Harping On

Wasn’t it great the way Hercules & Love Affair transformed Antony from hammy, maudlin balladeer to hammy, maudlin disco diva? Now that Joanna Newsom is making the gossip pages we think it’s high time she too was transformed into a k-fueled club freak. Imagine it: a harp and silver hotpants. That is a world-beating combination. Anyway, it seems her reinvention is already underway. Pocketknife set the ball rolling with a suitably dreamy makeover for the very excellent Tambourine Dream EP and and now dubstep dude Clouds has drowned her in bass. Right on!
