It seems that attendees at a recent Golden Shoulders gig at The Centre for the Arts, Grass Valley, were treated to an impromptu singalong by Joanna Newsom.

Presumably, the song heard in the video is "Bring Me Down", though I don't know their stuff -- perhaps someone else can confirm?

A keen-eyed fan also spotted that one of the questions on Golden Shoulders' FAQ appears to be written by Newsom -- and it contains that phrase, "infinite regress", that we hear in "Divers".

Q: How does Thomas Kuhn's paradigmatic definition of theory-pure data, particularly in terms of its correlation with the epistemological account of sense data offerred up by Rouseau--in answer to Descartes' solipsistic and axiomatic arrest of the infinite regress (i.e. Je crois, alors j'existe)--relate to the passage in "Long Time to Come," in which you vent, rather Foucault-like (to use an eponymous reference that tends towards the pedestrian) about your frustration with the delay in your personal transition form the acute verbosity of your sexual experience as a simple institutionlized discourse, into a productive and internal condition of the formerly superstructural position of exteriority with respect to you, totally being able to finally come? Cause that was rad.

A: Ladies and gentlemen, this question was brought to you by Joanna Newsom. Someday you'll see it framed above your table at the Hard Rock Café in Tuscon next to a Josh Klinghoffer guitar pick and the ashes of Bob Seger.

Hi - yes the song that appears in the short clip above is "Bring Me Down", which was the third track on their 2002 album Let My Burden Be.
