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.
