Joanna Newsom. Fanbois?

[amarr1]

I just got into this album, it's really {censored}ing awesome:

 

[six acre lake]

I hate her voice and music but I would like to put my cock inside her.

I'd thoroughly enjoy this.

[Dr.Pain-MD]

That voice...

[amarr1]

Sure, it's acquired.

[airship71]

Sure, it's acquired.

 

So is AIDS.

[ClearDay]

Family friends with a cousin of hers. Evidently Joanna is the "weird one" of the family.

[jordanjordan]

I {censored}ing love ys. I haven't really bonded with the new record yet, but thats probably my fault.

[(⌐■_■)]

yes seen live a few times

 

actually amazing

 

I don't get peoples problem with the voice

but then I dig allot of old archive folk recordings and stuff

Never would have guessed.

[Instrospection]

There was a great interview with her in August's MOJO. I dig her stuff--she'd be fun to write with. She's had insomnia forever.

[Gremson]

Singer in my band really digs her. She's playing in my town this Saturday and he got tickets.

[WorkingClassDan]

New album is excellent. She had nodules removed and now sings much clearer and somewhat less idiosyncratic than before.

 

Probably my fave album to come out this year, although any year with an Arcade Fire album is gonna struggle to be topped.

She's great. People who moan about her voice are a bit like people who moan about Radiohead being 'depressing'. Musical amateurs.

Lol, nah. Radiohead are just .

[DylanWilde]

LOVE Joanna Newsom. In addition to being super foxy, she is also a stunning musician and songwriter. Like potentially genius level in terms of her song structures and lyrical imagery.

EXHIBIT A - Hotness



EXHIBIT B - Insightful, stunning musical ideas

Beautiful song with lyrics that should be considered incredible if only for the line:

There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road

[Coma Larkin]

Still dig the first album the best but yeah, she blows my socks off.

[distance21]

I love Joanna. I was in PA on tour not too long ago, and she was playing at some club in PA that same night. I missed it, and still regret it.

[EvilSoup]

That voice...

[Sad Darwin]

Quirk
________ = Fail

Substance

[HeartfeltDawn]

I hate her voice and music but I would like to put my cock inside her.

You'd pull out quickly enough once you heard her '{censored} me SAL' voice.

'Flying A Kite' it's in my worst songs ever list.

[Sad Darwin]

I hate it when musicians put on this completely artificial facade up. That isn't her singing voice, nobody can tell me that THAT was the first thing that came out of her mouth when she tried to sing. She's just trying to put up some ironic indie quirk for indie quirk's sake. It's dishonest.

 

Anyone can sing like a {censored}tard and get attention. I can make a Ralph Wiggum concept album today, but it doesn't mean its going to be relevant in 5 minutes. Joanna won't be either.

[Instrospection]

 

 

Heh, I think that quirks actually add to certain musicians' charm. The only other alternative is that everything and everyone sounds exactly like everyone else and succeeds on the typical terms.

Did Mick Jagger sing like a Brit? No. He sang like he was from the Deep South of the USA. You'd swear that was the blackest white dude ever. Was Joey Ramone from Britain? No--he was from New York, but he sang like he was British (ditto for many American singers). Johnny Cash also never shot a man in Reno. I doubt Frank Zappa ate yellow snow in which to legitimately warn people. We could go on and on.

 

If you're looking for artists and ideas that aren't invented or contrived in music to create a certain overall vibe that are totally representative of their surroundings in what music or style that they should be playing, perhaps you're hearing an alternate musical history than the rest of us.

saw her in a motorway service station a few years back just after she had played at ATP festival....she was in front of me in the breakfast canteen queue.

 

she ordered a lot of hash browns.
