  1. Joni’s “Both Sides Now”

    I watched a movie this evening which featured the main actress singing "Both sides now" and is was moving until it became too musical-like for my taste. But now I'm in a Joni rabbit hole again, listening to all great versions of Joni performing that song. One of the earliest live video's I found was from 1969 and on the other end of the timescale there's the Grammy one from 2024 with Brandi Carlile, but for me the most touching rendition by far is this orchestral one from […]

    I really like her vocals and the orchestral arrangement here.

    Drinking a Canadian whisky, the name of which escapes me just now.

  4. It's Joni's world. We should just feel lucky to have inhabited it while she is still here.

    She might not be at the height of her powers, but this is still one of the most amazing songs ever written, and will always be one of my favorites.

  5. "... with UBI there are people who are recession-proof, do you not think it's a waste of money to have basic income going to them every month, when there are people in desperate need who could be having more?"

    "It's the tradeoff been targeting or universality. So if you get the tax system right, those people are essentially giving it back in tax."

  6. To understand the neoliberal tailspin that Aotearoa has been in since the 1980s, it's important to understand the true believers. Especially how totally immune they are to seeing the failure of their policies to achieve their stated goals.

    It's easy to assume that Roger Douglas is lying when he says that the neoliberal policies of Rogernomics - named for him - are the best way to pursue equality. But I think he really believes it:

  7. I've looked at life from both sides now
    From up and down and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all

  8. Tears and fears and feeling proud
    To say "I love you" right out loud
    Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
    I've looked at life that way

    But now old friends are acting strange
    They shake their heads, they say I've changed
    Well something's lost, but something's gained
    In living every day

    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From win and lose and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all

  9. Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
    The dizzy dancing way you feel
    As every fairy tale comes real
    I've looked at love that way

    But now it's just another show
    You leave 'em laughing when you go
    And if you care, don't let them know
    Don't give yourself away

    I've looked at love from both sides now
    From give and take, and still somehow
    It's love's illusions I recall
    I really don't know love at all

  10. Rows and floes of angel hair
    And ice cream castles in the air
    And feather canyons everywhere
    I've looked at clouds that way

    But now they only block the sun
    They rain and snow on everyone
    So many things I would have done
    But clouds got in my way

    I've looked at clouds from both sides now
    From up and down, and still somehow
    It's cloud illusions I recall
    I really don't know clouds at all

  11. A friend shared this video with me the other day and I can't stop watching it. I'm definitely a fan of Joni Mitchell's version, but this rendition of the song is 🔥AMAZING🔥 I love it more and more each time I watch it. They hit some notes and harmonies that give me goosebumps! Please watch and enjoy!
