i don't want no goddamn racist ass floor

taylor swift can't sing

joanna newsom sings weird

3/10/2010 2:07:36 AM

^^^you just keep acting like weird=bad.

statistically speaking, weird is bad


don't blame me


blame millions of years of survival instinct

i can't help but wonder what she sounds like when she's not TRYING to sound so fucking weird.


i bet she's got a beautiful voice.



the facial expressions freak me out


and she reminds me of that one girl we all knew growing up that was kind of cute but batshit crazy to where if you told her NOT to play a song, she'd start sobbing uncontrollably and talk about cutting herself.

^^ i think that's just what she sounds like when she's blasting

because it happens at the end of this joke, too:

i would think even people that think her voice is "terrible and weird" might change their minds after watching that performance

3/11/2010 1:03:39 PM

i've got an extra ticket for this shiz if anyone's interested

3/24/2010 12:43:30 AM

terrible music ITT

3/24/2010 12:45:29 AM

i'll be at the concert with my girlfriend. it was her birthday present.

and everyone knows im a big fan of kiljadn, but i have to disagree with him ITT.

especially with his critique about the lyrics. see "emily" or "only skin" for a counterpoint.

3/24/2010 12:50:44 AM

just found out that the opener tonight is fred armisen

chances are he'll be doing jens hahnemann

but perhaps fericito

3/25/2010 2:08:35 PM

Is Sledge showing up?

3/25/2010 2:14:16 PM

you don't need no goddamn fuzz bass at a harp show

3/25/2010 2:15:44 PM

the way she sings and the music she plays reminds me of traditional japanese music from the edo period.

I meant is he picking you up, or are you just going to meet out front?

3/25/2010 2:40:15 PM

i'm going with andie macdowell

3/25/2010 2:42:13 PM

her songs are long but the ones I like I don't want to end

3/25/2010 2:43:35 PM

so i listened to motel motel ( i think thats what my roommate said was on) and it sounded like a shitty male version of joanna newsom

3/25/2010 2:44:13 PM

what's Fred Armisen's solo sound like?



andie macdowell?

3/25/2010 2:44:45 PM

depends on what he's doing...it's all music-based comedy, though

3/25/2010 2:47:19 PM

I do think the weirdness of her voice at times keeps your ordinary bystander from hearing her tremendous talent. How she carries a tune and stays on pitch and the variation in her singing voice is masterful. Full range just rocks my face off every time.

I like weird and my only negative is her facial movements are a bit distracting. What I learned as I have taken singing lessons in the past is you need to try to show emotion in your face but try to train yourself to be fluid in the way your face moves as you sing. She is a bit odd in that regard.

this is about as close as she gets to a straight-up pop song if you're into the whole brevity thing

3/25/2010 3:00:00 PM

khcadwal and i will be there

3/25/2010 3:00:47 PM

YAYYYYYYYYYYY

3/25/2010 3:21:32 PM

ttt

3/25/2010 11:50:57 PM

in the past few years, i have seen many cute women on stage

jenny lewis and zooey deschanel are at the top of the list

but tonight, ladies and gentlemen

joanna newsom destroyed them both

not just with her vocal talent, songwriting prowess, or harp skills

but in her general being

she stuck her tongue out when she tuned her harp

how fucking cute is that

jesus

3/26/2010 3:17:56 AM

shit ruled

3/26/2010 3:18:50 AM

lol

sad I missed

3/26/2010 3:31:38 AM

also, fred armisen is a nice dude

3/26/2010 3:34:37 AM

i think the setlist was (not in perfect order)

On a Good Day
Easy
Have One On Me
Go Long
Autumn
Book of Right On
Soft as Chalk
Inflammatory Writ
Good Intentions Paving Company
Kingfisher
Monkey & Bear

Baby Birch

probably could have done without Autumn (maybe the most forgettable song on the new album) but that is just nitpicking.

3/26/2010 3:37:32 AM

also, sort of weird/cool "what is celebrity, anyway?" moment

when fred armisen briefly geeked out about bowerbirds

3/26/2010 4:06:38 AM

totally rad harp playing itt

5/5/2010 3:55:59 PM

I watched that earlier and laughed at the "side boob" comment in the comments section

5/5/2010 3:57:27 PM

5/5/2010 3:58:21 PM

5/10/2010 8:10:43 PM

chuleta says no one is going to play joanna fucking newsom on her turntable and she will cancel the goddamn book club meeting if she has to

7/14/2010 4:16:11 PM
