LOVED this quote from California harpie Newsom in The Guardian on Monday: “The music press is so saturated with Twitters and blurbs and MySpace – there’s so much that is just noise. It’s overwhelming and also, I think, ineffective.” Hear hear.
Meanwhile, I’d like to suggest that “The Good Intentions Paving Co.”, on JN’s brilliant triple opus HAVE ONE ON ME, is the best track of the year so far.
Am I only the person, by the by, who hears the influence of Judee Sill’s posthumous DREAMS COME TRUE on H.O.O.M. – or at least Jim O’Rourke’s radically lo-fi mix of said album, which is obviously very different from Judee’s Asylum albums?

Hmmm…the doubled-up vocals remind me a touch of Joni Mitchell’s “Hejira” LP
