Well, now we find out as it has just been confirmed that the following bands form the bill - so far - for the event, which takes place next March.»
For no real other reason than we can. I mean, it's pretty pointless, but I certainly wouldn't want to be the bloke who hadn't seen this during conversation in a pub on a Friday night. Via Under The Radar and Pitchfork.»
It seems like it's been a while since the latest acts were announced for any of the December ATP festivals. In fairness, the organisers have probably been quite busy enough with all the I'll Be Your Mirror stuff going on. Anyway, the newest additions for »
You may think that, whilst Joanna Newsom's career so far has been relatively sparkling, she's hardly a worthy subject of whole albums of covers. Some people might agree with you, but if you sit down and think about it, the quality of material points towards more worthiness than not. So reconsider.»
Gutting news for all those around the world who had held out hope that the high priestess of all-things folk would make an appearance as herself on the cult TV cartoon show The Simpsons. Joanna Newsom - who had previously been rumoured to be turned into a four-fingered, yellow-skinned creation, won't be...well, turning up at any point in the near future (via Pitchfork.»
It wouldn't feel right not writing something about Joanna Newsom every now and then, just like it wouldn't feel right not reading something about Lady Gaga every few days/hours/minutes.

It appears that Joanna Newsom will be appearing on The Roots' new record, How I Got Over, in one form or another. That is, according to the hip-hop group's drummer ?uestlove, who revealed so on his Twitter page yesterday. »
THIS IS THE NEWS.

And it gurns, gurns gurns...»
A J-New double whammy today, to some extent, as well as releasing Have One On Me today (which got 9/10), she's also just been announced as a headliner for this year's Green Man Festival.

The old cliché that 'a picture is worth a thousand words' is trotted out a lot, but a) it's often true, and b) it'd be silly not to use it here. So here we have it. I'm not sure what to make of the world any more. Here are some snaps of people hugging the newly released J-New album Have One On Me, which is released here on Monday.»
Hi there. Just a quick one here to say that much the admir'd Joanna Newsom has been confirmed to play the Matt Groening-curated ATP festival, which takes place in May this year, at Butlin's, Minehead. Cue moaning of people who went and bought ATP Pavement tickets. »

So, you remember last week when those details about Joanna Newsom's new album, Have One On Me 'dropped'? Yeah. Good news and all that, but wasn't the album art a bit...dull? Uninspired? Bland? Just plain old shit? And Tacky? »
FINALLY! Something concrete!»
Work this out, if you can.»
So, what a year it has been for news. Hasn't it? Above average? There was some good stuff, right? Yes, there was, and in light of my first six months or so doing the news for Drowned in Sound, I thought it'd be a good idea to run through SOME of the very most exciting and interesting and sometimes "WTF!" news stories of the year. Or at least nobody stopped me when I mooted this suggestion...I guess that gives me free reign then?»
