talktoolooseI'm listening to Joni Mitchell's new album, Shine, with one ear while I read about ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
untoward not peeing in a bucket.
So far, I hate the album as I sort of thought I would. For a women with great ears, she has the shittiest taste when she gets near any keyboard that plugs in. Here she dials up millions of cheesy sounding patches and puts out what sounds like a tupperware-Scarborough-basement-with–faux–wood-panelling kind of record.
This is the third album in our house named "Shine". The first is Frida's wildly new wave, synth-based, intense second solo English album which was produced by Steve Lilywhite if you can believe such a thing. It has some great songs on it but I hope she fired her stylist. The title song is great even if it makes absolutely sense. And Twist in the Dark is demented fun. I must find out if the video is on Youtube.
(EDIT: HERE IT IS!)
The second is an EP by Cyndi Lauper with a killer title song and the rest bad cheese-rock filler. What's sad is that there was an earlier unreleased version of the album which was all awesome, awesome dance pop songs. Something contractual went wrong and the original Shine went away leaving the sad remaining one.
(EDIT EDIT: Here's Cyndi doing Shine on some cheesey talk show)
If you are making music, don't name your album Shine, please.
