Ugh. Tell me all about the "no review copies." I get mine the day it comes out. Boooooo.
― Kat Bee, Tuesday, 9 February 2010 06:01 (fourteen years ago) link
No review copies is a good idea. The album will sell fine.

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

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

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

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

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 Basterdsand 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"

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 )
― Salvador Dali Parton (Turangalila), Thursday, 18 February 2010 01:05 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― Emily's Cheese, Thursday, 18 February 2010 03:30 (fourteen years ago) link
you don't need to listen to it all at once no?
― by another name (amateurist), Thursday, 18 February 2010 04:03 (fourteen years ago) link
its really only 40 mins cause youre supposed to listen to each cd simultaneously on three different players
― jeff, Thursday, 18 February 2010 04:05 (fourteen years ago) link
i've seen the new album reviewed in a few places...i thought DC decided against promos?
― tincub, Thursday, 18 February 2010 23:23 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

And...it's leaked.
― Number None, Friday, 19 February 2010 20:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Did a solid job keeping it off the net for as long as possible, considering the record comes out on Tuesday.

It's a rickroll.

I'm not downloading it either way.

at 3 discs, this is the most ambitious rickroll yet

Nah, it's just astley mixed up with the animal crack box to thank ilm for what happened on the mpp thread.

so officially we can talk about this now i guess
its fuckin great

fans will dig it but no one else will be converted

unfortunately it doesnt all sound like good intentions paving co., which kind of sucks b/c thats one of my favorite tracks on the album
― max, Friday, 19 February 2010 21:24 (fourteen years ago) link
is it like ys?
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 19 February 2010 21:25 (fourteen years ago) link
in what way?
― max, Friday, 19 February 2010 21:25 (fourteen years ago) link
nothing on it is quite as... committed as ys, though she retains some of that shifting song structure
― max, Friday, 19 February 2010 21:26 (fourteen years ago) link
and she ditches the string accompaniment.
i mean this is like the simplest, easiest, most cliched thing to say about it, but it just sounds like shes "maturing as an artist." theres no dramatic shift in tone or sound, just a solidifying of her skills, like shes getting more and more comfortable with what she does.
― max, Friday, 19 February 2010 21:27 (fourteen years ago) link
ah. that's ^^^^^ what i was driving at.
since the string arrangements are the thing i remember most about the last disc -- and i'm still lukewarm on her voice -- not sure how i'll feel about the new album(s).
― Daniel, Esq., Friday, 19 February 2010 21:29 (fourteen years ago) link
there is arguably the least amount of filler in a 3-disc album ive ever heard, too
― max, Friday, 19 February 2010 21:30 (fourteen years ago) link
Man, it'll be a good Tuesday.
― Seriously what the hell is wrong with you that you think that is a great t (ksh), Friday, 19 February 2010 21:32 (fourteen years ago) link
it's actually available today. i just scored the vinyl @ amoeba, sf. guess somebody's worried about leakage
― If you can believe your eyes and ears (outdoor_miner), Friday, 19 February 2010 21:55 (fourteen years ago) link
Probably depends on what stores are in your area. Around here, we just have Newbury Comics and then Target/Best Buy kind of shit.
― Seriously what the hell is wrong with you that you think that is a great t (ksh), Friday, 19 February 2010 21:56 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah i couldn't get into her first 2 but the stuff i've heard from this one has me wanting to buy it
