I would have liked actual discussion of the album too, but some things are a worthy sacrifice.

i like this record, I like the first two okay but they get on my nerves, this one doesn't. It sounds like the Kick Inside. Maybe someone already said that but I can't scan past the unicorn jpgs.

Wow, she sure ain't no Vampire Weekend:
Joanna Newsom, the week's most-talked-about release, lands further down at No. 75. The long-awaited, highly-ambitious three-CD Drag City set "Have One on Me" sold more than 7,000 copies in its first week, and gives the critically beloved Newsom a new high on the big chart. Her 2006 effort, "Ys," debuted and peaked at No. 134.

for something as hyped as HOOM, 7000 copies in one week doesn't sound like much...

though i always wonder with releases like this how many copies are sold at non-Soundscan reporting shops...none of the three shops i most frequently shop at in Mpls report to Soundscan and they are pretty much places that would sell a lot of copies of shit like HOOM.

xpost that's a question, actually - it used to be that double albums scanned as two albums, so that if you sold 10,000 copies of your double, it'd scan as 20,000 sales -- is that still the case, does anyone know?

I have to say, I tried listening to my first copy a second time, and it wasn't the same. I buy a new one every time I want to listen, which is about three times a day. Am assuming that there are many like me.

I actually looked this up the other day b/c I was wondering about Newsom's potential sales. And this is not actually the case, if it ever was. The RIAA does count each disc as a discrete unit, so HOOM would only need to sell 166,667 copies to go gold. But in terms of Soundscan reporting, single-disc albums, triple albums, and box sets are all counted as one unit.
― dylan's craggy larynx (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 March 2010 21:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Also, I think I've kind of figured out why I'm not feeling HOOM as much as Ys. From a 2007 interview:
I don’t fuck around nearly as much as I used to with the idea of polymeters (the old “playing-a-part-with-my-left-hand-that’s-in-5/4-and-playing-a-part-with-my-right-hand-that’s-in-3/4” routine). There’s a bit toward the end of “Only Skin” on my last album that could be viewed, if you were the sentimental type, as the death-knell of that whole meter question. In my brain. It has sort of stopped being fascinating to me and started feeling wanky. Like, proggy. I have resisted going down that road for years now, the prog-road, and I started to realize that was the only place I could go with the meter question unless I just kind of laid it to rest.
― dylan's craggy larynx (jaymc), Wednesday, 3 March 2010 21:35 (fourteen years ago) link
releasing a triple record chock full of long songs is a strange move for someone scared of going down the prog road
