You are doing way better than me in diversifying your music lists, nearly my whole mp3 is full of boys with guitars, it is kind of ridiculous.

So I loved a bunch of these. Emmy the Great was especially umm Great (I am cheesy). The way she is so deadpan throughout that video is just cool and oh strains of Halleluiah in there that make that song and her song better not all awful (I am looking at you X Factor). The Neko vid is so cool, people who can draw like that are just wow (does the tiger remind anyone else of The Tiger That Came To Tea childrens book?). Would you believe that is my first time hearing Beth Orton even though so many people talk about her?

Joanna Newsom's voice reminds me a little of Angus and Julia Stone (who I love) but taken slightly further, more...I dunno, um, stretched out to create a kind of deliberately disturbing effect? It's the kind of voice that chills me a little bit and makes me really sharp focus on the lyrics, the way she's using sound.

Thanks so much for sharing *beams*, enthusiastic music gilr over here in case you didn't know :)
