Joanna Newsom

I first want to say I love this picture.

I have very recently been introduced to Joanna Newsom's music. It is very odd. She plays the harp and other instruments and sings in a old-lady/little girl voice if that's possible. The songs seem very simple and nonsensical but are actually very deep and layered.

When i first heard her voice it reminded me of Bjork. Kind of crazy and wierd. It's the harp playing that got me. she plays that harp like it's a guitar. Very untraditional sounds coming out.

Some of her songs are almost medieval in their harmonies, like madrigals.

This is not play-it-loud-in-the-car music. It is sitting-in- a little -room-sipping-wierd-teas music.

Went to pick apples today. I ended up with 15 lbs of apples! I feel Fall in the air!
