Joanna Newsom announces fall dates, books show at Carnegie Hall

Joanna Newsom can do whatever the fuck she wants, whenever the fuck she wants, and no one can really stop her. How do I know? BECAUSE I AM HER MANAGER*. When she told me that she wants to release a crazy three-album monster called Have One On Me (TMT Review), I called up Drag City and said, “Listen up, Newsom wants to release three albums at one time: make this shit happen or I will blow shit up!” When she said she wanted to tour with Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold, I was like “Consider it done… as soon as you tell me who Fleet Foxes are!**”

Like I said, Newsom can do whatever the fuck she wants, whenever the fuck she wants.

So when Newsom approached me last week and said she wanted to finish her tour with Pecknold, play Jimmy Kimmel on August 11, tour Europe in September, and play New York’s Carnegie Hall in November, I raised my two hands straight out in front of me, crossed my eyes, and said, in my best robot impression, “YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND, MASTER NEWSOM.”

We couldn’t stop laughing at my joke for hours.
