Joanna Newsom Tells Paper A Penis Joke, Wears Pretty Clothes

thumbnail icon: Joanna Newsom Tells Paper A Penis Joke, Wears Pretty Clothes

Longtime New York magazine Paper is launching its annual "Beautiful People" issue, with Joanna Newsom on the cover. Over at the site, they have some video of Newsom during her photo shoot, where she takes a moment to tell a joke that involves midgets and other small things.


(Via BV)

Pierce Jackson doesn't even flinch! You can read the more in-depth Newsom feature, and look at fashion pics like the one below, over here. We're not quite sure who most of the other "Beautiful People" are.

Bill Callahan (Smog) is who she dates and she is anything but mediocre.

Her apologetic look at the cameraman after her joke is heart-melting.

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

Damien Jurado - "Murderer" (Low Cover)

After hearing "Gillian Was A Horse" from Damien Jurado's forthcoming Caught In The Trees, we contacted the Seattle singer-songwriter and asked if he'd want to premiere a track at Stereogum. Lucky for us (and you), it turned out he had...
