Joanna Newsom's performance of Have One On Me at Austin City Limits

Fleet Foxes played before her, and you don't need me to tell you they're great too. But I think this is a really spectacular performance of one of my favourite songs of hers. Her set starts with Bridges and Balloons at 28:27, and Have One On Me starts at 33:10. She wraps it up with Good Intentions Paving Company, at 43:55. We get a good look at her amazing Rodarte dress during this song. This dress is seriously incredible - east Asian spiritual/militant meets east European beer girl - and I'd like to take this moment to bow to Joanna for wearing the offbeat, seamwork-laden designer pieces she performs in, because they so deserve each other and make us happy.

Watch Fleet Foxes / Joanna Newsom on PBS. See more from Austin City Limits.


When the trombone enters the hoo-hoos near the end... *sigh*

I'm sorry because I know this video is gonna disappear within a month or two, but if I can find a more permanent fixture of it somewhere else, I'll try to update it :)
