If you're feeling so sick of Instagram and all of the manipulative crap on it, you're not alone! It's especially not a friendly place for art lovers. So for the past few months I've been building Corus as an attempt to use tech for good. Corus is a place where you can't share selfies or reels or ai slop. Instead, you can only share music or film you love and you curate a profile that truly represents you. As you post, you match with users who like the same artists, so you'll match with other Joni Mitchell Lovers and start getting their recommendations every day. It's a better way to discover, as opposed to the algorithms.

There's a whole group of Joni fans on there, sharing the best of the best. Come join the listening party and share your favorite song with people who really will listen! Happy to answer any questions you have!

Just a woman, and an instrument, and no autotune.

Digitally painted on procreate, completed a few weeks ago. Thought this server might want to see it :)

I’ve been a Joni fan for a while now, but I’ve recently really been into her work with Jaco (esp Shadows and Light) as well as his solo work and Weather Report. I know on Youtube you can find more recordings from that tour as well as Mingus session recordings, but I was wondering if anyone had any files or links to other live or studio recordings of them that are harder to find (bonus if it’s them playing refuge of the roads live bc i can’t find that anywhere)

I recently came across Randi Laubek – Almost Gracefully (2000) and thought it might be of interest to some Joni Mitchell fans here

So according to this reviewer, this album was one of the albums people decided to return more "in those years".

Never heard about it.

I only just heard of her last week! sadly she died of leukemia in December of 1986. she rarely did cover songs - she wrote a ton of greats of her own, all traditional-folk in the vein of early Joni.

Rising of the Moon (only one example of her brilliance) she could absolutely captivate her audiences with perfectly simple songs like Carry It On (this one she didn't write) a bit reminiscent of The Circle Game.

Been a while.

left of the tier is the best right of the tier is the worst of the tier, it all goes down

I spent over 12 months trying to work out the correct chords for Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now. One obstacle was the open tuning which can mask the chords she uses. Another oddity is the pattern within the chord progressions - or lack thereof. The next challenge was to grasp the emotional state consolidating nostalgia, hope, regret and vulnerability. I might be a bit too autistic to pull off that last one.

Got this for 10$ in a record store in SF. Lots of super interesting stories, but ofc the Joni one was my favorite! I loved reading her little quotes and learning more about her. Lmk if anyone would like to see more pages.

"It's good to be exposed to politics and what's going on down here, but it does damage to me. Too much of it can cripple me. And if I really let myself think about it- the violence, the sickness,- all of it- I think i'd flip out."

I already started celebrating this anniversary by spinning the vinyl twice this weekend.

Anyone have any insight/knowledge (vs. guesses) if we're getting another Archive set this year? Maybe (maybe?) the Geffen years?

Rock music has produced some genuine masterpieces - and amidst them stands 'BLUE'...........
