Long break ends with new Joanna
It’s been a few weeks since I posted anything here, mostly because I’ve studying older music for a few weeks, which while awesome didn’t really seem post worthy. In the time since I last posted, Conan got removed from the Tonight Show (albeit with a lovely exit package) and there is now an hour long void in my soul. As one of the few people my age group who actually watched his show on a regular basis (sad but true), I feel kind of shafted but maybe he’ll latch on somewhere else and be even funnier. At this point my late night life has become all Craig Ferguson all the time, which is still great because Craig is hilarious.
In unexpected news, my New York Jets actually did something good and upset two teams en route to the AFC Championship where they played a very respectable first half and ended up getting dismantled in the second. Still, it was an inspiring even if surprising.
In very expected news, Mass Effect 2 sucked my soul in and returned it to me only two days ago upon completion of the game. I am now wholly better and looking forward to the conclusion of the fantastic trilogy in about two years (mega sigh). At least the word “bosh’tet” has now entered my lexicon!
In musical news, lots has happened, but something that interests me a great deal is Joanna Newsom’s upcoming third full length, Have One on Me, which was recently announced to be a triple album. Can that be right? Triple?? Furthermore, a track from the album set to drop in three weeks is up on the Drag City website. It’s gorgeous, and very vocaly, something that certainly could’ve been on The Milk-Eyed Mender and something that certainly couldn’t have been on Ys. I loved both though so I’m scarcely complaining.
Here’s the track, and pre-order the album off Drag City here.
This is where her MySpace would be if she had one. Is there any other artist out there who doesn’t have a MySpace? Awesome.
