Lonely Island front man and best friend of Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg, and his musician girlfriend of five years, Joanna Newsom, are engaged. Us Weekly got quotes from some of Samberg and Newsom's friends saying, "He liked her music and would go to her shows. He had the biggest crush on her." That's all you need to do, if you have a crush on a female musician, just go to her shows and then you'll fall in love and get engaged. Easy. Here's a Joanna Newsom performance from Later, With Jools [...]

American harpist and singer, Joanna Newsom has announced her engagement to Saturday Night Live/The Lonely Island comedian Andy Samberg . The pair have been dating for five years and made the announcement at the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday, where Newsom was seen with an engagement ring. Newsom, 31, and Samberg, 34, have not yet set a date for their wedding. Joanna Newsom's last album, entitled Have One On Me , came out back in 2010.
Everyone enjoy this moment, since we may never again get to see Joanna Newsom's name on the Us Weekly website . According to that venerable institution, Newsom and her boyfriend of five years, SNL vet and Lonely Island lead Andy Samberg, are engaged. Us Weekly also has a bunch of quotes from an anonymous friend who's apparently delighted to discuss the particulars of their relationship: "He liked her music and would go to her shows. He had the biggest crush on her." Stars: They're just like us! That same source also [...]

Music's most "Well, I-I'm just glad you're happy" couple are soon to be married. Consummate harpist and songwriter Joanna Newsom and Lonely Island member/former SNL actor Andy Samberg have just gotten engaged, according to Us Weekly . The cognitively dissonant couple have been dating for five years, unfortunately with nary a musical collaboration between the two. In non-matrimonial news, Newsom teased a new song at some live gigs last year, her first new solo material since her 2010 album, Have One On Me. That triple album featured [...]

Thao Nguyen’s break from music brings out her very best. Domino Recording Co. , 2013 8.0 / 10 I love the basic premise that Thao Nguyen and producer John Congleton came up with for We The Common. Congleton suggested recording a party where you get to the [...]

San Francisco folk-rocker Thao Nguyen and her band The Get Down Stay Down have a sparkly new album by the name of We the Common , out February 5th. We've already heard some early tracks, " We the Common (for Valerie Bolden) " and " Holy Roller ," but the latest to surface is a much-anticipated collaboration with freak-folk wunderkind Joanna Newsom (who also dwelled in the Bay Area for a time, little-known tidbit). The clip-clop acoustic tune, "Kindness be Conceived," is simplistic, lighthearted, and gorgeously harmonized (the combination of their voices is almost Feist-esque). The track seems to [...]
Here we have some pretty charming alternative folk music brought to you from Portland based group Thao & The Get Down Stay Down. The track is cut down to its bare minimum in terms of musicianship making the primary focus vocal harmony between Thao Nguyen and Joanna Newsom. It's a pretty grand harmony at that, both vocalists have a lovely high singing voice that at many times seem to match and become one. Although, it is pretty clear that Joanna has the more powerful voice of the two and therefore shine, but altogether this is a very pretty [...]

Thao & the Get Down Stay Down are back with a new record after almost four years. We the Common will be released in the US on February 5, and we the fans couldn't be happier! Three tracks have been released thus far from the new record, the most recent a duet with none other than folk queen Joanna Newsom .

Portland indie pop outfit Thao & The Get Down Stay Down team up with singer-songwriter/ill harpist Joanna Newsom on the charming, folk-leaning "Kindness Conceived".

We The Common comes out on February 5th via Ribbon Music. Stream its semi-title track "We The Common (For Valerie Bolden)" here .
"Kindness Be Conceived" has the feel of song you'd hear performed by a band of friends in country store somewhere off in the foothills of the mountains. For this one, Thao Nguyen and friends have invited Joanna Newsom to the stage to help with the singing, and they do the whole song as a beautifully clear duet. The song is off Thao and the Get Down Stay Down's second LP, We the Common , which is due out February 5 on Ribbon Music. Check it out below. [...]
