Ys nice! Ys very nice!

Posted over 5 years ago
Excuse the title. This post has nothing to do with Ys, and I haven't even seen Borat. But really now, how cute am I?!Like pretty much everyone with a MOG or Last.fm account and an appreciation for awkward vocals, I've been totally obsessing over Joanna Newsom and Ys. She played a show near me recently-if an hour's distance away counts as near-and I unfortunately (read: DEVA - FUCKING - STATINGLY) missed out. A remix of Bridges and Balloons "found here":http://www.certifiedbananas.com/exclusives.html, done by Certified Bananas has hastened the healing process.When those first thumps kick in with Joanna's voice... lucid bliss.

  2. Anonymous says Please keep in mind, please: this is but one man's opinion: Her voice sounds ridiculous. Is affected a strong enough adjective? Oh, no. Not by a long shot. Gee, Joanna, do you think you could work one more quirk into your singing? No. I don't believe that's possible. You used 'em all up. You cleaned the plate. On the other hand, the incredible Steve Albini works with her, so I look forward to the day when I think back on this post and laugh my ass off at how wrong I was about her.

    blucow says theseindifferentclocks: I'm getting around to it! Even if I have to catch it in the buck fifty theater, I will be seeing Borat, and in a cinema setting. As for her sound, imagine Lisa Simpson doing a Vashti Bunyan cover/tribute album. She's got a classical sound, but with pop appeal. It's good stuff, promise. Fedge: I respect your opinion entirely. And true, she is a quirky singer, but it just comes off so genuine and uncalculated. Maybe I'm being fooled, but I don't think she's planting her squeaks and squeals. Hell, even if she is, there's something about her voice I just can't shake. JayTea: Hope you have fun at the show! By defualt you'll already have a better time than me. :[

  5. Anonymous says Please keep in mind, please: this is but one man’s opinion: Unlike Ms. Newsom, neither Ms. Simpson nor Ms. Bunyan sounds as though she's choking on a hairball. http://lisasimpson.notlong.com/ http://vashtib.notlong.com/
