Joanna Newsom: c/d?

i actually haven't seen SNL in a while ... is that guy ... funny?

is that from http://www.babeswithdouchebags.com/ ?

oh yeah, ISB had it goin' on back in the day, in that forest hippie kinda way

they were very good looking guys, robin especially:

she looks so pretty in that pic!

something about her music doesn't draw me in. i can never put my finger on it. i guess i just get the sense that she's singing about things that i don't know about, or something. not sure -- i need to listen to more.

robin looks prettier than joanna there, haha

it's like noah lennox whould date maria carey or something.
and yes, im jealous

milk eyed mender>>>>Ys in an actually want to listen to it sense imo, but Ys is probably way "better" or more accomplished or something

also like Joanna for the fact that she's a Moore Bros. supporter -- those guys are like the 21st century Incredible String Band. So much handsomer too.

More handsome than ISB in their prime? Getouttahere!

saw her live a couple years ago on the ys tour and she is genuinely funny, even if the crowd were sucking up

so i mean dating a comedian...

andy samberg fwiw is not that funny

he's hot

cute couple!

there is film on the internet somewhere of her telling a dick joke, brought to you by some magazine that photographed her wearing couture

i find myself really hoping she has a seriously long-tailed career: the cd-rs and milk-eyed mender are fantastic finding-a-voice stuff; i've never been able to get an angle on ys because i miss the sheer enthusiasm to be writing and singing conveyed in the first album. or the joy in just doing it for it's own sake.

'colleen' (only new song since, i think?) maybe more accomplished than anything on 'ys'

'ys' quite clunky in some ways —

"and I miss your precious heart
and miss, and miss, and miss
and miss, and miss, and miss
and miss, and miss your heart
but release your precious heart
to its feast, for precious hearts"

— i mean, i know how it looks written isn't the point, but i still find that a little naif or faux-naif

i may be biased towards 'colleen' bcz the yelping makes it sound like she's finding a way to indulge the schtick
-singing of the first releases without leaving technique behind, which would be +++ good thing

also the ys street guitarist sounds a bit like he's playing on one of the acoustic tracks on rumours

i can't help but feel like it was a big fuck you when she started singing more normally to all the people who had defended how she sang on the first album as natural instead of contrived. I'll let you know when I have worked through this with my therapist.

can't help but wonder what I'm On a Boat would have been like if she's helped write the lyrics.

yeah what a pile of shit

I thought thomp was saying that's one of the reasons he preferred "Colleen" to Ys.

oop, sorry

I think the reality is that when she was first starting out, she hadn't really sung before and wasn't too great at it. Some people found it "endearing", others "contrived".

But she's obviously a perfectionist who works hard at all the things she does. I'm guessing that she's either taken some vocal lessons or just worked at it a lot since the first album. She's gotten to be quite good and will probably continue to improve.

Seeing her live on the Ys tour, the thing that amazed me the most was how good and well-controlled her voice sounded.

kinda can't believe there's much debate about the dexterity/accomplishment of her voice http://www.mediafire.com/file/15ueodzydmz/joanna-newsom-esame.mp3

oh i'm not sure the fleetwood mac thing is particularly accurate but i meant it in a positive way, yeah

i have now accidentally played the above track over the top of 'tusk', which comes closer to working than it ought, but still doesn't really work

She has a bit of a comedic turn in the video for MGMT's Kids too

That Esame song is fantastic.

ws gonna say

nice shoes? heard from a friend who plays on her upcoming album that the new one is "more down to earth" than Ys.

She finished recording her new album apparently. If "Esame" isn't in it there is no hope for this world, imo.

tylerw, what you should do is find out if there's strings in this new album. :)

Doesn't sound like strings are a big part of it -- at least compared to the last one. This one was recorded with her touring band mainly ... It's more of a "band" sound, I guess.

Also it might be a "triple album" apparently.

!

a small ensemble recording sounds great!

still one of the best shows I have ever seen

So it will be a more down-to-earth triple album?

Makes sense.

she's got it all. sass, ass, shoes, voice, harp skills, curves, legs, entire english dictionary memorised, whimsy

i mean, what

Listening to Joanna Newsom is like being attacked by smurfs. But I'd give her a classic because no one sounds like her. I can't stand her music though.

Whimsy is just the right word for the video’s star, the adored singer/songwriter and harpist Joanna Newsom. Newsom, harp in tow, performed a cover of Sandy Denny’s folksy, 1971 sea shanty “The North Star Grassman and the Ravens.” “Aesthetically, her songs are really inspiring to me—they’re really bold strokes that feel sort of theatrical and they’re interested in story,” Newsom said of Denny’s melancholy track and creative collaboration it inspired. “The fashion and design that I’m interested in also has to do with story, very strong statements that have some sort of narrative to them, that they aren’t just interested in the now.”

Not too sure how many Joanna fans will actually buy this, but nice to know it'll be out there.

Hard Skin, the most popular oi! punk band around, send a strong message to their massive fanbase of women by doing a collaboration record with a lot of very famous females who are huge fans of the band as people as well as as a band. They have redone their whole new classic album On The Balls but have let the ladies take over the main vocals! What could have turned out to be really funny is actually absolutely brilliant and another classic!

There's a sound sample on Amazon, definitely sounds like her:

I can totally hear her in all the stuff she picks:

Crossing my fingers for Gentle Giant influence on the next album. She's at her best on twistier tracks like "Have One On Me".
