Alec Niedenthal—
I’m not sure how to say this, but the new Joanna Newsom album is going to be three CDs/LPs. You can find the first single on the Drag City homepage. It is, um, gorgeous. I feel like most people here probably hate Joanna Newsom. What do you think of Joanna Newsom?
they’re just trying to look cool
what’s wrong with Joanna Newsom
she’s nice

I like Newsome. I’m actually impressed that she could make me not only tolerate, but enjoy, her voice.

It was like grapefruit, for me.
Or coffee (although it’s now very difficult to imagine a time when I disliked the flavor of coffee).

Alec, did you like Y’s? I thought it was a masterwork, but I know a lot of people thought Van Dyke Parks’ production overwhelmed shit.

“the sight of bridges and balloons
makes calm canaries irritable
and they caw and claw all afternoon
catenaries and dirigibles
brace and buoy the livingroom
a loom of metal, warp – woof – wimble
and a thimble’s worth of milky moon”
who wouldn’t love something so beautiful.

agreed. her lyrics are pretty songs just reading them, let alone with her melodies and harp.

“I like noise. I like big-ass vicious noise that makes my head spin. I wanna feel it whipping through me like a fucking jolt. We’re so dilapidated and crushed by our pathetic existence we need it like a fix.” – albini
agreed agreed–plucky harps don’t do that for me

Please. You’re a Coldplay fan. Gives us the good shit, man. The stuff that makes thee fine hairs on the back of your danglers get all staticky and gets you into one of your long-take reveries, a lateral tracking shot through the basement of a house that is still filled with water from the Great Flood of 1932. Blake! You used to rule the world! Now revolutionaries wait! Play it loud and proud, brother. And Steve Albini, by the way, likes to go poop in the mouth, which is fine, I guess, except when he forgets to take his anti-diarrheal medication.

The world is dying
So let it die
Mourn for the trees
And grieve for the bees
Please don’t kill that spider
Raised near a pond
My friends are all gone
If it sounds like I’m blue
It’s because I’m stuck here with you
As we enter the age of isolation.
Jan-Nathan Cadbury, 1971

i like joanna newsom. ‘stardust and diamonds’ is a great song. her voice sounds stronger. or maybe she’s just yelping less. i’m excited for three discs worth of new stuff.
