Milk-Eyed Mender was one of my favorite albums of ’04. Even Modest Mice talked it up in Filter.
ISAAC BROCK: That Joanna Newsom album is amazing. There’s something about [her] music — it’s honest without trying to be folk, but it is. And somehow it’s more contemporary because it’s not trying to be modern. I don’t know if heartstrings are real, but if they are, they’re damn good at jerking on them.
ERIC JUDY: I like the Joanna Newsom album so much it feels like it should be the only one I talk about. I just got it a week ago and I listen to it all the time. Her voice is definitely out there — I think a lot of people might find it kinda harsh or not like it, but I do. It’s just really, really pretty.
Go here to download Some New Newsom, including two Hendrix covers. Don’t worry, you have her OK…
FREE WILLIAMSBURG: Do you download music a lot?
JOANNA: I would if I knew how. At this point, I don’t mind if people download my music because that means that there’s a person who wants to listen. I give away CDs at shows if someone wants a CD but doesn’t have any money. I wouldn’t want to do that forever. I would happy for someone to download my music.
I predicted celtic harp would take off in a big way this year. Guess I was wrong there. I was also wrong about Bloomberg buying us Segways during this week’s transit strike.

……..somebody end joanna newsome……….
Awww, this has just made my day.
“I give away CDs at shows if someone wants a CD but doesn’t have any money”
Awwww…. how freak-folk hippie of her!!
If we go to her show and hand her the “Milk-Eyed Mender” back, will she RETURN my money?
Hey Joanna, stick with the harp if you like, but use less Thesaurus on the new album, ok?
thanks, I love her music
you know that collective groan you hear when everyone realizes this is going to be an all-Lisa episode?
dear lord, that was painful.
{cat runs away}
I declare patting yourself on the back for disliking Joanna Newsom officially not even remotely cool anymore.
SAAAADDDIIIIEEEE
I still love her, though.
newsom is a poet and she knows it.
i hope she dont blow it!!!!!
there’s nothing worse in this world than people w/ bad taste.
heyy I don’t know who you were meaning for this, but the singer you listed for Fall Out Boy is wrong. Brendon Urie is the singer for PANIC! at the disco, while Patrick Stump[h] is the singer for Fall Out Boy. Just thought I’d let you know =]
I love The Milk-Eyed Mender. I’m not really sure what it is about it, but its brilliant, clever, cute, scary and fun-loving all at the same time.
have any of ya’ll heard this? i for one love joanna newsome to death. milk eyed mender is incredible, and joanna was right on the spot at bonnaroo (despite a lousy speaker set-up). but check out this tune. its a mashup of one of her songs. whackky.
