Yeah she seems to have a pretty big fanbase among 20-something women. Not sure where this "women hate her" thing comes from.

Who is "joanna fucking newsom" and is there also a "joanna staying-pure-until-marriage newsom" out there?

oh for sure!, but there's a cultish sect perturbed by her departing from the insular world they imagined her in. i recall reading up on her australian shows and just about getting some idea of a setlist in between fans reassuring one another that she was wearing her hair down, wasn't wearing any high-fashion clothes or hotpants, etc etc. i wrote & deleted a long post cataloguing some of these insane JN-fan insecurities awhile ago, it's kinda hard to preserve anonymity. they're particularly frenzied re: baby birch.

If I'm hyperbolic when talking about Newsom's music--and I know that, at times, I am--it's because I really appreciate what she's doing, I really like her first two records, and I'm looking forward to listening to the new one soon. She's one of my favorite artists. But I'm not claiming that she's objectively the "greatest artist" or something, and I'm not claiming that other people are incorrect in their distaste for her.

harpcore
see if the itunes defaults consistently applied such great genre tags to my mp3s i might let it do its work. but typically it's more like "indie/alternative" if i pop in john fahey or "blues" when i pop in tabu ley rochereau ... or the dreaded "world" tag.
