Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (RIP blogs)

I was about to say, no one made an easy "the album is produced by the lonely island" type joke or such.

wait, is that me or you?

It ain't me!

Aaanyway. Why is that "sweet, Es(a)me!" song so gorge?
sigh :(

i liked milk eyed mender fine but ys was pretty boring imo

Well then.

Makes sense, tbh. All the new songs are long.

THREE discs you're kidding.

Why is everyone so excited about Paul Newman's wife?

Saw her play last night.

A LOT of new stuff, a few piano based numbers in the middle and <gasp> almost an outbreak of 'ROCK' was threatened until she quickly returned to the harp. Really enjoyed the long *cough* prog rock-lite *cough* arrangements and Kate Bush, I mean Joanna, sounded great.

And yes, she looked extremely teh hotness.

THREE discs you're kidding.

this is her Titanic

how were the tunes though lord byron? did you come out whistling the new ones?

'In California' (I guess it's called) is still in my head, but I'm no whistler I'm afraid...

A pretty good recording from the Sydney gig last week has gone up on D!MEAD0Z3N with around 6 new songs, band sounds great too, strings, brass, minimal drums.

Well, now we can reveal a little more about Have One on Me. For one thing, it's a triple album. You read that right: Have One on Me will take up three CDs and three LPs. Ambitious!

my album of the year already, and i haven't heard a note

actually terrible album cover of 2010?

Yeah that's awful.

I don't mind it, but it makes it look like it's on DFA or something.

maybe she's into punk now--good for her

the song on the drag city site is really really good

It's very pretty though kind of minor & interlude-ish compared to the other tracks :P

25 bones for a triple LP ain't bad!

I skipped Ys, proggier doesn't mean better for me, but I think she's a pretty fucking excellent lyricist & that first album had some very solid jams on it

chances of me ever making it through a triple album that's not on Dust-to-Digital or Deutsche Grammophon are like 1000-1 tho tbh

lyrics are even better on ys than her earlier stuff imo. snagging the not van dyke parks'd live arrangements of the songs is pretty crucial too i think. but if u cant handle 13-minute harp epics u should stop running with the big dogs and get on the porch.

if people were to ask me what single album I would advise them to listen to before they die, it's Ys. period.

porch looks pretty nice tbh

xp lol you really want to advise all ppl to listen to an album that 75% of them are going to hate?

fortunately, no one asked you, kshighway ;)

Ys is great, people are nuts

but if u cant handle 13-minute harp epics u should stop running with the big dogs and get on the porch.

yeah if I'm listening to 13-minute epic songs in a rock/pop mode they better have a shredding solo and some wicked distortion or I want my money back, that is just how I break it down to an extent

I also hate Gabriel-era Genesis so even tho my hat is genuinely & sincerely off to Ms. Newsome's lyrical chops any day I gotta take a pass on any 13-minute epic songs until/unless they involve a Rat pedal & some corpsepaint

how about couplets about rats, is that cool?

yeah

Ys >>> MeM

Ys is more showtuney Americana than prog.

75% is my conservative estimate btw

its fine if u want to stay on the porch bro

u will still have to endure the wrath of my mocking t-shirt/fake license plate

i mean even that albums fans have to admit it has all the ingredients to be extremely polarizing?

also it's called Ys

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

i love porches. wish i had a porch.

Me too.

planning on sitting on my porch this spring, listening to joanna newsom. or maybe Genesis, not sure.

lol

and playing cafe world, baby.

Mr. Que: :-)

call all destroyer: it's definitely polarizing, and, sure, a lot of people will hate it. still, my recommendation stands. one record before you die: Ys.

It's the record I'd play someone before I killed them, definitely.

Ys is more showtuney Americana than prog.

ok this is where I get pretty haterific. been listening to showtunes for the last hour-plus. to which showtunes would you compare the stuff on Ys?

still, my recommendation stands. one record before you die: Ys.

please don't say things like this about any record unless Bernard Purdie plays drums on it - thanks
