yeah. nothing of note. no cryptic plays-on-words, no further mention of the "super-secret" album they hinted at last month..
album releases are tuesdays, at least in the states so if they're gonna drop it without notice, then next tuesday is the only possibility to satisfy the "before thanksgiving" date also mentioned in octobers newsletter.
the fact there was no mention is a good thing, i thought it was gonna turn out to be some shit band's new album, it could still turn out to be that but i think its unlikely.
I really hope it is a new Joanna album. That'd be an awesome end of term/early Christmas present. I'm reading Max Weber for sociology and politics and I'm always so tempted to quote Look and Despair in an essay - "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 Mitchell depart for the western front, where my work might count". Or, "all of the twenty-thousand attending your foot-fall and the causes they died for are lost in the idling bird-calls; the records they left are cryptic at best, lost in obsolescence, which text will not yield, nor x-ray reveal with any fluorescence. The event lives only in print" - that one would also fit well in an archaeological or anthropological theory essay.
glad someone mentioned that new albums release on Tuesdays cause I didn't catch on to that lol. I had someone ask me on tumblr how sure I was that we'd be seeing new Joanna this month because they thought maybe the new Ty Segall was what DC may have been hinting at w/ the "super secret" business. Thoughts? Could that have been what they were alluding to? I was hoping that wasn't it but now this whole "non mention in the new newsletter but theres still next Tuesday!!" is my last bit of hope to cling on to :/
myyyyy feeling on Ty Segall being their super secret record is that it cannot possibly be.
They mentioned him specifically and wrote about his album (which was released in August) in the october newsletter, prior to saying that thing about having a secret record.
The likelihood of him having ANOTHER release now, just a few months later is so slim its almost impossible, and on top of that, i'd like to think IT would have been announced by now, if it were. Instead, the november newsletter just talked about that august album being released on cassette.
Also, what is their incentive for keeping a new segall record hush-hush? I mean, HOOM was sorta released sneakily, with little warning. Leaks are a problem with her records... Just saying (perhaps too optimistically) that there are reasons to believe its a joanna record. reasons beyond just blind hope.
I agree w/ you but honestly, I don't really read through their newsletters as they only have a few artists on their label that I'm interested in (Joanna being the main one). But w/ the whole Ty Segall thing, I didn't think that was their SUPER SECRET either, but only because I'd seen it mentioned a lot in their newsletters and on their site etc... so I kinda wrote that off as just EH IT COULD BE BUT I'M PRETTY SURE ITS NOT. I still have hope it could be released next week
I'd also like to dissect this a little, if i may: (from oct. newsletter) "Anyway, pick up some of this stuff in time for Thanksgiving or whatever holiday gets you off. PLUS the new stuff. PLUS the super-secret record for you super-UNsecret punters!"
Considering Rian Murphy's writing is the ravings of a pageant child on pixie stix and mountain dew, I would venture to say that this mention of a super secret record isn't necessarily bound to the thanksgiving holiday he mentioned before. It was mentioned immediately after his thing about thanksgiving but i wouldnt say it necessarily was a promise that it would be out by thanksgiving. He could just mean by years-end, he could mean by "whatever holiday gets you off". He could actually BE a toddler in a pageant dress typing manically on a keyboard with sticky pixie stix hands. we don't know.
Second, does everyone else get the "punters" comment and i'm just an idiot?? Is it a slang term i don't understand? Is it a reference to the fact that joanna albums are hinted at with puns in newsletters past? (the proven: "the Noose…um, draws closer.” and the possible: "Speaking of your sweet, stupid expectations, there's one more record we're talking about throwing on the November date that you can't know about yet, which means we can't tell you. And given that this is a NEWS-letter, fuck!")
NEWS....November date...?
(Of course "talking about throwing on" sure means it could be delayed... )
but if calling people who are reading as much as i am into shoddily-crafted puns "punters" is their way of giving us the wink-and-nod then make of that what you will...
But seriously is "punters" a slang term i don't get?
wow...i JUST got the puns you pointed out. I never understood that whole "noose...um" thing until just now (but also I didn't follow JNew when HOOM came out so I missed that whole release entirely" BUT I'M SUPER EXCITED now that you pointed that out cause it does make sense!!!! And I think you could really be on to their puns and hints.
i don't think theres anything more to the whole "punters" thing, that I can think of. But I think you're right in that they're maybe hinting at the fact that they refer to her in puns..
Trying to make sense of all the garbage in those newsletters is exhausting. I will be very annoyed if there's no new album but I haven't given up hope.
It's too late to be grateful It's too late to be late again It's too late to be hateful
i was approaching this with cautious optimism but on reading what people have said about the other possible albums being released by other artists i can safely say i am convinced they are talking about her and we will get news about a new newsom release by the end of the month, i'm already psyched.
True, Steve - I was thinking more of "the average punter", which has connotations like "the average Joe". I imagine that started with disparaging talk among tradesmen of the ignorance of the non-professional public ("The average punter wouldn't know an obscure inner plane from a tightened outer plane!") before becoming analogically generalised to mean "the average (uninitiated) person".
