Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (RIP blogs)

Thread worth it for "douchetruck"

credit where it's due, "douchetruck" is some old-school livejournal shit, but i'd be happy if it took off here.

On a good day, usually in late autumn, Esme can find the mystical and magical unicorn prancing carelessly among the baby birch and maple trees of the Occidental forest. Esme, along with her cousin Bess, ties ribbon bows in her hair before venturing out in California fog among the jackrabbits to seek out these fabled creatures. They tiptoe easy through the forest, soft as chalk, among the whistles of the kingfisher and go long, far into the depths of the unicorns' habitat. If the unicorns seem to be in hiding, Esme and Bess play elegant games of hide and seek, counting "81... 82... 83...", up to one hundred before chasing each other in fits of laughter. When this childish game does not suffice, the pair pick flowers to place delicately in their hair. Esme says, "you and me Bess, we're the best of friends". Grinning, Bess agrees as she admires a lovely daisy. "This would look stunning in your hair Esme, have one on me", she says, and entwines it in Esme's flowing blonde locks. But on this particular day, storm clouds gather and the smiling forest animals scatter, realizing they have no provenance on this day of all days. Esme and Bess, sensing the oncoming rain, look to pick out the quickest route home but quickly realize they will have to pick their way through the roots and brambles. Because, despite their good intentions, paving company had yet to clear a path through this portion of the forest.

I have had a collapsed lung and I enjoy the music of Joanna Newsom very much. COINCIDetc.

i have had a collapsed blog and i never want to see her horrid face ever ever again

her face is not horrid, just her voice. she's quite smashable iirc

this is not about smash, this is about broken dreams

Hey certain ILXites: I call bullshit on your meh re the Jody Rosen article. I wonder if many of you even understand what actual, well-researched journalistic prose is, or how and why that NYT piece is exemplary. Don't wanna get personal, but, Jesus, I've read some of your...well, I don't wanna get personal.

Oh yeah, this thread is about to get a whole 'nother round of interesting!

Well, then.

can you explain to me how writing can be good if it's about joanna newsom

Meanwhile, Seraphina L. at Beat Crave is celebrating Joanna Newsom's massive record sales.

seriously? do you not read a newspaper or anything?

i mean, i totally feel you - i remember when ppl at my uni were protesting the occupation of fallujah and i felt it was more important to stay on the internet and argue about how guided by voices actually were not pop, after all -

Seriously? Do you not understand the concept of interpreting rhetoric via the context in which it's used?

lol wtg you really cut down my hyperbole there

actually thomp, here's a direct, exaggeration-free statement: you and your uni protesters can fuck right off

O_o

Can we KEEP IT POSITIVE, y'all? 1998 posts in, I still think we can make this a worthwhile thread!!

*exhales luxuriously*

^ post 2000, congrats LJ

this thread has put me through the works

*lights cigarette*

sorry guyz, i don't like it when people talk to me like they're not also posting on a messageboard.

i'm cool now

I realized that the thing that bothers me the most about the stagnation on the health care bill is that it is delaying aid to sick unicorns all across the country.

burn in hell

:)

it is 2009 and nobody gives a fuck about JN

it is 2010 and HOOOOOOOOOM

it is 2010 in america and england is still living in 2009 but still unicorns are imaginary

it is 2012 and HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM also London Olympics

so anyway, I think my reaction here is best categorized as "two steps forward, two steps back" only instead of the madcap synergy exhibited between Paula Badul and MC Skat Kat that made opposites attract, I'm back exactly where I started with Joanna Newsom, scratching my head and thinking she's talented but wondering why the hell she's doing what she's doing.
