Can someone please help me understand Joanna Newsom? She's adorable, and I'm sure she's an accomplished musician, and I appreciate what she's trying to do, but it just sounds awful to me. Terrible and awful. What am I missing?

I adore her. She definitely seems to be one of those acts where there's no one on the fence: you either love her or find it ridiculous. If you've listened to Ys and don't like it, I'm not going to convince you otherwise.

I don't care for her music, but surely she upped her coolness factor by marrying the SNL dude.

I could not even get through one song on her new album.

No thanks!!!!!!

Thankfully we all have different tastes, or it would be a boring world!

She definitely has a nicer ass than either of the Indigo Girls. So there's that.

I liked The Milk-Eyed Mender and Ys but thought Have One on Me was bloated and self-indulgent and never made it all the way through it. Yet to listen to her new one.

Is it still a hot take if the take came five years after the fact?

That probably explains why out of the blue my daughter asked me the other day "Daddy, what's a foo?"

Sigh.

Probably my most anticipated release of the past few months, Perfume's new ep is very disappointing. Just sorta limp and lifeless, and not a single moment of exuberance. I listen to 'Level 3' or 'JPN' and I want to race a dancing kitty kat automobile to the joyful candy moon or something, but this new one just makes me feel like an old oatmeal woman.



Fortunately Red Velvet saves the day with their debut album, quixotically called "The Red" and smashing lead-off single "Dumb Dumb".
