Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , Free MP3 Download of the Day Getty Images The 2012 SXSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas kicks off March 13.

Long week, no? Even Robin Pecknold had it rough . And word is there's yet another redundant, mostly ornamental awards show scheduled for this weekend, one that somehow left Drive off of its top 10 Best Picture shortlist. Well, not to steal your thunder or anything Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, but we've got a top 10 list of our own lined up. And while it doesn't include a Nicolas Winding Refn film, it does include great new tunage from ____, Rufus Wainwright and Gorillaz/André 3000/James Murphy(!!!). Suck on that, Oscar. -Möhammad Choudhery [...]

A nice new tune from M. Ward. I love the more upbeat side of M. Wards catalog, if you can even call it that. This is a fun song to listen to, has a pretty catchy traditional folk-rock rythym, and is overall pretty simple. However, M. Ward doesn't really have to do much to sound great, at least that's the way it seems. M. Ward - Primitive Girl (Single Version) by MergeRecords

M. Ward is back! Free of Zooey and his Bright Eyes co-conspirators, his new album, A Wasteland Companion, comes to us in April. A jaunty contrast to "The First Time I Ran Away," the album's sleepy first single, "Primitive Girl" shows off Ward's versatility with a sound strikingly reminiscent of James' iconic 1993 hit, "Laid." Enjoy the playful ode to a mysterious primordial dame below. STREAM: M. Ward - "Primitive Girl"

Earlier this week, M. Ward posted the first single - "Primitive Girl" - off of his forthcoming album A Wasteland Companion . The album, which is out April 10th on Merge and marks M. Ward's first album since 20092s Hold Time , entered the public sphere earlier this year with the release of the beautiful video for "The First Time I Ran Away" (seen below). In contrast to that song, "Primitive Girl" seems to carry forward the fuller sound of Hold Time , eschewing the sparseness that characterized so many of [...]
