ILM in mocking Joanna Newsom and the people who enjoy her music shocker!
Also, I never claimed that Ys is the greatest record of all time, I just said it's my personal favorite. That's it.

anyway yeah my "critical commitments" (aka "my favorite professors in college") tend toward the "its all surfaces, man" school, so im ok with pretty-sounding words placed in juxtaposition. i still like cam'ron.

Where is the monkey in the poster though?
you're right, this thread was better when people posted stuff like "album of the year and I haven't even heard it yet."

i like that inflammatory writ song off her 1st album which is 50% "yo this is a song abt a song btw" and 50% "clever wording"

cliffs notes--the monkey and the bear escape from the farm and travel together. the monkey makes the bear dance and sing for people in order so that they can make money to live on their own. the monkey keeps telling the bear that he loves her and its all for her benefit, that eventually they will get somewhere pleasant and happy. but the monkey is also jealous. he hears a rumor that the bear is bathing alone every night in caves near the sea. he goes to spy on her and gleefully plans on confronting her about bathing in a dirty place. but the its too late--the bear has left her skin behind and is swimming out to sea.

The best way to approach these things, kshingway, is to expect artists to shit on you.

I think this thread was better when it was just kshighway threatening to take Y's to old folks home and forcing people on their deathbeds to listen to it.

max: appreciated
"somewhere pleasant and happy" = "the feast in the east"
it's not an actual feast? :(

also "words that rhyme" is not the same as "clever wordplay"

the term "wordplay" should never have been allowed outside the confines of the academy tbh

can I just, as a public service to kshighway, suggest listening to Owen Pallett / Final Fantasy, if he has not already? depending on what precisely you like about Ys, you might really enjoy his new one. thank you for your attention.

Is that thing under the fence supposed to be a bear? It looks like some sort of badger.

my main problem with Ys, by the way, is that a lot of the arrangement seemed really ornamental and distant (as opposed to integral and necessary), which I think is why so many people prefer hearing small-group live recordings -- it'd probably have been a better record if she'd recorded it that way.
