Let's hear a collective hooray! She's my favourite artist by a country mile (other than...)

Anyway, i thought that this thread could be used in a frinky/frinkish/frinkesque sort of manner. As well as this we/I could include some sycophantic mania (a la faber)

I'll start:

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to finally pose the question. What the hell does "Frink" actually mean?

cheers

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

thx for the pics, she appears highly doable
however, her music aint my thing, sorry

 

[modrevolve]

she's pretty..too bad she's already got a man

 

[Wit-and-Wisdom]

Doabale?

Please, keep these terms for media whores such as that Cole ma bob off of X factor. Joanna is only worthy of pleasant elegant and eloquent compliments

[Uncleskinny]

She can't do any wrong in my book. Fab stuff.

Joanna's new 3 CD album is out on the 30th of this month over here. I urge everyone with any degree of desire to be remotely happy to buy it. I've had the pleasure of listening to it (it is 2 hours long) and think it's absolutely terrific, possibly even better than The Milk-Eyed Mender. You can listen to it here:

enjoy everyone!

It's all been said before -
what more could a guy ask, a lyric-writing genius with an utterly unique voice, who's also so very - c'mon, let's say what we mean here - f***able

Did anybody manage to catch the wonderful joanna newsom gig in Manchester on Saturday? It was a great gig. There is a link to my review below...

Yes I was there, she was mesmerising. I certainly won't see many other people as talented as her in my lifetime again. Roy Harper was a treat too.

Only disappointment was the lack of '81, which I regard as one of the finest songs ever written let alone of this year.

mesmerising is a good word to describe saturday's concert. it was a real treat and one that will forever be remembered. i too would have loved to hear '81
