Joni Mitchell Day Thread

hadaking

Hi, everyone. It’s me, Corn. This is my first Open Thread. Today is Joni Mitchell’s 75th birthday. She is my all-time favorite musician. On the off chance you’re not familiar with her work, I wrote an Artist Spotlight on her, which was the first piece of writing I ever contributed to this site. In September of this year, The Music Center announced a set of tribute concerts in Los Angeles to commemorate her legacy, featuring performances by a variety of peers, contemporaries, and diehard fans. Happy birthday Joni, and happy posting everybody. Continue reading Joni Mitchell Day Thread

hadaking

It’s Nirvana. It was always ever going to be Nirvana. They ran away with the first seed and haven’t had a single competitive matchup yet. There’s no reason to think they won’t defeat Beck handily. Their seismic impact was unmatched and not for nothing, their tunes still hold up shockingly well. But no one likes a foregone conclusion. When you vote in a tournament, you’re not always going with what you like best, just whatever best available option remains. So before we congratulate our tournament winners, I want to give everyone a chance to advocate for their own personal favorites … Continue reading 90s Music Tournament Finals: Offer me alternatives
