framboise lambic is nice in small doses but in order to drink a whole lot of it you'd need to be really technically proficient

my respect for joanna newsom has gone way up now that I know she actually says things like "unicorn tears" in interviews

(turangalia, the thing is, I'm not a hater of JN - I think she's kinda terrific in some ways, and, besides, I think it's really kinda icky when musicians from the same side of the block snark & spit real-world venom, that is completely not my style - I'm glad as fuck that JN is making records that inspire people to flights of hyperbole, make them cry, etc. poking juvenile fun at ppl whose appreciation for classical music seems to begin and end with classically trained indie rock musicians, OTOH, that is exactly my style iirc, and besides, there are presently-working women songwriters who are considerably better than JN who don't get mileage because they don't give indie dudes a sci-fi boner, and that's the kinda haterade I can really get down with on an ilm thread or two)

So you don't think it's demeaning to lob in an assumption that all of us get turned on and THAT'S why we prefer Joanna Newsom to your own A list of female songwriters..

yes, I think it's the most demeaning thing ever & you should be outraged

itt j0hn lists female songwriters more worthy of boners than joanna newsom
― velko, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 22:48 (fourteen years ago) link
that's a random line which in no way communicates with the general landscape of her lyrics. and it has to be said she grew an enormous amount from the debut to ys
Oh, I know that. Like I said, I got over myself and eventually gave her a chance - very glad I did. But, really, thats a line that would have me rolling my eyes no matter who uttered it. But back when she was fist being hyped, you combine quote like that with the pictures of her with elf ears and you can 100% understand why people might not be on board.

I'm weirdly anticipating th new records and I TOO gave up on th attendant sparkle huzz of fuckedfulk. Its just her willingness to go on and on and on and on with all those lyrics. It kinda makes me feel safe in a dolphin net kinda feeling. A dolphin net w pillows and bubblehash. And a blanket. And NPR. Mmmmmmmmm

I wasn't repping for her chops, just saying it looked really hard to play that pattern on the harp and sing a somewhat complicated melody at the same time. I do like Dorothy Ashby tho.
― Mark, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 23:25 (fourteen years ago) link
I'd rep for her chops. Technical proficiency is one thing, but she's writing consistently interesting stuff for what is essentially either a diatonic or pentatonic instrument. I could go for some non-waltzes more often, but waltzes do fine.
It's just so hard to keep it all straightWith all the proficiency

so glad this will not leak//brings back the old excitement of going to a record shop and picking it up!

"According to the website what the new album will sound like is a bit of a mystery, since advance copies are not being sent to critics in an effort to avoid a leak of the album.[9] Joanna's last album, Ys, was leaked two months before its original release when it was left unprotected on servers belonging to music review website Pitchfork"
wiki
anybody knows whos the producer?"good intentions" sounds like something Jim O'rourke could produce and it's surprising to see her move from freak-folk to 70's rock-jazz.very good track.
