Hey guys,
My name is Damien and I am a 19 year old currently enrolled at UCI
pursuing a degree in philosophy. I became interested in Joni Mitchell
through the VH1 program 100 Greatest Women in Rock, the special on TNT, and
my mom's own remembrance of her obsession with C&S back in the day!
I have currently Joni's entire 70's output, plus SAL and Hits&Misses. Right
now i'm really into DJRD, Mingus, FTR, Hejira, C&S. Currently i'm obsessed
with
Mingus (so good its criminal) and DJRD (is Paprika Plains not genius?). I'm
really the only person I know my age who listens to Joni. Although one girl
in my dorm during the past year lent my her copy of LOTC. (And this was the
Fine Arts Dorm :r)
I must say that she is so original and I can hear so much influence of her
work in that of today's artists. Paula Cole, Tori, Bjork, Sarah and so much
more. Her guitar work is so innovative. I personally think Mingus is the
greatest example of this-never
heard an acoustic guitar played like that before.
Well I have so much to share I hope to frequently contribute to this list.
Until next time bye.
