i sometimes go to 'cannabis dispensaries' in oakland. Traditionally these dispensaries are either ran by rich yuppies, thuggy gangster types or blatant hippies. This time i visited one of the 'thuggy' dispensaries. A very round and large imposing white man who was wearing a backwards hat and with a giant beard (who resembled Sage francis) was sitting at the front desk BLASTING joanna newsom., literally. I don't think ive ever heard someone play Joanna newsom that loud before, like someone would do blasting rap out of a moving car. I was so taken aback by the experience I had to ask him what it was (even though i immediately recognized the music). He looked up slowly and angrily from his computer and almost what started as a mumble belted out with a loud tough grunt - "JOANA NEWSOM!". The tone in his voice as he *yelled* her name to me was like a mixture of an ultra tough guy caught in a vulnerable moment mixed with deep rage and a touch of pure joy. I'll never forget it

haha what a story

i think i'm the only person here who doesn't really care for her voice or music. i feel like I should, I normally dig unique female vocalists, but she just doesn't do it for me

 

Nah it's not just you, I fucking hate it with a passion . She's good looking though, and I'm sure she's a lovely person. But fuck listening to this. Just to reiterate, I hate it.

It's pointless gash, this has been painstakingly established already in the other thread by watmm's most esteemed member.

this is why i come to this board :)

also, im glad this one seems like it's going to be songs. i like her weird pop way more than the 23 minute music school stuff. not that music school isn't awesome. just not for me.

Really digging the new track. Always got quite a Kate Bush vibe off JN, which is very much a good thing.

not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but i think it deserves some listens

Awesome track.
