You know how Starbucks has it's White CD line? Where an artist, say Yo-Yo Ma, will choose 15 songs by his favorite artists, and they'll sell it as "Yo-Yo's favorite songs" or whatever? Well, I just discovered this genius thing they're doing -- they're now selling the COMPANION volume -- where instead of Yo-Yo picking all his friends' songs, they pick his. These come in a dark cover.
I saw yesterday, the two Joni Mitchell ones. The White Album, where she picked her friends' songs. And the Dark Album -- much more exciting to me -- where her friends picked hers.
Graham Nash's favorite Joni Mitchell song is "Blue."
I love this on all levels -- the organicity, the evolution, the innovation, the weave of love and care now wrapped around those songs, the lineage, the cool-compilation-now-available-to-me.... everything.
