Joanna Newsom, I think.

[humanoid]

Joanna Newsom is correct.....

[amyzzz]

She has a horrible haircut.

[Boourns]

[PassiveTheory]

You haters are just jealous.

[amyzzz]

Hey now. I think she's cute, but that hair has to go.

[JackMcBain]

am i missing something here, where did this chick come from? :P

[thelastgreatman]

Amy, your hair looked like a Greek vagina.

And I'd suck on those nips for most of a week--her tits are officially approved.

I have no idea if her music is any good.

[bmack86]

You'd hate it Randy, I've no doubt in my mind.

[thelastgreatman]

Why, what does it sound like?

[bmack86]

She plays harp, has a voice that not many people enjoy and uses phrases like hydrocephalitic in her songs. The first album is fairly stripped down and rhythmic for harp/folk instrumentation, and the second one is filled with an orchestra and really weaving song structures.

If you're interested in checking her out, get Ys. It's got 5 long songs, and it's fantastic.

I like her voice and the music is nice. I always youtube before buying something
KcHjAUhtSrk I thought this one was really good

[oftheheartofthesoul]

2009 needs Sade! Immediately!

Joanna Newsom NEEDS to play at Coachella.....seriously...I saw her open for Bjork at Red Rocks and she was amazing....she needs to pull the show with a orchestra (ala Disney Concert Hall) for maximum epicness....

[bmack86]

The orchestra shows were astounding. I was at the Disney Concert hall one, and I have recordings of others, and they were so good. At the Disney Concert hall, she said that a good number of the players were the same musicians who recorded the orchestral tracks for Ys. And, Van Dyke Parks was sitting front row.

I really wish I could have attended one of those shows...I heard nothing but great things....
