'Meh' yourself Pete - go off and listen to your Tankard tapes and stop stinking up the place you philistine.

I think I submitted one but I honestly don't know, I didn't keep a copy of what I sent in.

I have Joanna covered, fret not

Joanna is not available on streaming services so I think the haters are safe enough.

Or the haters can just go out and buy it (they have it on vinyl in Tower again) to add something good to their terrible music collections.

i listened to a few of her albums on youtube a while ago

they seemed OK

 

[Lili Marlene]

I'm sure we'll think of a way of getting the music around if the problem comes up.

I don't get all the hate for JN or anyone else for that matter.
Now..if one of her lps happens to come up and I think its shite..sure,I'll not be backward in coming forward about it.
But I'll give anything a proper shot.

I, for one, want to hear and hopefully enjoy all the music I possibly can in this life.

I dare say I'd prefer her to Tankard.

 

[therealjohnny]

She's certainly a unique talent and if bizarre elfin caterwauling is your thing then, brother look no further.

AHAHAHAHAHA

Coming from someone with a CD of Japanese improv vocal fry, Joanna Newsom's baroque weirdness seems pretty tame in the big scheme of things.

Agreed. Alternative tastes are very often not that far from MOR. MOR +1 ingredient usually. JN is at very best, the tip of the iceberg for weird.

ok here goes proper listen #3. on speakers this time instead of headphones.

the queen is dead - it starts off promising enough - and then the vocals start. Trying to ignore them. Failing.

frankly mr shankly - no. just no.

i know it's over - i wish. mopey shite. musically adequate, vocally painful. had to skip through to the end of this one since it was going nowhere on its own.

never had no one ever - best so far. vocals are bearable at least.

oh, spotify crashed.

 

[pete]

cemetary gates - positively uplifting compared to everything before it. alright.

bigmouth strikes again - i could grow to like this one. maybe.

the boy with the thorn in his side - nope

vicar in a tutu - awful. just awful.

there is a light that never goes out - now this i do like, despite the vocal delivery. This is probably the album's only saving grace. It's probably the strings that raise it above the rest of the guff on this record.

Some girls are bigger than others - now, we resume your scheduled programming. BORING.

That's probably how i'd sum up the entire thing - boring. And because of that, I'm out.

How does one vote on it?

Scratch that. Found it
