Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (RIP blogs)

ha, meanwhile one of my favorite things ever in music are meter shifts where the main rhythmic pulse stays the same but the beat changes, like the swing from 6/8 to 4/4 in Walt Mink's Miss Happiness which is built off of a steady eighth-note pulse, or the rhythmic shifts in a lot baroque/renaissance music where you have a piece that starts in a 4/4 tempo that has a b section that takes the half note, divides it into 3 beats, and continues on in a much faster-feeling 3/4 but still is in a steady tempo up at the macro level (see for example Hassler's Cantate Domino)

just real quick: obviously that column's full of a ton of maybe and it's almost as if and perhaps we should think about statements -- like, Que, you totally don't have to think about the effects of your personal opinions; I just wonder how the way we collectively discuss stuff maybe changes the environment. (I don't know that ILX is uniquely hyper-critical, either: there are scads of places where people can be kinda wary.)

a big part of that claim, right, is that people are actually odd/strange; that inside every person-who's-just-like-every-other-person lies the unique quality of an individual's creativity.

and yeah, J0hn, you're absolutely right about that particular almost as if idea -- though I think part of what's getting me is that this quote, above, is actually a mentality that Lady Gaga has laid public claim to way more than a lot of quarters in indie! (I think Tom mentioned this on Tumblr -- rallying the "little monsters" and all.)

If there was one part of the piece that felt off to me, it's that in my experience there have been a bazillion more arguments over the artistic validity of Lady Gaga than Joanna Newsom (largely because I don't really know anyone IRL who knows who Joanna Newsom even is).

If this thread were an album it'd be 210 minutes long and get a perfect score

That "Virile Males" guide to Joanna Newsom was... well. Awful.

yeah that was super embarrassing, for vanity fair, for anyone reading it, for the universe

I was looking for a picture of a unicorn shaking its head "no" to post in solidarity but I found this instead:

the horse-like body represents health care; the horn, reform

the GIS results for "obama unicorn" speak for themselves imo

Wow, there are kind of a lot of Obama unicorn images?

Dems need a new animal mascot, sounds like. or just add a horn to the donkey.

add a horn to the donkey = gd sex euphemism

only if it a euphemism, for having sex with donkeys

the donkey certainly gave me the horn

i feel a bad donkey spell comin on

obama unicorn pics are for quick replies to people who wanted more reform & change & attention to what he campaigned on than they're gonna get iirc

wrong thread i kno ok

no let's make this a political thread

ok joanna newsom is a fascist

it is a political thread: unicorns are a metaphor

if gavin newsom wins lt. gov post, joanna newsom will potentially be able to influence california politics

Why does unicorn in that one have truncated horn?

blog vandals

pitchfork

Ugly Betty ate it

it is stuck inside obama

Thought maybe it was some kind of Hellboy thing, though I don't really know what the shorn horns are supposed to signify in HB.
