Really this shuld be miles' thread but am listening to the album 'Goodnight Nobody', and it's utterly lovely
she has this beautiful timbre in her voice, a quavering at the end of phrases that is just beautiful, a bit like Laetitia Saedier for depth and warmth, Cat Power for the fragility, and yet she's much less wounded sounding
lovely
thanks miles

i only have loneliest in the morning and love it. far cry from most of the stuff she did with eric's trip. i followed her from that band. she is divine.
julie's songs are like stories whispered in your ear by your best friend while you are dreaming of someone you love.
julie is completely amazing.
'julie doiron and the wooden stars' is probably my fave, then désormais
last night i listened to:
- lonliest in the morning
- heart and crime
- goodnight nobody
and i still wanted more. am saving broken girl for this evening. sigh. i miss seeing her play live, she is truly amazing.
you should all have told me about her much sooner then! don't you feel bad?
(do you know what? i think the 'winking smiliing face' emoticon is passe...)
i was about to do one and hesitated. :/
i like that one though...
julies is a gem of a voice.
i have an album where she performs a song with her kids. so cute.
it's like her lips are touching my face
husky
divine. hey crackers, i called you last night cause i wanted to drop you the goodnight nobody spare disc i have. next time you visit me there will be gifts.
sveltes, what's the album with her singing with her kids? me no have...
isn't that song on the okkervil river split cd ?
oh me have that one. time for a relisten methinks.
yeah, track 10 off the split
yep, okkervil river/ julie doiron split.

can you nice people who like julie and who know and trust me please take a look at the clip i posted on my very first thread ever... called 'Margo Guryan - 16 Words'
it's lovely and very clever.
divine. hey crackers, i called you last night cause i wanted to drop you the goodnight nobody spare disc i have. next time you visit me there will be gifts.
ex-quizite :)
will bring you flowers in return!
i'm sorry if you were offended by my salad bowl comment, cracksy ... it wasn't meant like that
hahaha!
no, i think i was surprised that it was being referred to at all!
i did wonder what sort of salad-bowl-napper you thought i was.
no, it's sitting, shiny and clean on my kitchen bench awaiting a safe return.
i have used your little tupperware thing to store sliced pears in the fridge tho!
"tell me you are lonely and i'll want to be with you, tell me you are lonely"
julie is so perfect for a day like today. i'm listening to julie doiron and the wooden stars after a 2 year gap of not having this album it is now mine again and is bringing all the warmth of my listening memories back to me. and the wooden stars on this record are just beautiful.
Heart and Crime especially is quite quite wonderful.
Why hasn't she toured, eh?
y'all should listen to shotgun and jaybird .. julie's in 'em
"Trying to Get Somewhere" is a damn good album
How do you pronounce Doiron? Is it as simple as doy-ron?
dwa-ron .. but not a hard n
m_h, your french is impeccable, that is exactly how you pronounce it.
shotgun and jaybird are awesome, i saw them a few times earlier this year.
You know what, as soon as I asked that question, I thought..... DUH!
Of course it's not doy-ron.
It's more like DOYruhn, same emphases as Byron.
LOL
WOW
she's really rocked herself up with this new album!
can't wait for her new album.
anyone here heard erics trip. worth a listen if you like julie.
her old band.
m_h, new album? details please! i go on holidays for a week and i miss a new julie album? freak out!
mregirl, eric's trip are indeed worth a listen. love tara is unmistakable brilliance.
'Woke Myself Up'.. out Jan 23 in the USA... should make it here first week of feb?
Hi Miles!
hey ben! i think i heard a few of the new tunes when i saw her play in august last year. sweet.
it appears Miles will immerse me in this world tomorrow.... :)
everyone ought to be immersed in julie's voice at least once in their lives.
totally diggin', miles!
she's a sweet voiced angel. every album is a treat. i am awaiting the new one with much excitement, especially cause rick white produced it with her... sigh. those two really do make wonderful music together.
we don't go nowhere
let the baby sleep
let the dogs rest
and we'll stay here 'til november is through
(oh how this has been playing in my head...)
awwww

hey switch, how long til the new album is ready to buy?
hope to get 'em end of next week for all interested!
julie got divorced ?????
The Wrong Guy is a really nice tooooon.
i can't stop listening to Désormais
i have no idea what she is saying, but i love it. especially ''Tu es malades'' which i think means you are sad? or you are sick? or you are strange?
i think it means 'sick', alter. i love singing along with her, i have no idea what she's saying. i'm probably doing a Ken Lee or something.
yeah, it can mean a few things though i think! the prettiness of the song makes me think she's going with ''strange''. i haven't sung along to it yet, mostly because i'm at work with my headphones in when i hear it, and i'd get laughed at for singing along in spaz french.
the rest of the song is about being sad and seeing the sadness in someone's eyes, and them confirming the sadness in words, so perhaps it's an illness or even a depression of sorts.
and so the 90's nostalgia continues. loneliest in the morning reissued
nice voice
i'm very sorry to think she got divorced
I'm just listening to her new album now. It starts out sounding like New Buffalo, but then it get nice and loud and fuzzy.
rick white is at the production helm again i believe, which explains the fuzzed-out-ness.
is the album in stores already?
yes. and i really really dig this new record. spill yer lungs! consolation prize! borrowed minivans!
oh yes it is brilliant. Fred Squires penned a few of the tunes Julie sings, he's a good egg that one.
so good.
i can wonder what you did with your day
SO GOOD
