has anyone written about the influence of the Waldorf School on Joanna Newsom's music/lyrics? Cuz it's gotta be huge.
I thought she was more of the Statler School

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 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

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.

I'm just not a big fan of anything that sounds like Joni Mitchell stabbed occasionally by a cattle prod.

ya i dunno... its a weird voice sure but... its not ugly?
― max, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:23 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
oh it is pretty ugly sometimes

― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:27 (fourteen years ago) link
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.

I'd love to see Judy Collins Sings Joanna Newsom. Might actually redeem a ton of these tracks for me.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Glad to see this devolved into yet another argument about her voice.

im interested in getting to the bottom of what people hate so much about her voice--cuz its not like a "oh well shes always flat" or something right? like there is something about her tone that seems to cause some kind of visceral reaction in mordy and dan

I think Regina Spektor singing Joanna Newsom's songs would be pretty great.
xp: For me, it is the extreme nasal tone combined with the baby lisping.
