Last night I was in the kitchen cooking or something and turned on the radio and they had some special on Joni Mitchell. It was chockful of teeny interview snippets of Joni talking about her life and her early work and others talking about the same.

It just seemed. . . odd so I had this sudden horrible thought that something bad had happened. That's not true, is it?

I could listen to Who's Next over and over and over

iTunes tells me I haven't listened to this entire album since 4/21/2004. So that'll make a good album to start out the day with.

I like the album, but I love early Who so much more....

I think she's got a new CD out, sumi. The CBS Sunday morning show also had an interview with her. She's back in music after having stepped away from it for several years.

Joni Mitchell has a new album I think (based on distracted NPR listening). So it was probably that, and not that she's died.

Also, there's a tribute album to Joni out including work by people like Bjork and Prince and Elvis Costello.

Whew.

Are either of the albums any good?

The Magnetic Fields just announced a few shows in Somerville, NYC, SF, LA and Seattle, in February & March. Tix just went on sale: [link]

Let's see - they got the East coast and West coast - but aren't they still forgetting part of the country?

The flyover part?

Yeah, that's the part of the country I was trying to remember....

ION, is it just me? I think Who's Next has four good/great songs, but everything else seems like filler to me. Isn't it supposed to be one of the most awesome albums in the history of the universe or something?
