she's a harp player by trade, which explains the singing out of the side of her mouth

3/8/2010 1:13:12 PM

I watched this while some friends were over the other night and was amazed at their level of disgust for a singer singing out of the side of their mouth

3/8/2010 1:15:16 PM

Didn't you make a thread about buying tickets for this?

3/8/2010 2:25:05 PM

I will admit that since someone (prob vinylbandit) made a thread about her I've become more interested and she's grown on me a bit.

3/8/2010 2:34:16 PM

Also,

3/8/2010 2:37:27 PM

she's cute, but her music to me is ~.

Don't think it would be a bad concert though. Esp. if beer/food is involved.

3/8/2010 2:39:30 PM

^OMG i have that trash can

3/8/2010 2:40:07 PM

I'll bet she makes some pretty wacky sex noises.

3/8/2010 2:41:51 PM

I'm beyond excited for this show. The new album's grown quite a bit on me, but it's still nowhere as good as Ys.

3/8/2010 2:45:42 PM

i thought i made a thread about her before but searched and couldn't find it

those jeans she's wearing are hottt

3/8/2010 7:12:50 PM

Topic: Have One On Me is way more similar to Stormcock than Ys was. Discuss.

3/8/2010 7:17:26 PM

She reminds me of Regina Spektor in a very strange way, who I liked for a while, but then soon became annoyed with.

3/8/2010 7:17:35 PM

You deserve a smack in the mouth.

3/8/2010 7:19:49 PM

she's cute but her music is fucking terrible.

3/8/2010 7:20:38 PM

her music is fucking terrible.

3/8/2010 7:22:11 PM

and I'd love for one of you johnny-come-lately motherfuckers to try and argue that fact with me

3/8/2010 7:24:55 PM

i would argue but i fully agree with you

all you haters

i'd like an explanation

i won't jump down your throats if it's valid

but "her voice sounds weird" is not valid

weird != bad

I'm not "hatin", I just cited who she reminded me of.

3/8/2010 8:29:50 PM

i have tickets (well WE have tix...eric got them)

but know what

i did something dumb but i'm blaming eric

i told him 2194720398473 times i'd buy us hockey tickets and i gave him a choice of like 4 dates and he picked the 25th

then after i purchased tells me joanna newsom is that night, too (which i did not previously know the date of)

soooooo now i don't really know what to do. i mean obvi going to joanna. i meant with the canes tix.

3/8/2010 8:32:29 PM

^ others are hatin'

you just related her to an inferior musician and songwriter

3/8/2010 8:32:54 PM

how is "her voice sounds weird" NOT a valid complaint?



how about "her vocal stylings are abrasive"

she makes noise, she doesn't sing.

her songs dont MEAN anything, and they go on forever

I'm not taking anything away from her instrumental ability, but that bitch cant fucking sing for shit, and those instrumentals cover it up.




terrible music exposed

3/8/2010 8:36:17 PM

I need to hear more of miss Joanna Newson to form an opinion.

3/8/2010 8:36:26 PM

i don't think abrasive always = bad

i like abrasive.

3/8/2010 8:42:45 PM

i support this thread

IMO Ys is one of the best albums of the last 10 years, though i can see why people wouldn't like it. it definitely took me a few listens to warm up to

but to call it terrible music is just dumb

i know right

she's a musician whose music makes my ears sad

3/8/2010 9:56:31 PM

Bob Dylan, Billy Corgan, David Byrne, Thom Yorke

"Weird voices", all

It's also worth noting that her vocal styling has become less "weird" on each album

It's also lame to show up in a thread all FUCK YOUR MUSIC

3/8/2010 9:59:44 PM

Samberg hit it.

3/8/2010 10:02:44 PM

i would also like to know what constitutes a johnny-come-lately-motherfucker

3/8/2010 10:03:35 PM

I was wondering that but didn't have the energy to ask.

I can't fault people for not digging on her voice, but I love it. Ys is still my favorite album of all time.

3/8/2010 10:29:05 PM

that's cool man, different strokes for different folks

for example, i like the Evil Dead movie series

i just know and can acknowledge that it is ass

oh really?


there's motherfuckers ITT who do it all the time



besides, I already pointed out that this hipster flavor of the month bitch is quite musically talented, but she is not vocally talented.


as a result her music is painful to listen to


meaning that is it terrible

3/8/2010 11:40:33 PM

Lykke Li is a hipster flavor of the month bitch

Joanna Newsom not so much

3/8/2010 11:48:46 PM

you're just proving my point here

How is she the flavor of the month?

(I realize I'm failing at the interwebz by engaging in this.)

3/9/2010 12:11:40 AM

yeah, you are.

3/9/2010 12:14:22 AM

meh.. song was a little boring for me

3/9/2010 12:18:55 AM

ITT, EdFurlong gives his opinion.

3/9/2010 12:21:25 AM

the timbre of her voice is odd, yes

and it's perfectly fine if you don't like it

but she doesn't miss pitch and she's not off time

so to say she can't sing is patently false

i don't know what "her songs don't mean anything" is supposed to mean

she's been relatively popular for almost six years

i'm responding to trolls but this is really just a bump
