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 (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.

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.

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

― 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

― 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

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.

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.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:28 (sixteen years ago)
Glad to see this devolved into yet another argument about her voice.
― you gone float up with it (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:29 (sixteen years ago)
she mewls like a baby tiger; this is the direction I think ILX's Newsom fanfic should head in - big cats

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.
― Jack the Dude-Kicker (HI DERE), Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:30 (sixteen years ago)
Alright Que, the cat made me laugh
― ksh, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:30 (sixteen years ago)
have you listened to the new one dan? not saying youll like it--the affectations are a little toned down tho.
― max, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:31 (sixteen years ago)
she mewls like a baby tiger
wo she couldn't get closer than THIS...
― Mark G, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:31 (sixteen years ago)
extreme nasal tone, and also her voice has a very sticky sounding character to me -- like almost mucous'y, like maybe her throat is coated in something.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:32 (sixteen years ago)
part of it is that some people just hate the timbre of her voice, and that hatred is exacerbated by the words she's singing. some people also think her voice is an "affectation," which she talks about in that Erik Davis piece on Ys, i believe
― ksh, Wednesday, 24 February 2010 17:32 (sixteen years ago)
Mark G wins
