The official "What are you listening to right now?" thread

@salUTE As a professional musician, what do you think of Joni’s chord arrangements?
I really enjoyed C&S and Blue. Sometimes, though I love her, I felt after The Hissing of Summer Lawns I struggled to enjoy her as much. I was weaned on Steely Dan too… But as an artist, writer, painter and sceptic, I always enjoy seeing her interviews and have nothing but respect.

I’m not all that familiar with her work, mostly I recall the stuff she did that was bigger hits in the 60s and 70s. I do love the way she plays Big Yellow Taxi, with an open D tuning and some simple fingerings that easily produce sus4 chords (ala Keith Richards). It makes me wonder if she discovered that technique herself or if not who showed it to her.
(EDIT: and I’m FAR FROM a professional musician :slight_smile: )

I greatly respect Joni, but have to admit I prefer Amy Grant’s version of Big Yellow Taxi… but then Ive been following here since I became Born Again in the dorms at Weber State in 1981… We’re old friends :wink:

Not a band but a fantastic independent non-profit radio station based in Seattle with a presence in the Bay Area too. Some might be familiar with KEXP but for indy music a great station.

This is one of my favorite KEXP sets. It made me a huge fan of both the band and KEXP.

I’ve never been a big metal fan, despite trying hard in the 80’s (sorry Skiny). But I heard this Pantera song the other day and can’t get it out of my head.
