Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (RIP blogs)

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

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

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

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

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.

it's not ugly, but it sounds like she's putting a "baby" voice on at times as she sings

oh it is pretty ugly sometimes

Fo shizzle.

her voice is HIDEOUS

I WOULDNT CALL IT UGLY THOUGH I AGREE IT IS HIDEOUS

some people like her music, some people don't like her music, none of us have anything insightful to say, and Mr. Que still isn't funny. lock thread.

i like his use of all caps.

I'd love to see Judy Collins Sings Joanna Newsom. Might actually redeem a ton of these tracks for me.

Glad to see this devolved into yet another argument about her voice.

she mewls like a baby tiger; this is the direction I think ILX's Newsom fanfic should head in - big cats

xxxxpost -- I think that post means you've just unlocked Level 4 on here.

im interested in getting to the bottom of what people hate so much about her voice--cuz its not like a "oh well shes always flat" or something right? like there is something about her tone that seems to cause some kind of visceral reaction in mordy and dan

xpost -- Fizzgig?

I think Regina Spektor singing Joanna Newsom's songs would be pretty great.

xp: For me, it is the extreme nasal tone combined with the baby lisping.

Alright Que, the cat made me laugh
