I found out that NPR was streaming Joanna Newsom’s new album in its entirety. Before finding that out I knew that a track from the album, “Good Intentions Paving Company” (I think) was available for download on Drag City’s site, following a cryptic blog entry bearing the date 2/23/10.

AAron and I like to go to bars and ‘meet girls’, which means that we like to go to bars and not talk to girls and instead talk about this blog. When we talk about this blog we often talk about what will make people want to read this blog or what would be worth [...]
