@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 
)
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 
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.
Absolute classic. I approve.
So wonderful.
I second this.

She’s Bbbaaaaaaaccckkkkkk. Dropped this DURING the Grammys last night. And you thought Bad Romance or Judas got stuck in your head…
OK Eurovision selection season in full swing… Here are two very notable acts that won for FInland and Malta respectively. As this is the 69th Eurovision Song Contest, all sorts of naughty humor is flying around 
That Finnish one is already legendary, and the Giant Mike stand swing and fireworks… erupting… with her name in giant letters will go down as one of the greatest finale moments of any Eurovision ever…
Very moving performance. What pipes!! Apparently this was a large outside performance celebrating the end of the Pinochet regime in Chile. Love the barefoot dancing.
Love Jacob Banks.
Very soulful voice !
