Why are Joanna Newsom fans called "tadpoles," exactly? Is it because they are used to swimming around in swamplands and pond muck? Or is it perhaps that, when they're not resorting to cannibalism, their diet consists in such a large part of detritus and other aquatic filth? I mean, this might make some sense, considering they're expected to swallow whatever's the latest trash that Ms. Newsom has released.
Three exceptional albums? More like two barely tolerable albums and one that was just completely atrocious? You should see my review for The Milk-Eyed Mender on here if you haven't already.
It's really quite an honour that we have an all-seeing cosmic force posting on the forum. At long last, Earth has someone who can arbitrate objectively in matters of personal taste and priority: now that AgesilausLacis is offering his judgments freely and unbidden, never again will we have to ask, "But is it art?" The world has struggled for thousands of years with the question of artistic merit, and that struggle is finally over. I think we should all feel blessed that it's happened here, among us, and in gratitude to AgesilausLacis, and in recognition of his proven superiority, bring our preferences exactly into line with his. However, Mr. Lacis, I can't help but feel that your talents - as much as we all appreciate them - are wasted here. There are wars being fought in the world, sir; and it strikes me that with your acutely discerning faculties, you're ideally suited to telling everyone which side is in the right so the other can surrender without bloodshed - and all with a few smug, sarcastic comments! How we have laboured for peace when we had only to look to the pompous. Or why, indeed, aren't you presenting a proposal to the UN that, due to your transcendent acumen and talent for appraisal, world leaders should be selected by you, rather than democratically elected? There are many ways you could put your powers to better use; these suggestions highlight but a few possibilities.
Holy crap... Dude, get a life! You hate Joanna Newsom, we get it! You've been trolling this board for 9 months now. You're not about to "enlighten" us or change any minds, especially with the disgusting misogyny of your delivery. Isn't there something more productive you could do with your genius-level critical and journalistic ability?
My idol John waters said something along the lines of 'with filmmakers, they want everybody to like it. If everybody loves and artist's piece of work, it's terrible' I think that applies to Joanna. Also, if you don't like her voice, how can you not have respect for her musical skills? I don't like Lady Gaga, but I recognse that she has talent. If, AgesilausLacis, you can play harp and piano as well as Joanna can and write songs thata are as beautiful, then, maybe, you can be a judge.
Of course, I have one aim, the grotesque. If I am not grotesque I am nothing.
Salzedo's skill and compositional ability were unquestioned; only his "method" was controversial.
And I acknowledge Joanna's abilities on the harp, even though she could hardly keep pace with the leading concert harpists around the world. As for her Cabbage Patch Kid voice (and face), this is significantly harder to defend. Her songwriting abilities are quite weak, too...all designed to create this feeling of homespun warmth and wisdom, which is clearly affected and anachronistic.
