Well they became very good friends. It was down to Joanna that Roy Harper started performing again. They also discussed recording a song together, I believe.
Would she really want to promote a new album whilst her friend stood trial?
Odd? I raised it before, but it wasn't addressed. I brought it up again because it seems like a valid reason why the album might be delayed. I'm not intent on stirring it up. I merely stated what he alleged to have done. I believe that someone is innocent till proven guilty.
To weigh in, I doubt it has anything to do with Roy Harper. Albums get delayed for a variety of reasons, especially when the artist is a perfectionist. More likely it has to do with Van Dyke Parks' schedule or Joanna's own, given that her private life has seemingly been fairly eventful lately. Contractual disputes are also a possibility, though not one we have any evidence for.
Alternatively, Drag City may just have announced the release prematurely (and note that their announcement hardly amounted to as much as that; it was the dropping of a hint at most) to stir up interest - "Rumours of a new Joanna Newsom album" is better publicity than none at all after four years with no releases.
'Better stop the blah blah'? Freedom of speech, thank you.
I did say I believe someone is innocent till proven guilty. If a close friend of mine were to stand trial then that would be pretty earth shattering. I'm not contesting whether Roy Harper did it or not. I think some of you are missing the point. Roy Harper was a massive influence on Joanna. Stormcock is her favourite album or at least Me and My Woman is her favourite song. They've become good friends and I just think Joanna would want to be there for him, being the person that she is.
Soo... going back to what Jordan said, did DC actually announce/hint at a Joanna release coming up? I didn't see it in their recent newsletter but then again, I tend to just skim through them these days.
They have done, recently-ish, in their usual cryptic bullshit way. Maybe not in the last newsletter, but a few newsletters ago - pretty sure it's further up this thread.
Ooh, you mean how they said something about 'July'?
"Because – July! That’s when things start to get REALLY insane. We’re not gonna talk about it yet, because of this thing called anticipation? Maybe you heard of it while you were putting condiments on your hamburger or hot dog? It’s a good thing, you should definitely try it sometime."
From your post, I thought you meant they outright said "Rumours of a new Joanna Newsom album" in a newsletter, but now that I just reread your post, I understand the context differently and why you wrote that.
Yeah; I meant that that's the kind of coverage they were hoping for, if it was just a premature hint to prime the market - or, as they euphemistically say in the PR business, to 'get people excited'. I don't have a lot of patience for them (or record labels in general), but sadly it's not exactly easy to go DIY when you have to record a whole orchestra.
There was also the previous hint with the play on words involving "noose" - which is pretty much why I ignore their newsletters and wait till I actually see a release date and an album cover before I get my hopes up.
There probably isn't any relation between the trial and the record release. And even if there was, we wouldn't know it unless Joanna or DC came out and blatantly said, "The record has a delayed release because of the Harper accusations" etc...
Everyone on here just grabbing at any sort of reason that may be cause for the 'delay' of the record (and I'm not saying that I don't do that either) but the fact is...we have ZERO info about the release. Maybe there isn't a 'DELAY' at all! So yes, while its fun to think of these things that she might be waiting on, to put out the new album, really we're all just consoling ourselves for the fact that no info has officially been released about it and we don't have anything to go on... So really, the bickering on this thread is pointless and don't get worked up about it, and I say that cause I sense some conflict and hostility on here. The only things that any of us are going on is 'the DC person said this at a wedding last year', 'well the DC newsletter maybe hints at this'. Nothing is confirmed until Joanna or DC outright says it.
And I'm not saying I don't do the same thing by imagining all of these possibilities for us having to wait 4+ dang years for a new album. I'm just saying...lets actually keep this thread things that are 'found on the net' and stray away from what we all think the meaning of 'freedom of speech is'.
