Joanna Newsom Interview - The Harp, Literature & Happiness

[Kukident1]

i like how she talks about vibrations

[pogie516744]

nice interview......more please.

[WardBasil]

Is Werner Herzog giving the interview?

[ChadOnTheNet]

@WardBasil hahaha oh man he sounds just like him good observation my friend.

[ashburnhouse]

She gives me a passionate erection?

[Kivalt]

@ashburnhouse Is that a rhetorical question?

[CaptainSandwitch]

Her voice is so normal!



[gallezzo]

she's nuts



[CloudX100]

I was expecting her to have a more high-pitched voice... but it's actually a little raspy and deep. Wonderful lady! :)

[spellofsunshine]

Even thought her voice isn't the same as the way she sings(did you really think if would be so drastic?), you can still hear a bit of the sound she uses when she sings.

[oliviadesalvo]

she has great posture

[sgtmcwallace]

she is cool



[t3hpez]

she's changed so much over the years

[kaylalalajayy]

and she was compatible with andy samberg? this intrigues me... let us compare "sprout and the bean" to "dick in a box" lolol, I feel a collab coming on.

[rockel1986]

Her talking voice completely doesn't match her singing voice. Not a bad thing, just surprising to someone who's never heard her speak before.

[xachekoi]

MoA, please come back!!! TT__TT

[alvids333]

i wanted to hear her speak so bad, NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

[tcoreyb]

I love her

[bacholerno2]

I'm always surprised when I hear her regular speaking voice...

[cadrifting]

@bacholerno2 As am I. Its so deep and sexy whereas her singing voice is very high pitch and sexy. Nonetheless I am head over heals for this person.

[ReebsRae]

@bacholerno2 She is very awkward and has a hard time communicating with humans.

[thecottingleyfairy]

i can't believe she's going out with andy samberg ahahah

[kraMarks]

Here Here.

[DonSulis]

Check out the big brain on Joanna!

[jacob7207]

Definitely sounds Californian.

[PorroFirst]

Is she in Helsinki? No.. I just wanted to promote Helsinki.

[VioletGrubs]

I just watched this so I could hear her voice she wasn't singing.

[LennLucky]

Joanna, if you read this, MARRY ME! Seriously! Leonard Vandijk from the Netherlands. We are perfect for eachother (although I have no talent and am kind of ugly) Give me a call

[Hustis1]

I wish iwere hernest hemmingway

[buttercupdelirium]

@lovegoestolove Oh my god that's the first thing I thought of too. The voice does sound a bit similar...I must find out who the interviewer was!!

[LKRaider]

All the struggle and breakthroughs in scientific development throughout the eras, so we can finally, one day, clone one Joanna Newsom for every person on the planet.

[BloodyCatastrophee]

awesome. =)

[xnophloglas]

@horseloverfatjr pretty sure that's none of your goddamn business...go comment on some porn.

[horseloverfatjr]

@xnophloglas Jeez, someone seems upset. Does your vagina hurt?

[xnophloglas]

@horseloverfatjr oops, i didn't realize i was addressing a mouthy seventh grader. here's a tip, young lad: your juvenile and lecherous speculations regarding this beautiful, intelligent and uniquely expressive person are your own, and you would be doing everyone (including you) a big favor by keeping them to yourself. objectifying women will cause you to be seen as an asshole and a creep, so you might not want to keep broadcasting your disrespect. you are dismissed.

[calvinfan94]

@xnophloglas do you ever come back to your youtube comments and feel like a fucking idiot? "you are dismissed"? are you living out a fantasy on the internet where you're important? online argument is the new low, just be the better man.

[xnophloglas]

@calvinfan94 To answer your questions, no. I don't usually go back and read my own comments, but I stand by what I said. I chose to call someone out for being vulgar and childishly disrespectful toward someone I respect, and that's the prerogative of any youtube user. While I see your point about not stooping to online argument, I don't see how your comment demonstrates this any better than mine. let's drop it now, shall we? there's too much good music to listen to.

[nicklikestubey]

I've only ever heard her sing, so I'm surprised by her speaking voice. She's so gorgeous.

[ISawLifeTwice]

Dude,she's so pretty.

Like,she wore those earing in a Baby Birch performance.

Gah,whens her next album!?

[wayfaringstoner]

she needs me in her life.

[nacholizalde]

lol



[LittleMissStylist]

I have the same dress!!!!

I Just Bought Him In H&M.

[jankuiper3422]

Look it's an intelligent life form! rare species

[TheChesherCat]

I just wish I could wake up next to her every morning..

[bludg30n]

she said, "syntax"... <3

[alexb543]

@bludg30n syntactic

[psychopathtoine]

Mpost of her songs are long, but i wish they would be even longer!!

[letsdothisnow101]

I think I'm in love with her. Shes fucking beautiful.

[4thwonder]

why does she seem like a different person in every interview?

[Verichai]

@4thwonder That's what I want to know! Here, she seems so grounded and lucid. In other interviews, she has that definite creative abstract floating vibe. And not just in interviews, every live performance is so different. She is a chameleon of beauty.

[wooboy11]

@Verichai Different drugs give different personalities to someone.

Nah, just kidding, she is the bomb.

[WhoopMQ]

@4thwonder Most of the interviews on youtube are years apart from each other

[skippyxpeanutbutter]

i always pictured her with an accent for some reason.

[apedosmi1]

@skippyxpeanutbutter She does have an accent. Everyone has an accent. Why do Americans never get this?

[blinkguy895]

is she being interviewed by Werner Herzog?

[ThePeacefulSkye]

She's so intelligent :D

[slopPylessOns]

you can Hit it all day joanna newsom.... play me like an instrument. damn, i love that girl.

[slithygogs]

when we see someone as neat as joanna, i think we’re tempted to put her on a pedestal of glory… which is easy to do. let's face it, she's righteous! but here’s my two cents to say you guys are each capable of such awesomeness. let her be a reminder not only of how talented she is, but how each of us can add something to humanity's repetoire. go find your passions!

[breerosa100]

@slithygogs wonderful comment

[candlelocks]

@slithygogs Jag älskar dig.

[chelseamuse72]

This interviewer is very good - interesting questions, respectful listening. And with Joanna, you get wonderful conversation.

[scolopede]

She's supposed to be going out with me right now. Who is this guy .....Andy Samberg?, what a blocker! What? huh, huh, what, what, huh, huh? LOL! Seriously, I really like some of her songs. Some ....."no", others sound great to me, new ground imo.

[xOxCrapWeaselxOx]

@scolopede LOL

[CanvasCartoons]

For whatever reason, I did not expect her to look like this...

Cool.

[JamilAlexandre1]

does she only read the dictionary in her free time?? she has a stroong vocab

[SweetPurpleOlive]

The other interview is VERY different...

[PleadThaFizif]

Andy Samberg is a lucky MFer

[supasta3]

omg i love her!

[Jokkipy]

There really should be more musicians like this in the world.

[malikismyname]

PLEASE UPLOAD A SMOOTER VERSION, IF POSSIBLE :-)

[MrMusic206]

I knew her when i was little, I grew up with her, she was baby sat by my aunt, I remember, in California, crazy how time flies..

[AdventurousPutty]

@MrMusic206 Was she always a freaking genius?

[KashaKiller1]

she seems very grown up compared to her first video and cd.

[meadowjump]

I just really need to see her live.

[312fearLess]

is she dating andy samberg?

[knoxrox167]

its really hard for me to imagine such an average sounding voice as that amazing voice in Peach Plum Pear

[eowyn0206]

linduxa

[eowyn0206]

linda!!



[PFieroGT87]

my god... shes beautiful.

[cora2496]

she is really pretty and her whem she talks its pretty but why is her voice so werid when she sings... and she is good at the harp

[guywhoonlycomments]

@cora2496 Because she is the most incredible Woman artist of our generation :)

[whatwehaveknown]

@guywhoonlycomments Agreed <3



[JessTheMess99]

The more I watch her and hear her speak with such intelligence, the prettier she gets.

[teaClocks]

The interviewer sounds like Werner Herzog.

[perenellette]

how did she go from that: youtube.com/watch?v=VcsBGR9uHm­c , to this?

[Kaniki80]

@perenellette Wow! I was thinking the same thing. It's like two different people.

[sukafubi13]

Shes soo smart! And beautiful ;)

[12345blondie]

she's so gorgeous.. and I love how she speaks. she has really good word choice

[TheRyanduranduran]

wow she is so beautiful. :)

[rangu66]

@Bobloblawwww Loser go post that garbage on a hip-hop video

[rangu66]

@Bobloblawwww Oh and by the way I presume you don't know this about women considering how immature you are, women's vagina doesn't get wet unless their sexually aroused and I bet you all of the money in the world that she'd be pretty turned off by you

[12345blondie]

@rangu66

it also gets wet whenever we pee.

[IHopeYouDIY]

@12345blondie

[stratton00]

Is that freakin Werner Herzog doing the interview?!?!?

[aflickering]

@stratton00 i think i spot a sniper in the background

[DoctorBenway101]

@stratton00 Holy shit... It does sound like Herzog.

[koojean]

i like how she dresses

[AdventurousPutty]

2:39 -- I'd let her "change the fingering" as much as she wants.

...God that was a horrible joke. Fantastic interview, though; I wish there was a video of the whole thing.

[jaggysnake57]

@AdventurousPutty oh my god thats actually hilarious

[flores936]

Fuck she is hot i would bust one on her face and fuck her hard

[coolangel834]

@flores936 Um...can you please not talk about her like that?

[flores936]

@coolangel834 y not she is fucking hot

[coolangel834]

@flores936 Yeah but i don't think she's that type of girl who wants someone to "bust one on her face and fuck her hard"

[CAYOMluver]

@coolangel834 You never know, hormones are hormones hehe

[philipsmog]

@flores936 in that order?

[superdudley100]

The german guy's grasp of english was most definitely tested the day he interviewed Joanna.

[TheOdderOne]

The crush intensifies.

[Gloryboys17]

@TheOdderOne You're damn straight it intensifies

[alishalmorgan]

<3 I love Joanna.

[estebaneeezy]

This is one I haven't seen yet. haha. Oh...how I love her. I really love her.

[Erukantan]

Gotta be really careful not to fall for her x.x.

That aside she does make a solid point.

[SrNetsWalker]

Thanks for the video PEAHPLUMPEARIFFIC1 : ) !!

[mcneithan]

Thank you for this video!

[underlinedluke]

I wish there were more interviews on video or audio available with her.

[JansRox]

OMG she is gorgeous....  the other part we just know.

[Madzho89]

@JansRox lol...i think we know about that part to
