let me just ask a somewhat loaded question:if joanna newsom was beth ditto instead - but nothing else were different - how would you feel?

those songs would sound really, really different

I never would have made my "goose being put through a garlic press" analogy ;_;
― Jack the Dude-Kicker (HI DERE), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:08 (sixteen years ago)
i like mama cass and francoise hardy - how can this be?
― velko, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:08 (sixteen years ago)
so wait if joanna newsom was in the gossip and sang and beth ditto rode unicorns and dated the cast of SNL, how would i feel? is that the question?
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:09 (sixteen years ago)
yes
― idgi, mon (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:10 (sixteen years ago)
i would feel. . . strange
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:10 (sixteen years ago)
has anyone written about the influence of the Waldorf School on Joanna Newsom's music/lyrics? Cuz it's gotta be huge.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:11 (sixteen years ago)
i think beth ditto can sing better than JN, for one thing.
also, i feel sorry for that poor unicorn
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:11 (sixteen years ago)
i hope we're on the same page here que fwiw
― idgi, mon (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:11 (sixteen years ago)
I thought she was more of the Statler School
― Jack the Dude-Kicker (HI DERE), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:12 (sixteen years ago)
what page would that be
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:12 (sixteen years ago)
5
Come anticipate Kill Bill with me
― idgi, mon (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:13 (sixteen years ago)
statler school?
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:13 (sixteen years ago)
I would still find both appalling and listen to neither.

yeah, what does statler school mean? hotel management? seriously though, I think Newsom is deep into Waldorf stuff!
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:14 (sixteen years ago)
I was wondering something similar -- would I like Newsom's compositions more if they were sung by someone else. At this point I've gotta imagine anything would be an improvement over her voice.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:14 (sixteen years ago)
oh jesus, i've been pwned by a muppet joke
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:15 (sixteen years ago)

Okay you people who aren't getting the Statler joke are disgusting savages etc.

Hahahahaha keep bringing the lols Joanna Newsom thread!
― you gone float up with it (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:15 (sixteen years ago)
its funny how much her voice turns ppl off
― max, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:16 (sixteen years ago)
ohhhh i get it. ha.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:17 (sixteen years ago)
i listened to one of the new songs yesterday and i could not stop laughing at her voice.
still want to see her on the muppet show, though.
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:17 (sixteen years ago)
I'm just not a big fan of anything that sounds like Joni Mitchell stabbed occasionally by a cattle prod.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:19 (sixteen years ago)
you guys have no idea how delighted you have made me
― Jack the Dude-Kicker (HI DERE), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:19 (sixteen years ago)
Which one would she duet with?
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:20 (sixteen years ago)
kermit?
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:20 (sixteen years ago)
Sweetums would be great.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:21 (sixteen years ago)
I vote Mahna Mahna.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:21 (sixteen years ago)
come on, has to be a duet with Fozzie
― Jack the Dude-Kicker (HI DERE), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:21 (sixteen years ago)
SWEETUMS
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:21 (sixteen years ago)
Dude looks like a freak-folk roadie anyway.
AND THEN HE COULD EAT HER WHEN THEY ARE DONE
(had to google sweetums, never knew that thing's name)
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:22 (sixteen years ago)
And hey, he's got a good public speaking rep!

ya i dunno... its a weird voice sure but... its not ugly?
― max, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:23 (sixteen years ago)
Have now listened. I think it's her weakest album by a considerable margin, by far the least melodic, the least well-sung, the least in control of its dynamics, and the least, um, retroactively prepossessing.
― that guy who doesn't get it but doesn't know he doesn't get it (M.V.), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:24 (sixteen years ago)
it's not ugly, but it sounds like she's putting a "baby" voice on at times as she sings
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:24 (sixteen years ago)
oh it is pretty ugly sometimes

Fo shizzle.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:27 (sixteen years ago)
her voice is HIDEOUS
― Mordy, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:27 (sixteen years ago)
I WOULDNT CALL IT UGLY THOUGH I AGREE IT IS HIDEOUS
― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:27 (sixteen years ago)
some people like her music, some people don't like her music, none of us have anything insightful to say, and Mr. Que still isn't funny. lock thread.
― ksh, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:28 (sixteen years ago)
i like his use of all caps.

I'd love to see Judy Collins Sings Joanna Newsom. Might actually redeem a ton of these tracks for me.
