Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (RIP blogs)

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

xpost

what a horribly formed "joke"

tumblrs very much in character

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

I take that back

welcome from the future, ksh CDplayerhands

he's waiting for the sun to set over the mountains of mordor iirc

Where is Sick Mouthy when we need him around to champion the virtues of traditional CD players and high-quality sound systems vs. cheap laptop speakers? Woe unto ksh... he knows not what his ears are missing.

(They are missing three-part harpmonies (i.e., harp-harmonies), apparently.)

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

THE LORD HAS HEARD MY PRAYER

I bought it, imported it, and got caught up in other things; I'm still going to listen to it today.

you hate joanna newsome, don't you

TIP: click "play" in iTunes and you can listen to it while you post!

guys

I'm gonna listen to Ys, right now

all the way through

I sent word to JN through a mutual friend that ksh had dissed her and devoted most of 2/23/10 to pointless non-HOOM activities

she cried fwiw and has renounced music

ksh is, clearly, not having one on her.

harpcore

see if the itunes defaults consistently applied such great genre tags to my mp3s i might let it do its work. but typically it's more like "indie/alternative" if i pop in john fahey or "blues" when i pop in tabu ley rochereau ... or the dreaded "world" tag.

j0hn check the merle haggard thread ok?

this is all a great shame, because I may be about to join her cohort

Amazing.

Thanks! I made up "harpcore" myself. (iTunes couldn't name two of the discs, and I think it put the other one under alternative or something.)
