New Music: Joanna Newsom – “’81″

Drag City has released “’81,” apparently the first single from Joanna Newsom’s TRIPLE DISC opus Have One On Me. (Via Gorilla Vs. Bear)

Hear what a full hour of what’s likely to be a two-and-a-half-hour collection (!!!) sounds like live in this morning’s bootleg post.

    Well, that song is just fucking awful. Or in other words, about exactly what I expected from that ridiculously overhyped elf. 2 and a half hours and 3 discs, you say? No thanks. I’d rather have have my ears removed with a cheese grater.

    Pretty song. Can’t wait to hear the entire album. J.P., how do you know what an elf soumds like?

    @Gabe:
    How do I know what an elf sounds like? Peter Jackson’s Lord Of The Rings, my friend!

    Anyhoo, she’s obviously not my cuppa and I tend find all the breathless hyperbole for her limited talents a bit much, hence my tendency to mock. However, under 2001′s Internet Directive #728, otherwise known as YMMV, you are free to subject yourself to her aural “charms” to your heart’s content :-)

    Hey, the “hype” gets to me too, and I can totally relate. The girl is pretty talented though. I’m just glad you know that elves are real.

    There’s a big difference between hype and excitement

    If this blog was at all interested in hype, I’d be giving out ratings with decimals
