I am disturbed by how suddenly Newsom photography has gone from "you have elf ears" to "please turn around and bend slightly forward."
she's following the established career path

just sayin... he who is not into books about spacemen should throw the first stone at the musician writing songs about bears and monkeys

hoy hoy I am referring less to "attractive pictures" and more about some point where people started fixating heavily on her having a shapely ass

Dat ass indeed

So basically you don't know what you are talking about it. Got it.

Thankfully you've already heard Ys so I won't have to play it while I'm doing this.
everyone just take it Ysy

Ys is probably one of the few records in my collection I'll be still listening to as a Senior Citizen. Only Skin is probably the best song of the last 50 000 years.

:-x.
I will try to take the bullets for all y'all by confessing that seeing Ys done live w/ orchestra made me quite literally feel like I was going to die, a lovely death of, u no, sublimity or some shit, something that's a few notches above any other, uh, 'experience of art' I've had. Most esp. the swelling strings in 'Emily'.
Also, I am 100% certain that this upcoming album is going to make the entire renaissance look like 1 big pile o shit.

So much that you feel the need to spend the entire day in this thread adding nothing but snark. It really is love.
― Salvador Dali Parton (Turangalila), Thursday, 28 January 2010 01:32 (fourteen years ago) link
My snarky comments on this thread are the greatest wisecracks anyone has ever made on anything since the dawn o' time.

^100% not exaggerating at all.

Have you heard Ys, Brad? Cuz I have to play it for you, before I smother you with a pillow otherwise.

I didn't know what emotion was until I read some of Alex's Newsom zings, they were like learning to experience dawn for the first time
― Lee Dorrian Gray (J0hn D.), Thursday, 28 January 2010 03:26 (fourteen years ago) link
I still don't believe her voice, it all seems like an act. Will say as lame as the elfin persona was , can't say I love the new sexxxy--starring in MGMT and playing fashion parties one much more, although it's much more believable and "authentic"
Either way, still think she's putting on a voice
― Emily's Cheese, Thursday, 28 January 2010 11:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Seeing Ys live made me bored.
― Sam Weller, Thursday, 28 January 2010 14:59 (fourteen years ago) link
xpost: doesn't Neil Young put on a voice, too? (not harshing on you personally, Emily's Cheese, just generally venting)
― pobrecito (outdoor_miner), Thursday, 28 January 2010 16:51 (fourteen years ago) link
Virtually every singer is "putting on a voice".
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Thursday, 28 January 2010 18:55 (fourteen years ago) link
There's some interview where Joanna said something like: "The institution of singing is inherently an affectation."
― kshighway (ksh), Thursday, 28 January 2010 18:58 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, Google tells me that's from Davis's Arthur Profile, which I've read too many times.
― kshighway (ksh), Thursday, 28 January 2010 18:59 (fourteen years ago) link
“When I listen back to those first EPs, I’m like, well, that voice does sound fucking crazy. There is no way around it. But I know exactly what space I was in. I was so sure that I didn’t know how to sing that I was just going balls out. I was like: I’m going to sing my heart out, as crazy as it sounds, and I’m not going to care because there’s no hope of sounding anything like what people consider beautiful. I sure as hell wasn’t affecting anything. I mean, the institution of singing is inherently an affectation!”
