Joanna Newsom handed her personality and tastes over to Pitchfork for a Guest List today, so of course we're left with nods to Lindsey Buckingham, Ra Ra Rabbit, Rocky Balboa and rumored boy toy, Bill Callahan.
Also, I love that Joanna can't help but utilize the triple-exclamation point popularized by jam-funk-disco-punk group Chk Chk Chk.
I love me some Moore Brothers live. They harmonize so gorgeously. I just saw them the other night here in town. My friend Allison kept screaming funny things like "Greg Moore, you are DEAD to me!!!" and pointing at them and dragging her finger across her throat. They were so good she didn't know what to do with herself, was the thing. She didn't mean any harm. Oh, also I saw a great big brass band in Japan last year called Mitamurakandadan? Awesome!!!
One more thing, Joanna downloads ringtones:
"Always on My Mind" by Willie Nelson.
I downloaded it and everything. I got really motivated to work it out so that my phone didn't make an awful noise when people called me, because I already have this problem with not picking up my phone-- even in the best of times. So I was hoping to kind of ease myself into the phone-picking-up thing, you know, sweeten the deal with a nice song. But before that, for the longest while, it was a standard ringtone called "Mellow Sorrow" which I chose because I thought the name was hilarious. But then I got really bummed out super fast, and it stopped being funny and I didn't know what to do. It's the worst song in the world. You just feel crestfallen when you hear it.
