What's with the livefroggin'?

thinking about getting this record. waiting to see how the liveblogging goes though.

guess he fell asleep

Just made it to disc two, and so far I agree with what max said upthread:

i mean this is like the simplest, easiest, most cliched thing to say about it, but it just sounds like shes "maturing as an artist." theres no dramatic shift in tone or sound, just a solidifying of her skills, like shes getting more and more comfortable with what she does.

8:40 p.m., Feb. 23: Fell asleep listening to disc 2 of HOOM. Dreamed dreams of ethereal hussies, sinister jaggers and bandits on the king's highway.

I can't wait to pick up the vinyl
Just so I can listen at 45 rpm

People who liked the songs on Ys but found the production a little too suffocating might like this one more; there's definitely more space.

She's singing about daddy longlegs and I can't stop laughing. I hate all of you.

Finished my first full listen, liking it a LOT better than Ys already. But don't really take a lot of stock in me saying that, as I never fully came around on that one anyway. Definitely some songs I liked a whole lot more than others ("Good Intentions", "Baby Birch", "Esme" and "Kingfisher" all immediately come to mind) but I didn't find myself wanting to skip anyway. This will certainly take a lot more time to digest.

I think the only thing left to do is to make ILX's own Have One On Me like a certain U2 album.

Nobody notice a 'New York Tendaberry' vibe about this...

with JN, it helps to listen along while reading the lyrics. It's a very solid record/Go Long, still a favourite.

OMG YES

This must be done.

If Joanna looked like Beth Ditto this thread would only have five messages posted to it.

Has anyone here interviewed Beth Ditto in the past 6 months?

how many posts would there be if she looked like lady gaga? amy winehouse??

Real talk.

If a harp is strummed in a forest and nobody hears it...

... does a baby unicorn die?

Remove Bookmark from this Thread

just find her preppy/ivy league/entitled steez rly offputting

if Beth Ditto looked like Joanna Newsom, The Gossip would be bigger than Jesus right guys

Standing In The Way Of Centaur

i actually thought, then, 'the next post is going to be some kind of pun on standing in the way of control, but with something twee and/or mythical'? and then i hit return?

refresh, rather

she isn't really preppy or ivy league
west coast hippie/art school maybe

let me just ask a somewhat loaded question:
if joanna newsom was beth ditto instead - but nothing else were different - how would you feel?

those songs would sound really, really different

I never would have made my "goose being put through a garlic press" analogy ;_;

i like mama cass and francoise hardy - how can this be?

so wait if joanna newsom was in the gossip and sang and beth ditto rode unicorns and dated the cast of SNL, how would i feel? is that the question?

yes

i would feel. . . strange

has anyone written about the influence of the Waldorf School on Joanna Newsom's music/lyrics? Cuz it's gotta be huge.

i think beth ditto can sing better than JN, for one thing.

also, i feel sorry for that poor unicorn

i hope we're on the same page here que fwiw

i hope we're on the same page here que fwiw

what page would that be
