Scarlett Johansson y Zooey Deschannel, dos buenas actrices jóvenes, andan coqueteando con el mundo de la música, concretamente con el indie. Scarlett acaba de sacar "Anywhere I Lay My Head" un disco de versiones de Tom Waits, producido por el batería de TV on the radio y que recuerda al sonido de Lush, Cocteau Twins o Galaxie 500: Distorsión, en contraste con melodías e instrumentos agradables (

If I've said it once, I'll say it again. Actors and actresses attempting musical ventures are bound to fail 95% of the time. In recent memory, the only worthwhile celebrity-related musical project has been She & Him, Zooey Deschanel's collaboration with M.Ward. On May 20th we get "Anywhere I Lay My Head," the album by Scarlett Johansson filled with Tom Waits covers. One can't help but wonder if her recent engagement to Ryan Reynolds, which got her headlines, may have been a calculated move to start generating press for this album. Whatever it is, people are talking about this album [...]

As promised, I'm back with some good stuff. The first of a two-parter, here are five artists with noteworthy new music out now or coming soon. First and foremost, Santogold has just released her excellent self-titled debut album. Often compared to M.I.A., Santogold is like a more restrained, streamlined version of the singer. Santogold is already up there with my favorite new albums of the year after only a few initial listens. Also check out her collaboration with Mark Ronson on a cover of "Pretty Green." Next up, check out some Kleerup tracks doing [...]
Who: Death Cab for Cutie Title: Narrow Stairs Label: Atlantic Records Release Date: May 12th Thoughts: We've had a few false starts with the whole Death Cab for Cutie leak, but now it's finally hit a week before it's actually released. Without doubt this is actually Death Cab for Cutie. The production is vintage Death Cab, the vocals are undoubtedly Ben Gibbard, and it continues the downward

That's Scarlett Johansson for those who have not grown accustomed to her face. Just heard a track from the Danish-American actress turned songstress, in which legendary David Bowie lends his vocal prowess. Follow the DAVID BOWIE CIRCLE OF DEATH (with mp3s!) after the jump: David Bowie, legendary glam-rocker... ...lent his vocals to modern rock group TV on [...]

I know the rest of the cover bloggers are vehemently against this post but I believe all these artists are multi-talented and deserve any recognition than can get. I mean it's not like I'm posting about Britney Spears here. Recently Fong Songs did a wonderful post on Zooey Deschanel which got me thinking about all the actors/musicians out there. Some of these multi-talented celebrities have opted for music over acting but some have managed to keep both going strong. So to start off we'll go with Zooey Deschanel . Zooey is best known [...]

I posted about Anywhere I Lay My Head , Scarlett Johansson's forthcoming album of Tom Waits covers a while back. Now there's an official website with clips from all of the songs, Spinner has posted an 'exclusive' of her version of Falling Down and I've also found an MP3 of the title track (available below). Having heard her rendition of Summertime I'd expected something predictably jazzy. Instead, with producer David Sitek ( TV on the Radio ), she's taken the surprising decision to do a sort of electro-pop number [...]

Playlist du 13 mars au 20 mars... Une "RIOT RADIO" moins dense que les semaines précédentes... mais qui permettra de (re)découvrir le dernier titre des NOTWIST, les balades de THAO NGUYEN, de COCOON (duo folkeux et Clermontois) et de MICKY GREEN... De faire un virage dans les basses lourdes avec les B52's (en attendant leur prochain album en avril 08) et DEVO... De partir pour la pop des paysans gallois de LOS CAMPESINOS et celle des Texans de OKKERVIL River... De revenir sautiller avec les FOALS d'Oxford et danser à Paris avec nos brillants PONI HOAX... De [...]

There's been talk of late around the music Blogosphere about posting tunes that you don't like. I feel there's three levels of bad - untalented crap, uninspired pap and bad so *bad* that it rises above its ineptitude and transcends into something memorable. Scarlett Johansson has talent - she isn't awful, it's just that she's not outstanding. If she wasn't an actress, she'd never get to record an album. For me, she's taking up space that would be better allotted to one of the numerous outstanding artists waiting for their chance. It was just announced her new Tom [...]

In the new issue of Vogue, Scarlett Johansson shows herself to be a classy woman. The photos are so artistic and beautiful, its good to see that a girl doesnt have to bare anything to still look breath-takingly beautiful. -Click here - Previously: Scarlett Johansson In Esquire Tags: scarlett+johansson , vogue , magazine ,
Schon wieder etwas, was man als längst überwunden geglaubt hatte. Das überlange Musikvideo. Nach Michael Jacksons Thriller , Guns'n'Roses Don't Cry jetzt in diesem Jahrhundert: Justin Timberlakes Edelschmonzette "What Goes Around...Comes Around" mit Scarlett Johansson. Ein echter Kurzfilm mit allem, was dazu gehört: Eine neo 40er-Jahre Atmosphäre, die perfekt zu Johansonns Frisur modeliert wurde, Romantik, heftige 4-Letter-Word Schreiereien, wilde Verfolgungsjagden, spektakuläre Crashs... Irgendwie... nicht schlecht. Liegt aber wahrscheinlich nur an Scarlett Johannson. Videoclip nach dem Jump. (more...) Justin Timberlake , [...]
