Joanna Newsom: Live at Academy 2, Manchester, UK, 14 April 2005.
*Updated some links. Will do the rest tomorrow.This is a set for those of you who became aware of the beautiful harp-playing Ms. Joanna Newsom following the release of the critically-acclaimed "on my Best of 2006 list" album Ys. Of course, Ms. Newsom already won most of us over with the intricately woven and beautiful 2004 LP titled The Milk-Eyed Mender. Many songs on this setlist are live versions of the latter release, a couple from the 2003 self-released EP Yarn and Glue, and two new songs (Sawdust and Diamonds, and the fantastic Only Skin) which later appear on Ys. A real keeper.
Ms. Newsom is backed by a lady called Ariella on this one. No info on Ariella, leave a comment if you know who she is.

And just because I like to be excessive, here's Joanna's cover of one of my favorite songs of all time, Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix, performed live at the Meltdown Festival in London, UK, June 26, 2005.
Grab this now before the bandwidth devil strikes. If you are late, then go to the Hype Machine for a listen.
Buy Joanna Newsom's music.
Read about most things Joanna Newsom here.
And finally:
Download a cover of Peach, Plum, Pear by the fantastic Final Fantasy (aka Owen Pallett) from Brooklyn Vegan. If you don't know Final Fantasy, you should. This Canadian violinist is our answer to Andrew Bird, and his 2006 album He Poos Clouds which won the Canadian Polaris Music Prize (our answer to UK's Mercury Prize) - over acts like the New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene, Metric, Sarah Hammer and Wolf Parade - is also on my Best of 2006 list.

Thank you.

I went to a show in that European tour she did (not really a European tour, as she only played places - meaning countries - where a harp similar to hers could be supplied, because she was unable to bring her own. I was lucky enough to be in one of those). Anyway, what she said when introducing Ariella is that she has been one of her best friends for a long time, and (as far as i can remember) that they had learned music together. I don't know her last name, though, but I might be able to find it if you want. I do have her picture though.
A picture would be nice, thanks Isabel.
Ariella (Daly) is also named in the "Ys"-credits...
Thank you for putting these up!
It seems the bandwidth devil has struck. I hope you can repost these. Or post them as a zip file. If you need help hosting, let me know. Maybe I can put them up on my site and it could be a Marvel Team-Up kinda thing. Kwaya Na Kisser enters the Timedoor!

Peter Newsom just played at Carneige Hall with Devendra
I enjoy your posts, but in this case I've been trying unsuccessfully to download these files ever since you posted them. I see some of them are hosted on filexoom, which I know was having problems recently. Any way to get hold of them?
