Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (RIP blogs)

very diane cluck. Except diane was better. Easy to be around is classic

I wasn't repping for her chops, just saying it looked really hard to play that pattern on the harp and sing a somewhat complicated melody at the same time. I do like Dorothy Ashby tho.

I'd rep for her chops. Technical proficiency is one thing, but she's writing consistently interesting stuff for what is essentially either a diatonic or pentatonic instrument. I could go for some non-waltzes more often, but waltzes do fine.

It's just so hard to keep it all straight
With all the proficiency

Taking bets: last song on this will be a 25 minute autotune solo

last track is :

6 - Does Not Suffice 06:44

show me the money

That is what I get for not using Google.

does not suffice

albums not out for weeks and already this thread has given us unicorn tears and scifi boners

joanna don't ever stop proficiently playing yr magical africa harp

"have one on me"

i hope this sells 1,000,000 copies so drag city can reissue more bert jansch records

also: sort of shocked that joanna newsom is still in her 20s. surprised that anyone is still in their 20s actually.

I love how deliberately 70s "Good Intentions..." is.

Don't worry. You're likable enough, J0hn.

I love how deliberately 70s "Good Intentions..." is.

i thought first of mary mccaslin, and then, very strongly, of joni mitchell (it's the phrasing).

Yes, I definitely hear that.

so glad this will not leak//brings back the old excitement of going to a record shop and picking it up!

"According to the website what the new album will sound like is a bit of a mystery, since advance copies are not being sent to critics in an effort to avoid a leak of the album.[9] Joanna's last album, Ys, was leaked two months before its original release when it was left unprotected on servers belonging to music review website Pitchfork"

wiki

anybody knows whos the producer?
"good intentions" sounds like something Jim O'rourke could produce and it's surprising to see her move from freak-folk to 70's rock-jazz.
very good track.

Ugh. Tell me all about the "no review copies." I get mine the day it comes out. Boooooo.

No review copies is a good idea. The album will sell fine.

Oh, it is. But GIPCo. can't hold me over forever.

blame pitchfork

Oh man, Ys was one of the records people took from that unprotected P4k folder, right? massive lols

wait, you guys haven't heard the leak of this yet? wow

Hope you listened to all three discs in one sitting.

the difficult life of the music critic
xpost

The album of the year does not leak, it must be purchased.

"blame pitchfork"

i tend to do this with everything in my life.

sink overflowing? FUCKING PITCHFORK.
cigarette prices go up? FUCKING PITCHFORK.
12 year old girls with braces saying "I LOVE YOU PANDA" at animal collective shows? FUCKING.PICKFORK. INDEED.

pickfork, pitchfork, same difference.

^Totally disagree about the lack of emotional resonance on Ys. *angry face*

New song up. "Kingfisher"

http://www.dragcity.com/

nothing's different from Y's but no complains here

i like it quite a bit better than the abrasively busy production on Ys. these tracks breathe

http://pitchfork.com/news/37875-joanna-newsom-gets-her-own-scholarly-tribute-book/

I'm buying this.

My general indifference has suddenly become massive appreciation for her comedic timing (starting here and going forward in Sophie's feed):

Interviewing Joanna Newsom yesterday, we sat beside the pool at a Hollywood hotel and the sunshine was so bright we had to move tables.

Which meant moving away from Quentin Tarantino who was busy holding court very loudly about how he wrote Inglourious Basterds

and how he "woke up one day and wrote on a piece of paper 'JUST KILL HIM. JUST FUCKING KILL HIM'"

to which Joanna muttered "damn, he stole my line"

hahahaha

that book has the potential to be amazing or horrid, probably both in alternation. a kind of scansion of her lyrics wouldn't be so bad. i'd hire nabisco to write that.

academics writing about music is a near-guarantee of total fail.

Joanna Newsom confirmed for Matt Groening ATP Festival

( insert Lisa Simpson joke here )

Not sure how over 2 hours of Joanna Newsom in a triple album format could be ALL GOOD. I find it highly unlikely and already don't LOVE all the new songs, but I'm intrigued to say the least. That said 2 + hours of her singing (generally non stop) is just too much

you don't need to listen to it all at once no?

its really only 40 mins cause youre supposed to listen to each cd simultaneously on three different players

i've seen the new album reviewed in a few places...i thought DC decided against promos?

there isnt supposed to be any info released before 2/19--they were hella strict about it

i think those are just rewritten drag city press releases.

This one is from Wire apparently
