Joanna Newsom: Have One On Me

// March 6th, 2010 // No Comments » // Entertainment, Music

I couldn’t sleep last night as I was in the enthralls of a particularly stubborn sinus infection so I was begrudgingly flipping through late night television when I came across Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. I’m not a fan of Jimmy Fallon (his incessantly shifty and nervous behavior causes me anxiety) but I stopped channel surfing due to finger fatigue and found myself struck by the originality and authenticity of Joanna Newsom’s performance. I made a mental note this afternoon to see if last night’s over the counter drug binge (resulting in a semi-hallucinogenic state) temporarily clouded my musical palate. Definitely unique…Joanna’s latest album, Have One On Me, hit stores on February 23, 2010.

A great way to discover new music is to start with a band/album you enjoy and utilize Amazon’s user purchase trend data to follow what folks worldwide are listening to that dig similar music. I came across New York-based The Bravery via this method and have thoroughly enjoyed listening to their discography’s Punk/New Age blend over the past few weeks. Their latest album, Stir The Blood, dropped on December 1, 2009.
