I realize that art is subjective and all, but...

Green Magnesium · 07.07.2007, 01:08 PM

what the fuck is wrong with Joanna Newsom's fans? Seriously.

k-krack · 07.07.2007, 01:14 PM

Come on, I don't like her, but that's like saying "what's with Tom Waits' fans" (I love Tom Waits).
Voices are not everything, she still has beautiful music.

Green Magnesium · 07.07.2007, 01:39 PM

I enjoy Tom Waits as well.

I'm sure I would enjoy her tunes if they literally took her voice out of the music.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 07.07.2007, 02:21 PM

i feel the same way about Robert Plant, I'm sure that Led Zeppelin would have been fantastic if they just took out Robert Plant's voice.

Green Magnesium · 07.07.2007, 02:46 PM

I can actually see where you're coming from ^

HaydenAsche · 07.07.2007, 05:44 PM

Joanna Newsom is fucking fantastic. You're the void of taste.

Alex's Trip · 07.07.2007, 06:06 PM

I love her voice!

I think generic voices are worse than anything.

StevOK · 07.07.2007, 06:12 PM

Umm...people say the same thing about Kim.

Alex's Trip · 07.07.2007, 06:17 PM

Haha, it is more true of Kim that it is of Joanna Newsom.

pbradley · 07.07.2007, 06:21 PM

It isn't Newsom's voice that puts me off her music. In fact, her singing at times reminds me of Kristin Hersh (whom I am a big fan of).

Instead, I'm just not a fan of folk that has no message and no rock or blues influence. It bores me. Like something I would listen to for the sake of a girlfriend or something and tell her that I love it just so I could get some action.

Anyway, is it just me or is there some vocal pitch modification at the beginning of Sawdust & Diamonds?

HaydenAsche · 07.07.2007, 06:34 PM

The new album is so beautiful and full of heart. Sawdust and Diamonds could make you cry. I saw her live and it was one of the best shows I've seen.

terminal pharmacy · 07.07.2007, 06:47 PM

i can't hear any pitch correction on any of the album. she is a story teller lyricist like nick cave but she is more in the vain of jethro tull. she is my favourite musical artist at this point in time, i think she is brilliant.

pbradley · 07.07.2007, 06:55 PM

Now that I think about it, it isn't the music that is rubbing me the wrong way. The vocals and the harp are beautiful it's just... the lyrics. The fairy tale-esque storytelling lyrics test my patience like if it were a prog rock album. Also, there is just too much of it. Any and all chances for a beautifully epic harp solo is cut short.

gmku · 07.07.2007, 06:55 PM

Green, I'm not sure I get it. Are you criticizing her fans, or her?

Пятхъдесят Шест · 07.07.2007, 06:58 PM

I think he's going after both of them.

Which came first?
