Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (RIP blogs)

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

... does a baby unicorn die?

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 thought she was more of the Statler School

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

what page would that be

5

Come anticipate Kill Bill with me

statler school?

I would still find both appalling and listen to neither.

xxxxxxxxxposts

yeah, what does statler school mean? hotel management? seriously though, I think Newsom is deep into Waldorf stuff!

I was wondering something similar -- would I like Newsom's compositions more if they were sung by someone else. At this point I've gotta imagine anything would be an improvement over her voice.

oh jesus, i've been pwned by a muppet joke

Okay you people who aren't getting the Statler joke are disgusting savages etc.

Hahahahaha keep bringing the lols Joanna Newsom thread!

its funny how much her voice turns ppl off

ohhhh i get it. ha.

i listened to one of the new songs yesterday and i could not stop laughing at her voice.

still want to see her on the muppet show, though.

I'm just not a big fan of anything that sounds like Joni Mitchell stabbed occasionally by a cattle prod.

you guys have no idea how delighted you have made me

Which one would she duet with?

kermit?

Sweetums would be great.

I vote Mahna Mahna.

come on, has to be a duet with Fozzie

SWEETUMS

Dude looks like a freak-folk roadie anyway.

AND THEN HE COULD EAT HER WHEN THEY ARE DONE

(had to google sweetums, never knew that thing's name)

And hey, he's got a good public speaking rep!

But he hangs around with suspicious people sometimes:

ya i dunno... its a weird voice sure but... its not ugly?

Have now listened. I think it's her weakest album by a considerable margin, by far the least melodic, the least well-sung, the least in control of its dynamics, and the least, um, retroactively prepossessing.
