Is Joanna Newsom a genius?
>>47601825Yes. /thread
Sure, if you think Andy Samberg is comedy genious.
>>47601825How many flicks has she starred in? ;3
Joanna Newsom tries too hard.
have one on me album of the decade
>>47601888yeah, on andy samberg's hard
Ysha get it?
>>47601914hard what? THE TENSION IS KILLING ME
>>47602009hard to tell
>>47602041
>>47601825Scaruffi thinks so.
bump
she's more deserving of the title than any other folk musician I could name
requesting a pic of joanna newsom's ass
yes-5no-2
yeah
Yes. Sidebar: Have One on Me is the album of the decade.
>>47603997and Ys is album of the decade 2000s.
>>47604539Disputable, but it's definitely in the top 10
>>47602232phil elverum
is she ever gonna release another album
>>47604602There was 4 years between Ys and Have One On Me too. Be patient, I'm sure it's imminent.
>>47604599not a folk musician and realistically not a genius though I enjoy both artists immensely
>>47601825I don't think so.
>>47604617yeah, but have one on me is a two hour triple album. it's been 4 years.
>>47604635Who's to say this won't be a three hour quadruple-album?
>>47604602>>47604617vdp twitter seemed to suggest it would be out soon, that was a couple months ago. the way album releases generally work I would guess we'll get either a single or some info by the end of june and then expect the record some time in augustbe patient, it is coming
>>47602232Bob Dylan
>>47604647I think that joanna newsom is more talented than bob dylan.
>>47604645>vdp twitterlink?
>>47604670https://twitter.com/thevandykeparks/status/445225880239874048
>>47604667you're getting to get shit on, but I 100% agree
I feel like Ys is too good for me. There are details I'm not smart enough to appreciate.
>>47604679yassssssssssssss
>>47604667How can you possibly quantify that?
>>47604691I felt like that but actually the way it's worked out is just that every listen I pick up on a new thing or appreciate something I'd previously overlooked. its not really something you have to analyse, just explore. its a very dense album musically lyrically and texturally
>>47604700"I think"
>>47604679damn I'd kill for another collab but hoom's arrangements were pretty damn outstanding in themselves so I guess its whatever
Without a doubt one of the best female musicians of the past decade.
>>47604706Even hearing every detail would just be the surface. I'm not very familiar with harp playing so I can't realize how much skill she's using. I don't understand polyrhythms. There are things I would be required to educate myself about before genuinely appreciating.
>>47604778one of the best musicians in general, I would say
>>47604679Holy fuck YES!! The most excited I've been for an album all year. AOTY incoming
>>47604786iunno looking at it that way doesnt really make sense to me, that seems like technical (not artistic) achievement, which I guess is admirable in itself but its not really why i come to joanna newsom
>>47604788Yeah, probably. I really hope she can keep it up on her next record.
>>47604602https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBfh0v1KH2Y
What could we expect from her new LP. All three previous has covered a lot of ground. Will she focus more on ambition or accessibility?>mfw 18 song tracklist, each 10+ minutes
>>47601825I believe she is.
>>47602003huehuehuehuehueheuheuheu
no
>One day, Joanna Newsom's music will be 200 years old
>>47604853I don't think ambition and accessibility should be seen as oppositionalI think she will dial it back a bit lengthwise but that doesnt necessarily mean pop tracks. being that she's with andy now and based on the van dyke parks tweet I'm guessing it'll be quite summery and good natured and gracious, nice progression from hoom's heartbreak
her's and panda bear's albums are gonna save 2014, mark my words
>>47604786i'm not familiar with much of that either. i just enjoy the emotion and poetry and beauty of the music. why try and analyze it?
>>47604896>feel-good joanna newsom
>>47604918completely forgot about that! that keen for the rest of this year
there are not enough ass pics in this thread
>>47604834being that the subject of this song here is how the knowledge of death coming for us affects how we live our lives, im not too sure about the idea of the next album being happier
>>47604945it's gonna be so good manhttp://youtu.be/nqDw_HONA-AI think he's been listening to jai paul
>>47604922Why be content with ignorance? Yes, I do find it moving but I can't see the depth of just how much creativity I'm hearing. Especially since there aren't other artists who sound very similar to her, she has some signatures in her songwriting and it's like I can't consciously notice them.
>>47604679Woo!! :D
>>47605064but you have noticed them just not on a theoretical level. I dont know shit about composition on an academic level but I can recognize how incredible brian wilson's are on smile and pet sounds
>>47604956
>>47605090Well the difference between sound and music is the human intent so when you're able to get some insight into why the songwriter might have made certain decisions within their songs, what their preferences are and that sort of thing, it makes you feel closer to the music. It becomes more personal.
>>47605217It's not only the booty but the way she moves it. I imagine her riding cowgirl on top of me.
>>47605218most songwriters feel the same though, they would rather the music speak for itself
>>47605241you sound like a creepy faggot
>>47604679oh fuck does this mean its going to coated in strings like ys?
>>47605260>creepyOk, sure.>faggotDid you read the comment?
>>47605276Did you read the tweet? There was a scheduling conflict.
>>47605276>Timing conflict nixed my decorating her bright new work.Drats!no
>>47605260
>>47605301>>47605277oh. but good riddance!
Yes.Case in point: You and Me, Bess
>>47605301>>47605293there could still easily be string arrangements, there were on hoom, they just won't have that quasi-psychedelic old america van dyke parks slant
>>47605217
>>47605359man, this sketch was not funny at allis portlandia always this bad
>>47605359
>>47605399It's probably the patchiest good show on TV. But it has heights that make it worth sitting through the crap.
>>47601825not really. in comparison to stuff from jazz people that we consider at genius level, her compositions really aren't all that impressive. Not trying to bag on her, but music theorywise she's hardly even on bad mother fucker status. this is genius:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKd_f2QBpvQor this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBOk_s41uicor this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1FJLdda6eIcan anything she's done compare to these things?
>>47605407oh, my~
>>47605485>music theorywise>posts fela kutiyou don't know what you're talking about
>>47605485See >>47605346
>>47605407that's a big harp
>>47605485Yeah, let's not compare her to MO and Mingus, they're definitely in a whole 'nother league. But honestly, Fela Kuti is nothing special. His music is fun, I guess.
>>47605543hey fela kuti is very special just not for the same reasons as charles mingus and definitely not for the same reasons as joanna newsom
>>47605407
>>47605514fela kuti does a good job of layering different rhythmic components. you assume all theory is based on key changes and odd chord structures / modes which is kinda missing half of what theory is all about. but i can respect someone not seeing that as brilliant. or at least not as brilliant as the others listed.
>>47605461
dem heels>>47605590Wow I never noticed the harp in the background before
>>47605600The genius thing about Fela Kuti is mostly how he also makes 13 minute songs like Joanna except it requires no patience to listen to the whole thing. I just finished listening to it and it feels like I only clicked play a minute ago.
>>47605896I have the reverse experience. I find the repetition in Fela's music numbing. Whereas the detail and dynamism in Joanna's music keeps me engaged.
>>47605896this is such a shit post, that says nothing about joanna apart from you're not patient enough for her
>>47605929I can see where you're coming from. To me I just space out while the music plays and lose track of time as a result. For Joanna I'm following lyrics and it makes the time easy to recall.
>>47601825she can play the harp and has a degree in lyrical drama.she's good but not unbelievable. i wouldn't say she's a "genius" or a "prodigy" because she studied pretty hard to get to where she is.
she's this generation's best lyricist and an excellent composer/arrangeri don't find her that attractive tho so i don't listen to her much
>>47606841That's stupid. How is she unattractive?
>>47606921She has moles and a slut mouth
>>47605590ungh
>>47606793I feel like you haven't listened to milk eyed mender
>>47605339>Being this french
am i gay
>>47605217I'd love to be pic related reverse cowgirl by her
