Portland indie hero and singer-songwriter M. Ward will make his first visit to India this March, to support the multiple Grammy award-winning songstress Norah Jones on her tour of the country. In addition to playing A Summer's Day festival in Mumbai on March 3, Ward will play shows in New Delhi on March 5, and Bangalore on March 8. Apart from being a solo musician with eight full-length albums to his credit (most recently, 20122s critically-acclaimed A Wasteland Companion ), Ward is also one half of indie pop and folk duo She & Him [...]
Once an artist has released a few albums of pure gold, those albums that get an easy 100 plays, they have a nasty habit of plummeting downhill faster than Bode Miller on PCP. Very few bands manage to keep up a level of quality that sets them apart from their peers, and almost all disappear back into the gloom and mire and a possible 2015 reunion tour, remembered by a few loyal fans and few others. The first sign is normally an album that just seems listless, lifeless, lacking in energy and vim and verve and other lively [...]

Hi! My name is Matt. And if I could, I'd like to keep with the spirit of my mid-year list, taking you to a worry-free dance hall, where there are plenty of beers and sausages, and all the people that you'd love to see and chat with. I'll play some songs, and you can perform your [...]
Just when you thought that Zooey Deschanel couldn't be anymore adorable, they went ahead and turned her into a cartoon in order to create a music video for She & Him's take on the holiday classic Baby, It's Cold Outside from last year's A Very She & Him Christmas . Both Zooey and Matt get the animated treatment in this vintage looking clip that has Zooey going to Kathy Bates in Misery length extremes to keep Matt inside with her on a snowy winter's day. Let's check it out... [...]
She & Him spread Christmas cheer She & Him, the duo of actress (part-time singer) Zooey Deschanel and indie singer/songwriter M. Ward, have shown an appreciation for Christmas in the past. They made an awful album celebrating the holiday just last year. Now the duo have released an animated video for their cover [...]

This six-piece from Charleston, South Carolina does a mighty fine job of channeling the Beach Boys (with a hint of the Ruby Suns mixed in). They have a great "vintage California sound" that always seems to brighten up my day. ♩ The Explorers Club - Run Run Run [from Grand Hotel ] web // facebook // twitter // soundcloud // shows // iTunes It's been three years since Edward Droste and company [...]
I am far from in the Christmas spirit but things like this help me get there little by little. It's a video from She & Him for their track "Baby, It's Cold Outside" which featured on last year's A Very She & Him Christmas. The video sees an animated Zooey getting all hot and flustered in a winter cabin over band mate M. Ward. Check it out above.

She & Him - Zooey Deschanel (She) & M. Ward (Him) have premiered a sweet little animated video on VEVO for their holiday song "Baby, It's Cold Outside," one of the 12 songs featured on their Christmas album, A Very She & Him Christmas (Merge Records). Directed by Elliot Dear , the video plays off the back and forth vocals of the song, which is destined to be a new holiday favorite. She & Him - [...]
Seguimos con la euforia navideña y en esta ocasión la bella y talentosa Zooey Deschanel y el multifacético M Ward, nos han entregado un regalo ad hoc para las fechas que vivimos en estos momentos. A pesar de que la canción elegida para este video ya tiene más de un año de haber salido, ellos [...]
Nuevo video de She & Him ¿Recuerdan el disco navideño que She & Him lanzó el año pasado? Pues ahora el dúo regresa con un video animado para una de las canciones que ahí aparecen. Se trata de "Baby, It's Cold Outside" , donde el personaje animado de M. Ward intenta escapar de las garras de la chica animada que representa a Zooey Deschanel . Véanlo a continuación.

Zooey Deschanel came in at No. 7 on the list of Your Top 20 Indie Rock Crushes Of 2012 , probably the most hotly debated of any Gummy Awards category this year. And based on the comments I read, Deschanel was the most divisive figure on that list. I guess I can see why: She's got this cloying, precious, twee thing going on - plus Ben Gibbard - but man, I'm deep into a New Girl marathon, and after refusing to watch that show for a season and a half, I'm all of a sudden [...]

It's a big day for Zooey Deschanel . In addition to finalizing her divorce with Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard , she gets animated and lusts over fellow She & Him partner M. Ward . In the duo's new video for "Baby, It's Cold Outside", one of the spry tracks off last year's A Very She & Him Christmas , things get literal and tensions run wild. Let's just say, Homer Simpson, Peter Griffin, or Randy Marsh would be wise to find this cabin immediately - for the wine people, [...]

Filed under: News , News Today, Oh Boy! Gino DePinto, AOL Shirtless wonder Iggy Pop and pop's filthiest star, Ke$ha , have released a track together. "Dirty Love" isn't terrible, but it certainly is odd. [ Freshplay ] Andrew W.K. has been named Cultural Ambassador to Bahrain by the U.S. Dept. of State. Holy crap, what does this mean? [ Gawker ]

Western Rock is not everyone's cup of tea. There are very few people who could come off as cool as Johnny Cash and be respected for crossing the boundaries. Now I'm not stating that M. Ward is as good as Cash or that he can do that often with his work, but mad respect for the track, " Watch The Show ". The song is something that would be used in a David Lynch movie, while the main character is driving through the desert focused on that metaphorical, unattained, [...]

Giving thanks is a reflective process, not a reflexive one - which is to say, considering all that could have been is a necessary precursor to accepting that what we have, and what we are, is worthy of our gratitude. All good things we acknowledge, then, come at the emotional cost of recognition: both that we could have ended up with less or more, and that others may not be as fortunate. Hard times come, in space and time alike; that we are here, to celebrate and stand in awe of what [...]

El otro día me disponía a reseñar el último disco de Brian Eno , Lux (2012), pero a la mera hora me entró un “no se que” y lo tuve que posponer indefinidamente. Me comencé a plantear preguntas existenciales como: ¿Estaré capacitado para criticar a una autoridad como Brian Eno? Escribir sobre el trabajo de otros y que tus palabras pretendan llegar a alguien es cosa seria. Realmente yo no me considero crítico, a pesar que ejerzo el oficio desde hace años. Más bien creo que soy algo así como un melómano entrometido que se [...]

Editor's note (Allan): This post was completed in 2010 and was kept private out of error. 2009 was kind of a shit year in terms of my ability to catch up with current music. It was a year of listening to old favourites, staring blankly at iTunes expecting something to change---now I don't know what is to blame; my inability to keep up at the lightning speed changes of this ridiculously technologically inclined era of music bloggers, or the ongoing power struggle for download bandwidth that was ultimately won by porn over music, or the fact [...]
