The final part of Baby Birch. We will miss this song, but also, oh my god, what a relief. Since we are talking about the last verse this entire episode, it is obviously… heavy. Here is our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. Thank you all, so much, for listening. Thank you to David Pizarro for the sick music, and for the audio processing of every single episode. “I saw a rabbit as slick as a knife and as pale as a candlestick, and I had thought it’d be harder to do, but I caught her and skinned her quick: held her there, kicking and mewling, upended, unspooling, unsung, and blue; told her, ‘wherever you go, little runaway bunny, I will find you.’ And then she ran, as they’re liable to do.”

This is a very heavy episode because… Baby Birch. Part 4, the final part, of our discussion of this song is up now on Patreon. Here is our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. Thank you all for listening. Thank you so much to David Pizarro for the sick Joanna beats, and for all the time he spends getting the audio just right for every single episode. “You poor little cousin. I don’t want your dregs (a little baby fussing over my legs).”

We talk some more about this masterpiece of a song. The topics we cover include stars, cars, engines, brakes, breaks, and probably more because the episode is somehow an hour and a half. Here is our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. “We heard the rushing slow intake of the dark, dark waters and engine breaks (sic? Maybe not. But maybe).”

Well, guys. We’re here. We have somehow made it. Thank you all so much for listening. Check out our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. Thank you to David Pizarro for the music, and for processing the audio for us week after week. “This is a song for Baby Birch, though I will never know you.”

Our final part of this criminally underrated song. Please let us know what you think! Here is our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. “And you, with your ‘arrangement’ with Fate, nodded sadly at her lame assault on that steady old gate, her faultlessly etiolated fishbelly-face; the muzzle of a ghost.”

We talk some more about waking up, about finding yourself, about change arising from nothing… Ya know. Thank you to everyone for listening. Thank you to David Pizarro for the music and audio processing. Here is our Patreon where you can find all three of the No Provenance episodes, along with two bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true “I’m afraid of the Big Return. There’s a certain conversation lost, and that loss incurred with nobody remaining to register who had passed this way, in the night, in the middle of the night (negating their grace and their sight), till only I remember, or mark, how we had our talk…”

Listen. If you are a person who is not sold on this song, please give us the chance in the next three episodes to convince you of its absolute greatness. In this episode, we talk a lot about myths, barns, and betrayal! Thank you to you for listening; thank you to David Pizarro for his sick beats and audio processing skills. Here is our Patreon where all three of our No Provenance episodes are already up (along with a bonus episode!): https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. “I have died happy, and lived to tell the tale to you. I have slept for forty years, and woke to find me gone.”

More hell talk! More fog talk! More gender roles talk! Also, happy happy happy birthday to Sam, who is obviously completely incredible. Thank you all so much for listening. Thank you to David Pizarro for the lovely music and his audio processing skills. Check out our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. “And I know you meant to show the extent to which you gave a goddang- you ranged real hot and real cold, but I’m sold, I am at home on that range.”

We mess up some idioms, and talk about fist-fighting with fog, ignoring signposts on the way to hell, rebirth, nightmare vibes, fatalism, and obviously gender. We published our first bonus episode to Patreon this week wherein we discuss some real cool listener submissions. Check out our Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. Thank you all so much for listening, and thank you to David Pizarro for his sick beats and his audio processing skills. “And I regret, I regret how I said to you, ‘honey, just open your heart’ when I’ve got trouble even opening a honey jar. And that, right there, is where we are.”

In this episode, Sam and Nikki set out to prove their ability to find tangents and to make loose connections. We talk about kindness, dragons, empathy, etc. Here is a link to our Patreon, where we offer early access to episodes (as well as some sporadic bonus content): https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. Thank you all so very much for listening. Thank you to David Pizarro for the music and audio. “The unending amends you made are enough for one life. Be done.”

We talk about The Garden of Eden, get confused about “A.D.”, speculate about more narrator-mysteries, and revel in general about this song. We have a Patreon that you can find here: https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. Thank you so much to you all for listening. Thank you to David Pizarro for the beats and for the audio stuff he does every week. “It was dirt, and dirt is all the same.”

We say goodbye to Lola, and have a hard time with that. Syphilis comes up more than you would think. Goodbye, Lola. We love you forever. Thank you all so much for listening, and thank you to David Pizarro for the beautiful music and mysterious audio techniques. “Meanwhile, I will raise my own glass to how you made me fast and expendable, and I will drink to your excellent health, and your cruelty.”

Here’s Sam and Nikki, ta-da, to do a lot of talking about Lola! We talk a lot about how we’re heart-broken/devastated/deflated/saddened at nearly every part of the song. We also discover and react to Louis’ age. And who tf is narrating?! We will explore it all. Thank you to David Pizarro for the music, and thank you to every listener for listening. https://www.patreon.com/ahopelessendeavor?fan_landing=true. “Heaven has no word for the way you and your friends have treated poor Louis. May god save your poor soul, Lola! (But there is nothing I adore apart from that whore’s black heart.)”

In this first episode on the titular track, we talk a lot about the one and only Lola Montez. We talk so much about her that we only cover the first verse, but IT’S IMPORTANT, OKAY? Thank you all so so much for listening. Thank you to David Pizarro for the sick beats. Also, I should have been thanking David this whole time for cleaning up our audio because he does that every single week. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Email us at [email protected]. “I felt so bad cause I didn’t know how to feel bad enough to make him proud.”

CW that we didn’t mention at the beginning: we have a brief discussion about ABA. Okay, this episode is, once again, off the rails. Brace yourselves. We talk about Canadianisms, love languages, acid... and then, against vehement protests from Sam, Nikki tempts Bloody Mary, and she makes herself known. Thank you all for listening (especially if you somehow make it through this episode), and thank you so much to David Pizarro for the music. “You must not fear; you must meet me to see me, I am barely here.”

Fogs! Ports! Bays! We have it all in this episode. Thank you all so much for listening, and, as always, thank you to David Pizarro for the sick beats. “Come on, you little life-giver: give your life.”

Our first part of the first song of the masterpiece that is Have One On Me. We talk about rivers, beds, syllables, etc. Thank you to everyone for listening, and a special thank you to David Pizarro for the brand spanking new beat that he made for the new endeavor that is HOOM. He made three beats for HOOM - one for each of the three records. THANK YOU, DAVID. “No one knows what is coming, or who will harvest what we have sewn, or how I’ve been dulling, and dumbing in the service of the heart alone.”

The final episode on Colleen! We talk more about names, narwhals, the patriarchy, and other usual topics. Thank you so much, again, to Melissa Marturano from Blessing All the Birds. Check out her incredible post from a few weeks ago here: https://allthebirds.tumblr.com/post/647478743591436288/divers-colleen-and-monkey-bear-and-a. Thank you to David Pizarro for the music. And thank you to everyone who listens! We’ll be back next week with our first episode from Have One On Me, in which we discuss “Easy”. “Have you come here to rescue me? He laughed, and said, ‘From what, Colleen? You dried and dressed most willingly. You corseted and caught the dread disease by which one comes to know such peace’”.

We continue our discussion on this utterly captivating song. Thank you so much again to Melissa of Blessing All the Birds. The blog post that she wrote up in conjunction with last week’s episode can be found here: https://allthebirds.tumblr.com/post/647478743591436288/divers-colleen-and-monkey-bear-and-a. Thank you, too, to everyone who listens. And as always, thank you to David Pizarro for the gorgeous beat.

In this super special collaborative episode with the brilliant Melissa Marturano from Blessing All the Birds, we start our dive into the endlessly fascinating Colleen. Melissa has a post on Blessing All the Birds in which she discusses what she brought up in this episode (which you can find here: https://allthebirds.tumblr.com/post/647478743591436288/divers-colleen-and-monkey-bear-and-a ). Thank you so much, Melissa. For the rest of the episode, your fin-wife hags discuss selkies, naming, identity, seducing, and more! We hope you enjoy. Thank you so much for listening, and thank you to David Pizarro for his sick beat.

Part 2 of the gong show that is this discussion. We talk about syphilis finger, harpsicles (harp-sickles?), more flowers, monkey chair-arms... who even knows. Thank you so much to all of you who have been with us throughout our whole Ys adventure. Thank you too, to David Pizarro, for his magical Cosmia beat.

Okay, listen. This episode is a bit off the rails. We don’t know how to analyze fine art, but we gave it a go, and here is what we came up with. We dive into (and possibly drown in) Benjamin Vierling’s gorgeous, intricate masterpiece that is the Ys album art. I am pretty sure we mispronounce something several times a minute. WE TRIED. Please let us know if you have any thoughts or theories. We need your help, especially on this stuff. Good luck with this one. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you to David Pizarro for the lovely music.

The last part of the last episode of the last song on Ys. (Except we’re doing an episode on the album art next week so as to cling to this album as long as possible.) We hope you all enjoy! Special thanks to Av for his ridiculously helpful and informative video on Ys and music. Thank you, as always, to David Pizarro for the beautiful beat. Send us your thoughts on literally any Joanna song ([email protected]). We would love to hear them. After the album art episode next week, we are going to cover Colleen before diving into Have One On Me. Thank you so much for listening. “Wild Cosmia, what have you seen?”

We start our discussion on the last song from (what is probably) the greatest album of all time. We are sad about that, so you should email us ([email protected]) theories and questions about anything Ys related so that we can revisit it one more time. In the meantime, buckle in for some moth-talk. Thank you, as always, to David Pizarro for the beautiful Cosmia beat. Thank you also to the people who contributed to this episode! We appreciate you so much.

The final episode on Only Skin. What a trip. Thank you all for listening, and thank you to David Pizarro for his Cosmia beat. “All my bones, they are gone, gone, gone. Take my bones, I don’t need none.”

We get confused about lights, undiluted and weaving, babies out back, and anointing guns. Thank you so much to you all for listening. Thank you so much, too, to David Pizarro for the music. “Stay with me for a while. That’s an awfully real gun. I know life will lay you down, as the lightning has lately done.”

We continue our discussion on Only Skin! We talk about sex, drugs, birds, Sisyphus, and the Bible, hitting a bunch of the usual Joanna themes. Thank you so much to Blessing All the Birds, to David Pizarro for the Cosmia beat, and to Rachana for her absolutely gorgeous and impressive cover of Only Skin. Thanks also to everyone who contributed their theories. “I have got some business out at the edge of town, candy weighing both of my pockets down till I can hardly stay afloat from the weight of them (and knowing how the common folk condemn what it is I do to you to keep you warm: Being a woman).”

We talk a lot about nurturing. Thank you so much to everyone for listening. Thank you, too, to David Pizarro, aka Peez, for his Cosmia beat (“Framed Your Eyes”). “Press on me, we are restless things. Webs of seaweed are swaddling. And you call upon the dusk of the musk of a squid: shot full of ink, until you sink into your crib.”

We’ve done it. We have attempted to tackle the enormity of Only Skin. It took us a long time, but come on, it *should* take a long time to talk about this modern, masterpiece of an epic. I don’t even know how to write this preamble. It’s all just too good. Thank you so much to Alexis and Av for their supportive and insightful contributions. Thank you as well to Rachel Hottle for her incredible (over our heads with its brilliance) essay, “Unconventional Formal Structures and Function in the music of Joanna Newsom”. Thank you, as ALWAYS, to Melissa Marturano and Rachel Parent for the complete genius (and blood, and sweat, and tears) that is Blessing All the Birds. Thank you so much to David Pizarro, aka Peez for his Cosmia beat, which is called “Framed Your Eyes”. David also does all sorts of producing/mastering sorcery on our audio that we would be lost without, so thank you so much, David. And thank you all for listening. Buckle in, because our Only Skin journey is about to get wild. “My sleeping heart woke, and my waking heart spoke.”

It’s the last episode on this gorgeous song. We finish up our discussion of Sawdust & Diamonds. Nikki goes on a wild tangent about Lolita. Thank you so much to everyone who listens! Thank you to David Pizarro for the music (this beat is called “Framed Your Eyes”, and you can find more here: https://m.soundcloud.com/peezismyname ). “Darling, we will be fine, but what was yours and mine appears to me a sandcastle that the gibbering wave takes.”

The penultimate part of our discussion on the gorgeous, moving, earth-shattering Sawdust & Diamonds. Sam is completely brilliant on this episode (and always) so I just also want to thank her for her brains and her sweet heart. Thank you so much, too, to David Pizarro, aka Peez for his beat, “Framed Your Eyes”. Find more of his stuff at www.SoundCloud.com/peezismyname . Thank you, especially, so much to everyone who listens. Email us at [email protected]. “Push me back into a tree. Bind my buttons with salt. Fill my long ears with bees, praying please, please, please, love, you ought not! No, you ought not!”

In our first episode about Sawdust & Diamonds, we talk about big themes throughout the song, the myth of the city of Ys, and a bunch of other stuff. Thanks so much to Jack, Alexis, and Lise for their contributions to today’s episode, and thank you to David Pizarro, aka Peez, for the wonderful music (his beat is called “Framed Your Eyes”). You can check out the rest of his stuff at https://soundcloud.com/peezismyname . Thank you, too, to every single person who listens. “Drop a bell off of the dock. Blot it out in the sea. Drowning mute as a rock; and sounding mutiny.”

We finish up our discussion on Monkey & Bear, and our hearts break a little bit/a whole lot. Thank you so much to Dirick for their Monkey & Bear cover (which we play at the end of the episode) and to David Pizarro for his Cosmia beat (which is called “Framed Your Eyes”). Also, thank you, thank you, thank you to Zak for his really wonderful and insightful voice memo, to Cory and Jack for their write-ins about M&B, to Alexis for her undying support, and to the entirety of Blessing All the Birds for their absolutely incredible analyses. Melissa and Rachel, we are forever indebted to you. The Blessing All the Birds posts about M&B are particularly amazing and people are missing out if they aren’t on top of that. Hope you all enjoy the episode! “If you could hold up her threadbare coat to the light, where it’s worn, translucent in places, you’d see spots where almost every night of the year, bear had been mending, suspending that baseness. Now her coat drags through the water, bagging, with a life’s-worth of hunger, limitless minnows; in the magnetic embrace, balletic and glacial of bear’s insatiable shadow.”

Our second of three parts on Monkey & Bear! What a trip. Thank you all so much for listening. Thank you again to David Pizarro, aka Peez for the music. “When the blackbirds hear tea whistling, they rise and clap, and their applause caws the kettle black, and we can’t have none of that.”

This is the beginning of our long, long discussion (maybe 3 parts?) on Monkey & Bear. We want to thank M.M. Wright, Alexis, Zak, Cody, Av, and Dirick for their wonderful insights, and their apparently unconditional support. Thank you so much. For real. Thank you, too, to David Pizarro, aka Peez for his sick Cosmia beat. And thank you to actually everyone who listens to this. Lastly, thank you SO MUCH to Melissa Marturano and Rachel Parent for the entirety of Blessing All the Birds. “You know that we must unlearn this allegiance to a life of service, and no longer answer to that heartless hay-monger, nor be his accomplice. (That charlatan with artless hustling.)”

In this episode we finish up our discussion on Emily. Thank you so much to Selene for their super insightful voice memo, and thank you to everyone who listens. Music by the super talented David Pizarro, aka Peez. “Peonies nod in the breeze, and while they wetly bow with hydrocephalitic listlessness, ants mop up their brow.”

The inaugural episode of A Hopeless Endeavor. We talk about the first half-ish of “Emily”, and say “totally” a lot. “Let us go though we know it’s a hopeless endeavor!” Music by Peez, aka David Pizarro.

A trailer for our new Joanna Newsom podcast! The first full episode comes out on December 5th. We’re looking forward to hearing all of your theories and interpretations. Music is by David Pizarro, aka Peez.
