Not so silent, it's been posted in the Found On The Net thread.
I'm sure there'll be more when Inherent Vice gets a full release though.

Although I rather suspect most of the more active Milky Moon members (of which I'm not) are mainly interested in discussing her music. Which it seems we've still got quite a long wait for.

I'm still waiting for the 'Has she become too Hollywood glam?' thread.

We'll just have to content ourselves with reporting on non-news, like the inclusion of Joanna's theoretical new album on this list:

And on this one as well:

Keep it civil in here! Don't let the absence of a new album get to you. Remain strong.

I assume you guys are talking about this facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/JoannaNewsomUnofficial

It is very good!

@ Claire & Gerry2:

I don't care about moralistic points of view, you're perfectly entitled to get a "fan attitude", I personnally chose not to feel trapped in this and I'm glad most of my musical "heroes" chose not to become tabloid figures (allthough they could have...). When I appreciate a musician, I'm only interested in their work, and I admit some personal facts that help me to understand their work. But I certainly don't expect them to become "products", which could keep them from doing the great job that drove me to their work.

So I don't feel like talking for her "fans" as I really don't feel like a fan. But I'm sure for the people who, like me, are just interested in her musical work. I don't intend to dictate anything for her "life" (I don't care about her life except anything connected to her musical progression), I only talk about musical expectations and I think the way she chooses to run her "carreer" might be misleading and I kind of feel disapointed.

So I won't "get a grip" because I feel free to express what I want to say (some people have just been killed 300 meters away from the place I work because others refused them the right to do so!) and as I don't feel like a "fan", I certainly don't feel like a "dude" either...

Respectfully yours.

I'm proud to be Joanna Newsom fan. Proud I tell you!

For the benefit of those of us too old, stupid, or insular to do Bookface or the other one (which I concede may be a set containing just one person) I for one would be most grateful if this forum did stay alive, and if any important developments that emerged on other platforms could appear here too. For example, I'd hate to miss out on a chance of tickets when she next comes to London...

I've listened to the two tracks on the Inherent Vice soundtrack cd - interesting and I think her voice works rather well for the role. I haven't seen the film yet, though.
