Literally who?

>>19468143
Aþot

>>19468125
Who is this and does she have nice feet

Seconding, going to have to see the feet before I read anything by or about her.

>>19468125
That's a man

That's joanna Newsom you plebs

>>19468125
Her lyrics are insanely cryptic. Almost like a schizo poem. Would like to listen to them a bit more as she's an interesting lyricist.

>>19468341
I fell, I tried to do well but I won't be
Will you tell the one that I love to remember and hold me
I call and call for the doctor
But the snow swallows me whole with ol' Florry Walker
And the event lives only in print
He said:
"It's alright"
And "It's all over now"
And boarded the plane
His belt unfastened
The boy was known to show unusual daring
And, called a "boy"
This alderman, confounding Tammany Hall
In whose employ King Tamanend himself preceeded John's fall
So we all raise a standard
To which the wise and honest soul may repair
To which a hunter
A hundred years from now, may look and despair
And see with wonder
The tributes we have left to rust in the parks
Swearing that our hair stood on end
To see John Purroy Mitchel depart
For the Western front where our work might count
O mercy! O God!
Go out, await the hunter to decipher the stone
And what lies under the city is gone
Look and despair
Look and despair

>>19468125
Silence, female!

Bitch doesn't seem to Spotify? Too hip to make it easy to listen to her?

>>19468882
Here ya go buns
https://youtube.com/watch?v=cJ1yFhjRnNc

A self-admitted Nabokov fan who also enjoys Faulkner? Sounds based to me
also no good feet pics exist, this is the best one I could find

>>19468900

Ya I already found that. Luckily I'm not a retard and can play it in the background on my phone using NewPipe. But why make it harder than it has to be? I guess she doesn't want normies to listen to her music.

>>19468908

That's pretty good though

>>19468169
>>19468209

>>19468143
Joanna Newsom

>>19468908
>pretentious singer songwriter marries "Jizz in my pants" guy
There is some psychological logic behind this. I'm sure the guy is likable and funny and all but there has to be a reason this happened

>>19468125
I tell people i only read scifi when the start naming favourite authors.

IM GOING TO SAY IT: If there ever was a contemporary songwriter that should have won the Nobel for literature (if anyone should at all) it should have been Joanna instead of Dylan.

>>19468976

Sexism baka

>>19468959
She married rich. Now she can continue to make uncompromising music until the day she dies!

>>19468999
Yeah but it's not any rich guy, it's the Jizz in my pants guy

>>19468326
>Joanna Newsom
So she's just basically Fionna Apple mixed with a dash of Bjork. Got it. Meh.

>>19469027
He has a giant cock
Imagine the squeaks Joanna makes as she cums around his hot rod

Who? Nvm I don't care.
Find someone hotter next time please.

>>19469071
You're still not getting it. There are many people she could have married, giant cocks and all, she chose someone whose music is like the Platonic antithesis of her own, I cant believe it is just a coincidence

>>19469086
Why not? Even stranger coincidences have really happened

>>19469144
That is true, I have no rebuttal

>>19469067
jesus christ what the fuck

>>19468944
Fuk

>>19468976
Agree.

>>19468976
>oh my god did she just deference highschool English class tier literature in her music???? thats so fucking deep, someone get her a nobel prize!!!!

>>19468944

>>19468944
Fuckkk i thought i wanted to reincarnate as a girl's bicycle seat but im changing my answer to piano bench

>>19468918
her label was stingy with getting onto streaming services (but pretty much all their stuff except newsom is up now), plus she shat on spotify when it was rolled out in the U.S. and unlike similar artists (radiohead) she's too proud to take the L and just get her music on there. she's everywhere else (apple, tidal, etc)

>>19469067
she's streets ahead of both those two

>>19469163
Truth hurts.
>>19469536
Why, because she can play the harp? At least Bjork was in a Lars von Trier movie.

>when’s the next album joanna, it’s been six years...

>>19468959
his real life self probably doesn’t have much to do with the persona and makes you wonder what does it take to think of such a persona

>>19469067
oh god what a horrid voice
JESUS CHRIST MY EARS....AAAAAAAAAA

who the fuck encourages idiots like these? you can sing babe go on...

FUCK OFF

>>19468976
KEK good one
i raffed

if you haven't listened to Ys it is not too late

>>19468125
We need to make a pop music general in order to keep this trash out of other threads.

>>19469067
Basically lol. The production on some of her music is good though.

>>19469386
you haven't listened to a single one of her songs

>>19470053
my response was to the music
>>19472745
there's literally songs posted in this thread retard

>>19472780
then listen to them retard

>>19469067
I'm not gonna lie I respect Joanna (listened to Ys before) but if this was my introduction to her I'd probably think it was some fucking Yoko Ono shit

Ahahaha I don't know who this woman is and I don't read a single post in this thread but I masturbate to her twice now haha

>>19468125
Are those bumps on her face herpes?

>>19473129
Moles.

>>19473168
Hi Butters, how have you been? Haven't seen you for a while.

>>19469455

Sorry but Dylan is a god compared to Joanna. She’s good but cryptic shit no one understands and extremely obscure esoteric references aren’t going to put her on Dylan’s level

should I read another few chapters of seven pillars or listen to Ys?

>>19468976
No that would be David Tibet

>>19472780
Sorry, I thought my comment would only attract derision from retards simping for her.
>>19472877
He did. They suck. (inb4 "then what do you listen to so I say it's shit too!"...I didn't make a simp thread because a celebrity's PR sensibilities told her to name drop literary figures retard).

>>19468125
She’s a charlatan who is valued by pseudo-intellectual retarded women

>>19468944
I am now interested in your thread

>>19468125
>listens to sapokanikan
i move to make Joanna the new /lit/ waifu. that was a delight.

>>19468959
I’ve heard that Andy Samberg is a very serious, no-nonsense kinda guy. Comedian is the profession, not the man

>>19474610
Listen to (or read) Divers. She is vastly more erudite than you.

>>19468125
ITT: Simps and a (((sensitive))) girl who isn't pretty enough to listen to Lana Delray

>>19474873
Cope, simp. She’s read 20 books in her life. I’m autistic and have read 1400 and own over 1800 books. Go cry on /mu/ about your charlatan waifu, you fucking loser. I’m not going to listen to that trash.

>>19469067
>those comments
god I hate normies

>>19476181
I love how easily impressed dimwits are at some pseud namedropping in a song

everyone ITT who says Joanna isn't good must list their top 5 singer-songwriters

>>19476673
Have never listened to her (which is odd because I once dated a girl who loved her music and saw her 3x) but will oblige anyway--: Townes VanZandt, Hank Williams, Chris Isaac, Elvis Costello, David Berman
If a woman is required then Carol King

>>19477246
berman is one of your favorite SONGwriters? i mean the dude had a way with words no doubt but his actual music and singing voice is just a coma-inducing combo

If not Joanna, who’s the best modern lyricist?

>>19468125
Overvalued as a lyricist, undervalued as a composer. Have One On Me is the greatest recording of the 21st century and it isn't close.

If I want incessant emotive hype I'll tune in to the Jesus network, m8.

>>19477366
Shit taste. It wasn't just his lyrics on a poetic level, he had a real nack for songwriting. I like his voice too, it's not conventionally 'good' but it's expressive and matches the lyrics

>>19477801
Not ranking these but I'd say Bill Callahan, Mark Linkous, Jason Molina and David Berman are up there. Such a shame 3 of them an hero'd

If Kate Bush sang in this gay voice you would like it.

Do you know what this is son?
This is the panopticon
And all around us blink the brash
And shifty eyes of common cash

So do we die or do we travel?
Down the path by which one dabbles
In the arts of antediluvian crafts
With yarn and glue

So gather twilight to your breast
And couch the rabble-rouser's nest
And we will take a day of rest
And we will all be heaven-blessed

And we will gather 'round to dine
And pass the time with wicked rhymes
And toast in dandelion wines
To hear their mellifluous chimes

We toast the fallow furrows that we sow
We toast the monies that we owe, oh, oh
And we toast the creditors we daily face
Who topple down with gruesome grace

And we toast the aristocrats with blood of blue
'Cause we know our collars are that color, too
And we toast the artisans of antediluvian crafts
With yarn and glue

We do, we do!

Fine. Busy. Looked in one night and there was nothing of interest to post on. Flagged a few shit posts, went to bed.

WHO?

Joanna "Fat bottom" Jewsom.

>>19468976
No, that would be the man who was a critically acclaimed poet before he became a songwriter, Leonard Cohen.

>>19476178
And yet you've accomplished nothing of the sort. You're a virgin queer and a pseud.

>>19479976
He's /lit/, boss
And this is a /mu/ thread, or should be

>actually is shocking to /lit/ that artists care about art other than their own

You guys are fucked in the head,

Oh, right... accusations of such inane breadth are b8 blah blah blah

>>19477988
lmao you say that but one of my first thoughts when listening to it was that its like "hipster kate bush lite" which was not meant as a compliment

>>19468944
Why does that unfunny jew get to bang her?

>>19478305
YOU fucking tranny, shut the fuck up. you can't just pretend to be a woman, huh, fag?
you always post like shit and somehow manage to come across as admiring the smell of your own shit. Admirable!

What’s some /newsomcore/ books?
