I mean, one time I was wearing a western style shirt with pearl snaps and ripped it off and threw it into the crowd (and by crowd I mean the dozen people waiting for their turn to sing).

The bouncer interrupted me mid performance and sternly requested I put my shirt back on. Which I did without missing a beat.
 
Weird, on mobile, allmusic works fine. On my new laptop, it doesn't wonder if it's an edge thing?

edit: probably, I just went to pay a bill onlline and couldn't access that site's portal. Guess I need to download mozilla.

Same kind of thing happened to me with Weather Station right before this, but a first listen of Joni is like a fever dream... like I can't focus on what she's saying - something about her voice and cadence makes it hard for me to follow her. I have the same problem with Shakespeare too.

I've told y'all, I ain't a smart man.

This album is kinda of like an on the road fever dream so that tracks.

This is probably the last album of Joni’s imperial phase and it’s a beaut, especially Amelia and Cyote.

Shakespeare is understandable, English has changed a lot in the last 400 odd years, plus it’s either Sonnets or written for stage rather than to be read in a traditional novel or story form.
 
I completely forgot I owned this Joni. Copy is rough though. However, the mix is very different. Band is not as forward in the mix as the Qobuz. Much more natural and musical sound. Also easier to listen to Joni. I wonder why the mix on the hi-res stream is so weird? Anyhow, really dig this a few listens in. May be my go to Joni for a while, because I'd like to get the lyrics (as always).
 
So, she's a German actress. Looking at her IMDB, I've seen two movies she was in Ready to Wear and Prospero's Books. I remember neither as I have not seen them since they came out before my oldest was born - so you know a whole lifetime ago. Evidently, she is quite the popular Cabaret singer as well. She has a pretty nice sized discography going back to 1986. She is famous for covering Kurt Weill who I don't know but is evidently a big influence on all the artists she covers here and yes The Divine Comedy is the support on the entire album.

Kurt Weill is great. The Divine Comedy is not great.
