2 + 2 = 6

So, if you're lucky (or maybe it's more about me being lucky), I will be introducing you to not one, not two, but three great musical experiences today.  Two semi-obscure, but excellent, musicians have recently paired up to form a super duo.  And if you aren't yet familiar with either of them, then a whole world of music is about to be opened unto you.

The first musician is a woman named Thao Nguyen.  She's been around for a while and she is awesome, so you probably already know her.  But if not, here's a song of her's:



The second musician is Mirah.  A little more mellow than Thao, and also a little less well known, she is still great.  I love her voice, which, while essentially sounding similar to pretty much every other female singer/songwriter out there, somehow it's still incredibly unique.  Here's one of her songs:



And finally, a couple weeks ago they joined forced to become Thao + Mirah, and released a joint album that is, frankly, amazing.  I love the combination, which somehow seems to exceed the sum of its parts.  Here are a couple songs for your enjoyment:
