Obscure? Not Anymore.

You're playing Thomas Dolby doing obscure Joni Mitchell. How amazing is that!

In fact, I was - and the Dolby cover itself was pretty obscure, too, given that it was available only as the B-side for the One Of Our Submarines single in the UK. But then I remembered that it was also featured on Dolby's "Live Wireless" embellished concert video. Note that I say "embellished" because the entire show is presented as though it's Dolby, playing a projectionist, presenting the concert as though what's on stage is the thing being projected. At one point, the film even gets stuck, causing all participants on stage to freeze.

"Since it's a video," I mused for about a nanosecond, "it must be available on the net..."

It is. Officially. Courtesy Dolby's old label.

Here it is.


And that's why I like the Intartubes.
