Favourite thing about this discussion list: When someone points you back in the direction of a great recording that you had previously overlooked (recent example, Cactus Tree on MoA - thanks!)
Least favourite thing: When someone posts a 'me too' reply, followed by a two page quote of the original message! Seriously though folks, just joined the list a week ago and loving it. To give my twopenn'orth on recent themes.... Travelogue: Just fascinating! I haven't even got round to thinking whether its good yet. Hope she doesn't bring out another album too soon - going to take be a couple of years of listening 'cos I put on Otis and Marlena then get DJRD out to listen to the original, end up listening to whole album, etc. etc. (Hope she DOES bring out another album though!) Wish List: Yeah, I agree with Moon at the Window, and, sorry to whoever said it was their least fave but, Three Great Stimulants, which I think is a great song. Fave song performance: I guess everyone's trying to avoid the obvious or surely someone else would have said 'A Case of You' (original version over the BSN version, but only just). For the less obvious, the song that I seem to love more than most (going by the poll list) is 'The Wolf That Lives in Lindsay' - have to play it whenever I feel ' the stab and glare and buckshot of the heavy, heavy snow'. And the wolves thrill me (so much better that 'Kitty,Kitty'!) Least Faves: One of those 80's songs that I'd forgotten about until people here reminded me (e.g. Dancing Clown...). I think 'You're so Square' is TOTALLY square for the same reason someone said that 'Twisted' was ie not Joni (though I disagee - I love Twisted but I love Lambert, Hendricks and Ross) Whoa! Getting too long - I'll save the rest. But just one question that I've waited a long time to get answered... just how DO you pronounce Hejira? Phonetic spellings please! John -- John Sprackland
