obsessed: joanna newsom

joanna newsom is the kind of girl i hate - talented, whimsical, and so naturally beautiful with her long flowing hair and skinny legs i can't help but be jealous. but as if all that wasn't enough, shes so fucking likable i want to scream because i'll never be that soft spoken or have that sweet, coquettish little laugh that draws people to me and makes them wonder what's going on in that pretty little head. that is to say, i wish i were joanna newsom. the little pixie is coming out with a new album on february 23, which i am most excited to hear, but i'm revelling in the cover art for now. my dream apartment interior decor scheme - cluttered fairytale.

as if the cover art didn't get me going enough, album details have me sitting on the edge of my seat: Have One on Me is a triple album (triple album!!!), it runs about 2 hours, and a most delicate song, kingfisher, can be streamed currently at drag city. i'm sure after listening you will see what all the fuss is about.

miss joanna also performed some songs live in australia about a month ago, below is 'easy' but you can find others on cloudedsunny's youtube page. perhaps you may be the next to see her live. she's gracing toronto with her presence on march 13 and plays back to back dates in montreal on the 14th and 15th.
