SADNESS ALERT: JOANNA NEWSOM SHOW CANCELED
Joanna Newsom was supposed to play the Stafford Centre this Friday night, which I thought was a nice match of artist and venue since she plays a harp, a fairly ornate and dignified instrument, and the Centre is a cush seated venue with great sound.
Newsom’s show here was cancelled due to soft ticket sales.

fave part of the interview:
29-95: There’s a lot of tumult and impending doom on disc 1 but also some hope. Then disc 2 gets really dark. I guess if you’re going to have three discs, there has to be some sort of conflict.
A: Yeah, I would definitely say there’s a sense of upheaval and change in those songs. I’m not intending it as a commentary on my own life or anything. It’s just the way the album is organized. The second chapter is a bit ominous with more storm clouds.
29-95: Like the Star Wars trilogy.
A: Exactly like the Star Wars trilogy.
