Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (RIP blogs)

Laurie Nyro isn't twee.

I saw her after Ys, and although I respect her songwriting and orchestration....it was just boring to listen to a whole concert of 10-minute songs. Plus, lately she does this really grating SQUEAK with her voice at the beginning of each new line.

Hooray for this sort of thing.

so excited for this but also glad that the hardcore will still be there clinging to cat-voice metaphors

im looking forward to this but yall should give up on trying to convince other people to like her

and the other half of yall should stop posting in threads about artists who u dont like

Sweet.

Seeing her in March with a 7 piece band (strings?)... really hope this is good.

hearing that it's a capella

Wait, what?

It's not a capella. Someone made a joke upthread.

ah, durrr.

yeah i know..

It's actually spoken-word.

Which particular word?

Antidisestablishmentarianism

Sorry, I sneezed.

^ Joke of the week.

Arsenal.

backing band on the new record is vampire weekend

Yeah, it's not a capella. I was just kidding with someone yesterday.

Can't bloody wait for this. Still kicking myself for missing the YS Manchester show not a few hundred yards from me.

Oh and for anyone who wants a mash-up of Peach Plum Pear and Someone Great by Lcd (not many of you i don't doubt) it's here:

Always have wanted a Snoop/Joanna combo "Bitchez and Balloons."

Very excited. I liked the stuff she did with the band, and thought the EP was great, so I'm hoping it's more stuff like that. I find the Van Dyke Parks arrangements on Ys the album's only weak link in a way; often quite distracting and sometimes even out of time. The EP has a much better sense of a bunch of musicians playing together in the same room.

if it's not a capella can it be instrumental pls

Always have wanted a Snoop/Joanna combo "Bitchez and Balloons."

There's a reggaeton remix of "Bridges and Balloons."

man, i really tried to watch those clips posted above and i just can't do it. made it about two minutes in for both of them. some things really are an acquired taste!

Moore Brothers are guesting on this, and I am probably the only one excited about that.

I was about to say, no one made an easy "the album is produced by the lonely island" type joke or such.

wait, is that me or you?

It ain't me!

Aaanyway. Why is that "sweet, Es(a)me!" song so gorge?
sigh :(

i liked milk eyed mender fine but ys was pretty boring imo

Well then.

Makes sense, tbh. All the new songs are long.

THREE discs you're kidding.

Why is everyone so excited about Paul Newman's wife?

Saw her play last night.

A LOT of new stuff, a few piano based numbers in the middle and <gasp> almost an outbreak of 'ROCK' was threatened until she quickly returned to the harp. Really enjoyed the long *cough* prog rock-lite *cough* arrangements and Kate Bush, I mean Joanna, sounded great.

And yes, she looked extremely teh hotness.

THREE discs you're kidding.

how were the tunes though lord byron? did you come out whistling the new ones?

'In California' (I guess it's called) is still in my head, but I'm no whistler I'm afraid...

A pretty good recording from the Sydney gig last week has gone up on D!MEAD0Z3N with around 6 new songs, band sounds great too, strings, brass, minimal drums.

Well, now we can reveal a little more about Have One on Me. For one thing, it's a triple album. You read that right: Have One on Me will take up three CDs and three LPs. Ambitious!
