hey everyone, no one cares that you find Joanna Newsom bothersome or whatever
um welcome to a joanna newsom thread on ilm, a music message board on the internet
hence me making a pointless comment

Breaking news: people who didn't like Joanna Newsom before still don't like Joanna Newsom. Please keep us updated on all the developments in this story. Please.

i liked the last album a lot, found it amazing really, so i am looking forward to hearing this
― j., Monday, 10 August 2015 19:43 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, it was probably the best album that came out that year. But she used to sing in a peculiar voice so it's probably also garbage.

Hello, my name is Johnny Fever. I'm typically easy going and open to loving many types of music. I do make sure, though, to carve time out of my busy schedule to endlessly slam Joanna Newsom and, if necessary, people who won't shut up about her. BECAUSE SHE IS TERRIBLE!

JF, I would like to explain objective facts to you, basically they are things like 'Joanna Newsom is great' that can't be argued with because science.

'carve' has double meaning here because Fever is a professional pumpkin carver. 'busy' is likely sarcastic because halloween is more than 2 months away.

I think it's fair for JN fans to ask, isn't there a place around here where I can go to get pumped about a new JN album without people just treating it like a pile-on jokefest that never ends? However there is also an answer to that ask, it just arrived via Unicorngram, and it's "no"

look there are two kinds of music fans: those that enjoy some good 'gism and those that don't. Joanna's songs load me up with that good 'gism is the thing.
― oh, i am a lonlely poster. i live in a box of posts. (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 10 August 2015 21:27 (eight years ago) link
'gism is of course short for syllogism
Majority of the posts actually positive so far?
All those clips except "81" are songs from her first album, right? The woman that does "81" sounds good to me. I don't know, I especially enjoy listening to her songs with a lyric sheet. New song is beautiful.

the multi-tracked vibrato minute of this is so rad & promising

that song is intersting, i could get into this. i've sort of avoided her because she's california royalty, which i know is like my own hang-up. well i guess i don't have to buy anything.

the lyrics to the new song are also great but imo she's a great lyricist and only gets better with each record

so the arrangements could be roughly identical to hoomicorn and there'd still probably be a lot there for me in terms of progression

In many cases, people justifiably get shit for spraying troll piss all over a thread whose subject they don't care for. I don't know why there are exceptions.
'Spraying Troll Piss' is a song on the new album, btw, iirc.
