Joanna Newsom
And since this is the best thread for hateful bitchery (there used to be a lot of threads like this but conveniently I can't find them anymore) I'll redirect my post from the Comus 1001 thread to here.

Are you baiting me or are you really the ridiculous indie kid stereotype I actually think you are?
People really have a warped sense of talent these days. Waters is a great songwriter and lyricist, and a decent bass player. If you think he has no talent then there's nothing I can say except that our definitions of talent are completely different.
I don't get any impression that Newsom is talented at all, she can't sing, in fact her voice (which is kin to a constipated Vietnamese prostitute trying to do a Lucille Ball impersonation) is one of the most horrid train wrecks of a sound to ever rape my ears, she can't play her instruments but because she plays a lot of them that's supposed to make her some kind of prodigy I guess and I ultimately fail to detect any trace of songwriting talent in the clumsy, primitive and unlistenable tosh that people are now calling freak folk.
Nice title btw, better than the working title which was "godawful atonal avant folk horsesh*t".
Just my opinion though, flame away, I'm not gonna make an argument out of it, but I needed to let it out. If anyone results to personal insults then, do it. I'll let you do it this time because I'm sure a lot of people think it's warranted. But when I have something on my mind that pisses me off immensely, it's hard to let go.
