I would probably sell out too. And to be fair to the musician, one does have to pay the bills somehow. I would probably sell out too.

You know, because harp music is angelic, like supermodels in push-up bras. To be fair, I think the VS commercial only used instrumental portions of the song.

Shame on you Joanna Newsom! I am extremely grateful that I never had the misfortune of seeing that commercial. I'm trying to rack my brain for what part of the song they could possibly use in a commercial for push up bras... maybe the part that says "should we go outside?" or the part that goes "and as I said, I slept as though dead." There's just a lot of humor to be found there. Ugh! Shame on you Joanna Newsom! I am extremely grateful that I never had the misfortune of seeing that commercial.

Now the song really creeps ME out. I have to say I actually quite liked the soundtrack. Creepy indeed. But, I totally understand having the movie destroy a song that was already liked by you.

Now I can't listen to the Sprout and the Bean without it conjuring up images of weird mumbling faceless murderers. The song just creeps me out now, and I rather liked it before I saw the movie. Entirely aside from that, I thought the movie was thoroughly mediocre. However, I <i>really</i> hold the ruining of the song against the film more than anything. If I thought it was a good movie I could forgive that small offense, but it wasn't, so I can't. I realize that is not at all a logical or rational reason to dislike a film, but who among us is entirely rational in every single decision and situation? Eh, I have my reasons. At least I'm disclosing one of my stupid biases here :-) The Strangers completely ruined a perfectly good Joanna Newsom song for me forever.
