Joanna Newsom
 

Whats the big deal about her? I dont really get it. I mean, is there something i'm missing? Its listenable, but not great.

Talented player.
Unlistenable music.
The voice! The 'widdle giwl" persona!
Kill me.
I saw her once, and by the end I was literally twitching.

ha ha.

ha ha ha.

i saw her at arthurfest-- with her harp?

i didn't know who she was. i wasn't impressed.

but for the neo-hippie crowd, she is some kind of goddess?

Music for TV ads.

i heard an mp3 by her that i liked, but then i heard her whole album and... my ears haven't really forgiven me....

i find her voice the most irritating thing in the world.

I love it. 'En Gallop', 'Peach Plum Pear' and 'Sadie' are all fantastic songs.

how do you handle that voice??? i tried and i tried to get over it. god, when i hear it i want to punch something delicate. like a baby.

I find the voice to be delicate and wonderful. It seems as if it could break at any moment. I love it.

delicate, like a baby. hence: i want to punch her in her voice box when i hear it. i like the cutesy harp playing though. maybe if she was instrumental and had a band too.

Try something like Vashti Bunyan. Her voice is less like a little girl's and she's wonderful. I still like Joanna better.

id like to hear the Vashti Bunyan/Animal Collective Ep (Hummer Project??? whats it called?) mainly cos its AC, but also because i want to hear Vashti.

Project Hummer. It's absolutely their best work. Vashti's Lookaftering is wonderful as well.

There best work, really???? I am yet to hear One Little Indian or whatever, or anything pre-Sung Tongs.

I have them all. Project Hummer is fantastic. I wish it was a full length. It's so short but it is flawless.

How many songs/how long?

Uhh. 3 songs? I don't remember how long it is. I haven't listened in ages.

ahhh.
oh, i researched. four songs and 16 minutes. thats teency.

But 16 minutes of pure bliss and beauty.

sweet. i hate ep's that leave you begging for more.
My ideal EP is GY!BE's Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada. half an hour for two tracks. that's an ep.

Haha. I love GY!BE. They rip iTunes and eMusic off bad. My friend got Lift Your Skinny Fists for less than 2 dollars LEGALLY.

wow! where? thats a sweet deal. i usually order straight from constellation. i thought you hated GY!BE. shows ya what i know.

I don't think I've ever said that. I listen to GY!BE and ASMZ quite a bit. Off of eMusic. You pay buy the songs and there are only 4 songs on the double-disc album. He pays like 40 cents a song.

oh sweet. what is emusic?

i thought you had said it in the thread about Efrim telling people in his crowd about his politics. apparently not. sorry for the mistake man. Horses in the Sky is one of the best album's i have ever heard.

Hmm. I don't remember a thread about that even. He Has Left Us Alone But Sometimes Shafts Of Light Still Grace The Corners Of Our Room is the most beautiful record GY!BE, ASMZ, etc have ever put out. It's pretty much flawless.

eMusic is like iTunes I guess. I've never used it. I buy cds and records. Fuck mp3s.

i haven't yet heard either that or Born Into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward. i need money. lots. i want to get some Fly Pan Am and Lullabye Arkestra stuff... but i have no money. have you heard the Pretty Little Lightning Paw EP? (if not, its recommended)

Nah. I've never heard it. I need money desperately. I can't buy food right now as I've spent all my money on Cat Power tickets.

ditto.

and shitty about the no food. just survive on yr love for cat power and eat that boy you like.

Haha. I'm going to Cat Power with him. I could do both at the same time!

woooo! when is it anyways?

Saturday. I'm going to one at 5 and one at 9. I'm terribly excited. I hope she plays moonshiner.

ohh fun. my weekend is going down as follows:
tomorrow
Fucking braces tightened AND haircut

saturday
i'll probably commit suicide on friday due to immense agony and hate for this haircut.

sunday
see saturday.


I bought some pants today though. maybe the new pants will keep me from doing myself in.

I get my braces off on the 12th. PWN.

I need my hair trimmed. I'm obsessive about having my hair cut perfectly at all times.

braces fucking blow. pfffff! thats because yr gay (joke. i hope you don't get offended).

i always sorta know i need a haircut cos my hair starts to look terrible, but i always hate it ten times more post-cut.

It is because I'm gay probably. Hair cuts can make or break a week really. I should get one tomorrow but then my hair might look TERRIBLE for Saturday. It's such a hard decision.

it really is. the thing that is good for me about haircuts is: my aunt is a hairdresser. so when i tell her to do something with it, she actually listens to me. i have had a few occasions wheere i got it done by someone else, and i say something like "i would like it shorter at the back and longer at the front and dont cut too much off everywhere else" and the dumb cunt just took of a good inch or so everywhere.

I usually have my friend's fiance cut mine. She's not trained but she's awesome. I've had dumb bitches dye my hair wrong before. That is the worst. Bad highlights are TERRIBLE.

i bet man. i havent had highlights since like, grade six. i used to die my hair tons. ie: black and darkdark blue.. nothing major.

I used to dye it alot in like the sixth grade but I grew older and much more concerned about fashion and started getting highlights and dying it real colours instead of trying to be punk rock or whatever I was doing with the blue and black hair before.
