Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (RIP blogs)

toast without preserves
apricot aliquots, marmalade slathered
empty cots
swaying like
a white pony

I am disturbed by how suddenly Newsom photography has gone from "you have elf ears" to "please turn around and bend slightly forward."

Also I'm always really interested in perceptions of her voice, because some people obviously find it really childish/precious/"twee," whereas others find it kind of creepy and old-crone! Personally I tend more toward the latter of those two -- there is a creak in her voice that she's always using, and it can be faintly unsettling and blaring; it reminds me far more of an old woman than any sort of child (though I'll admit that our picturesque visions of the two things, when it comes to woodsy imaginative harp music, have a lot in common)

the bumper and the bear

attractive woman in having attractive pictures taken shocker.

her arm looks creepy and dislocated in that picture.

"arent you a big sci fi fan?"

What this has to do with anything is beyond me?

just sayin... he who is not into books about spacemen should throw the first stone at the musician writing songs about bears and monkeys

hoy hoy I am referring less to "attractive pictures" and more about some point where people started fixating heavily on her having a shapely ass

Dat ass indeed

it is a thing of beauty tho

"just sayin... he who is not into books about spacemen should throw the first stone at the musician writing songs about bears and monkeys"

So basically you don't know what you are talking about it. Got it.

this is due to the fact she went from queen of evony entry to haute couture in the space of a year

nabisco i think you're otm about the old lady voice

i kinda think it sounds like a kid's impression of an old lady.

lisa simpson with a lovely upper register

alex u are pretty butthurt eh

thought this was all a good fun joeks time

SF stands 4 SyFy

max you are misunderstood

i guess i am the monkey, in this situation, and alex in sf is the bear

Is that last photo Luna?

ilx is the bumper car and adam sandberg is cutting a hole in a harp

I can't wait to strip the skin off your body with my sickle.

Thankfully you've already heard Ys so I won't have to play it while I'm doing this.

everyone just take it Ysy

Ys is probably one of the few records in my collection I'll be still listening to as a Senior Citizen. Only Skin is probably the best song of the last 50 000 years.

shhh our cult is secret tin cub!

:-x.

I will try to take the bullets for all y'all by confessing that seeing Ys done live w/ orchestra made me quite literally feel like I was going to die, a lovely death of, u no, sublimity or some shit, something that's a few notches above any other, uh, 'experience of art' I've had. Most esp. the swelling strings in 'Emily'.

Also, I am 100% certain that this upcoming album is going to make the entire renaissance look like 1 big pile o shit.

LOL I love Joanna Newsom fans.

So much that you feel the need to spend the entire day in this thread adding nothing but snark. It really is love.

My snarky comments on this thread are the greatest wisecracks anyone has ever made on anything since the dawn o' time.

^100% not exaggerating at all.

plz wisecrack by my deathbed, alex

Have you heard Ys, Brad? Cuz I have to play it for you, before I smother you with a pillow otherwise.

wYscrack

Alex never stop bringing your magic to this thread

I didn't know what emotion was until I read some of Alex's Newsom zings, they were like learning to experience dawn for the first time

I still don't believe her voice, it all seems like an act. Will say as lame as the elfin persona was , can't say I love the new sexxxy--starring in MGMT and playing fashion parties one much more, although it's much more believable and "authentic"

Either way, still think she's putting on a voice

Seeing Ys live made me bored.

Either way, still think she's putting on a voice

xpost: doesn't Neil Young put on a voice, too? (not harshing on you personally, Emily's Cheese, just generally venting)
