Fellow DJs, if you do not own "Blue" by Joni Mitchell, you owe it to yourself and your love life to go out and purchase it right away. This is the CD that every adolescent girl worth having a long-term relationship with has listened to - repeatedly - and most one night stands will recognize and respect.
First, the reasons why you should buy this cd, and then how to apply this CD in specific situations.
1) It's just a damn good CD. Anyone who's into folk music, the 60's, politics, or just good song writing should check it out. Especially fans of CSNY and Simon & Garfunkel, but really, the music is incredibly acessible to anyone.
2) An excellent insight into the mind and heart of women. Joni Mitchell is the definitive confesional singer/songwriter on this album, so take advantage of that. She offers you a look into what women think before, after and during a relationship, and more importantly what they feel. This is incredibly useful for any DJ who wants to try to create a connection.
3) It's a sexy CD, it just has that "in the mood" groove to it. Put it on with a special someone and you'll start feeling a little freaky. Long stares. That sort of thing.
4) Owning, and play this CD is social proof to the girl you're with that you're not that bad - that you can be trusted. And we all know how important trust is. A typical response is, "you like Joni Mitchell?" A response that mingles awe with trust. Yes, you love Joni Mitchell. Of course you do. You're a sensitive guy, you understand what a woman goes through. Best of all, if you listen to the album enough, you don't really have to lie about that. You do know what a woman goes through, you do LOVE Joni Mitchell. but even if you don't, you can always say you do, which will still get you points, sex, what have you.
5) It really is a phenominal CD.
Ok, so those are just a few of the reasons why you should own "Blue", and why it will help your game. But how do you apply it. In my experience, there are two situations that call for this, and several that don't. Don't play it while hooking up with some girl you met at a club. Just tag her. No. Joni is for friends or someone really special to you.
1) A friend. One of the most succesful uses I've had is to invite a friend, who is a girl, over for a few drinks, or maybe a puff of the old mary jane. While you[re sitting togeter, you say, "You mind if I put on some music?" She'll say she doesn't, and then you slip on Joni Mitchell. but it can't be too smoothe... you need to look through your CDs first, or she'll get suspicious. But if you play your cards right, she'll really respect you, trust you, and if you've got game and confidence, hook up with you.
2) Girlfriend/Hookup. This one only works if you haven't played Joni mitchell before, but you're in the first stages of a relationship. Maybe you've just made out a few times, maybe she's given you head. Whatever. The next time you go to make out, put "Blue" on. She'll be amazed. She'll trust you. Things will move a lot quicker from then on. Maybe even on that selfsame night.
I hope this helps. It's not gonna get the girls into your room, but once you have them there, this cd really does the trick in keeping them there.
