does anyone know any women that tolerate Ms. Newsome?

my chick likes her

I will have to endure a long spiel about "the artistry" of this album before I decide not to listen to it.

don't you mean the ARRRRRRRRRRR-tistry, Ahab?

does anyone know any women that tolerate Ms. Newsome?

I hear there's one, evidently somebody who dates ilxor.com user "max"

other than that, no

i think she probably tolerates herself, she seems fairly self-confident

friend of mine met his now-wife at a joanna newsom concert. true story.

it is true that a lot of women reserve a special level of distaste for her. though maybe that's just "a lot of _people_"??

I've convinced every girlfriend I've had since her debut that she is a goddess (to the point that they become simultaneously jealous/in love themselves)

Most of the women I know like her more than I do.

"I'm leaving you."
"Why?"
"I, umm...you know what? I'm in love with that singer you love so much."
"Joanna Newsome?"
"Yeah, Joanna Newsome. I love her too much to be with you any more. You understand, right?"
"Yeah! Absolutely!"
"Cool. I sent Joanna Newsome the money I owe you, too, OK?"
"Of course!"
"You're the best. See you at the Joanna Newsome show next fall?"
"See you there!"

Yeah she seems to have a pretty big fanbase among 20-something women. Not sure where this "women hate her" thing comes from.

30-something women?

Uh-oh

Who is "joanna fucking newsom" and is there also a "joanna staying-pure-until-marriage newsom" out there?

xpost

I love how ksh consistently & mercilessly equates volume with import

He must consider Robert Pollard to be the most consistently awesome songwriter ever!

This is me saying, "wow, there are a lot of people talking about this (many of whom, of course, are just zinging)," not "this is important."

she's been singing about sex (albeit: weirdly) since her first album!

oh for sure!, but there's a cultish sect perturbed by her departing from the insular world they imagined her in. i recall reading up on her australian shows and just about getting some idea of a setlist in between fans reassuring one another that she was wearing her hair down, wasn't wearing any high-fashion clothes or hotpants, etc etc. i wrote & deleted a long post cataloguing some of these insane JN-fan insecurities awhile ago, it's kinda hard to preserve anonymity. they're particularly frenzied re: baby birch.

OMG SHE HAS HER HAIR UP

REAL ELVES DON'T PUT THEIR HAIR UP

SHE ISN'T A PIXIE, SHE IS A SELLOUT

FUCK YOU JOANNA NEWSOM, BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALBERTO V.05

We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it

this is the most gorgeous thing I've heard in a really long time

jesus. what the hell.

If I'm hyperbolic when talking about Newsom's music--and I know that, at times, I am--it's because I really appreciate what she's doing, I really like her first two records, and I'm looking forward to listening to the new one soon. She's one of my favorite artists. But I'm not claiming that she's objectively the "greatest artist" or something, and I'm not claiming that other people are incorrect in their distaste for her.

why haven't you listened to the new one yet

so, like, what's goin' on here?

*straightens collar*

ah, nothing

no anger here - just pity

yay!

ksh, I don't understand -- why did you rush out to buy the new album from one of your favorite artists this morning, but you haven't bothered to listen to it now that it's actually in your hands?

his hands aren't a cd player

not all of us can come from the future, ilxor

he loaded the CD already!

Had to tag the first and third disc myself. iTunes was able to pull in the art. Genre: harpcore
