like she's talking specifically to me. Minaj? Ugh. I'm going to playlist Joni Mitchell on my YT channel and tweet her music out. Have a nice weekend Dave.
