This Cup Is Half Empty

Keeping with their tradition of releasing albums from past their prime artists from decades ago, Starbucks has the "comeback" album from Joni Mitchell.

The music will be her first album of new compositions since 1998, and has a planned release in late September. Mitchell described it as "as serious a work as I've ever done" with some dark lyrics, which is the kind of exciting news that any coffee drinker wants to hear about a 64 year old Canadian folk singer.

Paul McCartney's recent album was played relentlessly at Starbucks franchises and the disc sold 447,000 copies - 45 percent of them in Starbucks stores, said the company, who looks to but will have nowhere near the success with Mitchell's album. There are not enough 50 year old lesbians to even justify making the album, let alone the push Starbucks will be giving it, but never underestimate the power of a folk songstress!

One is Joni Mitchell, one is a horse
