joanna newsom

...is the hottest girl ever. her music is fucking beautiful. check the video

she gave me my tamborine.

she plays keyboards in my friends band The Pleased. you should check them out, too, theyre not too shabby.

yeah, i have. whaqt i've heard from the pleased is great, but i'm having trouble trackinbg down an album. i'd love to fet an lp, but they're alays sold out when i go to amoeba

LP as in vinyl? i thiiiink they only pressed cd's im not too sure.

i'd order it right from The Pleased website.

I do love her music, I'm just having trouble getting used to her voice.

Joanna Newsom is dreamy...

I wanted to like it but her voice...

her music is so so, but she's cute.

the music is pretty cool, the voice you just get used to, she sounds a lot like bjork...I reqd an article about her recently somewhere she's dating a guy in a pretty cool band if I'm not mistaken...pretty vague yeah

she's gorgeous, no doubt, and after reading a piece by kalefa sanneh claiming that she was the musical second coming, i checked her out, but just couldn't get into the vocal style at all. i guess i could try again.

extreeeemely hawt
but the girl sounds like she's deaf.

She's AMAZING. I'm going to see her in LA at the end of this month -- I can't fucking wait!

When I first listened to her album, my initial thought was, "well, this is different." Her singing is rather child-like and it makes her songs unique. Maybe it's not for everyone but after playing it a couple more times I literally couldn't stop. Joanna Newsom is absolutely wonderful.

That is the perfect way to describe it.... I do enjoy the music... but like a lot of people I'm not sure about the voice, I'm sure it'll grow on me soon

she's great. i like her a lot.

what no pictures?... all I've heard is how hot this girl is and no one posted a picture

whoa... other people like joanna newsom too? that's amazing!

Heh. We just watched the video and Idjiit asked, "Ehhh, is that Carol Channing?"

good stuff, her voice reminds me of bjork, very child-like

brilliant.

Are you saying that Kestrel sounds like Joanna Newsom? Oh, the thought makes me giggle.

While normally Pitchfork reviews make me want to throw things at my computer, I have to admit that I couldn't put it any better than this:

Joanna Newsom possesses one of the shrillest, most keening voices you may ever hear, a sort of cawing, screeching, open-mawed banshee affectation that can be oddly endearing, but usually just makes people wish they were deaf. At first.

So true. Initial scepticism gives way to love, only love. She's also a lot more witty and biting lyrically than her cuteness might lead you to expect...my eyes went wide the first time I actually *heard* the following lines from "The Book of Right-On":

Do you want to run with my pack?
Do you want to ride on my back?
Pray that what you lack does not distract.

Ouch!

the harp is a nice change.

the pleased is excellent. saw 'em with the psych. furs and the alarm. the pleased was significantly better than the alarm.

I killed my dinner with karate -
kick' em in the face, taste the body.
shallow work is the work that I do.

hehe
