This is a good song from a pretty good album featuring Zooey Deschanel (from his other project, She and Him). Can't remember if he played it at his Dallas DMA show , but enjoy, nonetheless.
So apparently in an effort to prove to us all that she's adorable no matter what she's doing, the gentler half of She & Him has gone and written a jingle for Cotton . That's right. Like the fabric, cotton. And it's the first jingle to ever get a 5-star rating on my itunes. So there. You win, Zooey. You win. Here's the full mp3, which you can also download here .

The Touch, The Feel, The Fabric Of Our Lives... Zooey Dechanel, everyone's favorite aural sweetheart (and she's really easy on the eyes, too) has teamed up with, um, the folks that bring you Cotton. She's appearing in a new TV spot (below) and, the coolest part is, the full version of the song is currently available on The Fabric Of Our Lives' Website (no joke) along with a track by country radio sweetheart Miranda Lambert . If, like me, you find yourself wanting to play [...]

Songs I’ve been listening to lately that have helped in accepting my loneliness: Laura Marling (like Florence , Kate Nash & Natasha Khan ) Handsome Furs (like awesome, Wolf Parade & Sunset Rubdown) I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness (like Film School , Joy Division & music I should have given a chance a long, long time ago) Laura Marling - Ghosts [...]

Filed under: Potent Quotables "[It's] annoying, to be totally blunt. The only similarity that we have is that we look a little bit alike." -- Zooey Deschanel The actress-turned- She and Him songstress is sick of being told she looks like Katy Perry . She added, "I'm happy that she's famous enough now that she's not going out and being mistaken for me." Shame on us . Next Quote [...]
Jenny Lewis has recently released her Summer tour schedule, and we're amped about it. Many indie-music enthusiasts know her as the charming chanteuse of Rilo Kiley; however, any child of late '80s television knew the face well before the voice. Before jamming, Lewis appeared in Jell-O commercials. Before Rabbit Fur Coat, she pushed Girl Scout cookies in Troop Beverly Hills . And before romancing Jonathan Rice, she was on Fred Savage's radar in the 1989 film, The Wizard . All of this reminiscing got us thinking about some [...]

Here's more about Gigantic: *PAUL DANO and ZOOEY DESCHANEL star in the offbeat, surreal love story about the anxiety that arises when two people with crazy families collide. Brian (PAUL DANO) is a mattress store worker who wants to adopt a Chinese baby. When free-spirited Harriet aka "Happy" (ZOOEY DESCHANEL) comes into his store one [...]
Finally we have M Ward back on his own terms. The previously underground lo-fi genius has climbed into the mainstream with the critical acclaim of 2006’s Post-War and notable collaborations with American music glitterati such as Conor Oberst, Jenny Lewis and Zooey Deschanel. His rise from obscurity has been somewhat of a slow ascension in comparison to today’s get guitar/write song/myspace/fame generation but his mission was a labour of love and this is evident in his sixth studio LP Hold Time. “Hold Time” is a slightly less perky affair than his previous albums due [...]

The AOTM for February was honestly much much harder to decide than January's. In JAN, it was just between Antony & The Johnsons or White Lies for us. White Lies was so exciting for us we just had to give it to them. [ ALBUM OF THE MONTH: JAN ] SHORTLISTED ALBUMS: [In Random Order] 1. The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die 2.

A few nights ago, while rotting with a watery Bombay and tonic in the crypt-like back corner of the dreadfully skeevy Lit Lounge, a musician friend went on a small tirade about hearing a feature on M. Ward on public radio that day. Much to my amusement — as this friend doesn't follow "indie" music and claims to be "retarded" when it comes to music blogs; it's rather charming, really — he proceeded to rant about how he had no idea who this guy was, and couldn't understand why he rated so much attention from NPR. Apparently, they'd [...]
This movie could be great. But it could also be terrible. Either way, it's soundtrack is loaded with some great songs including "Sweet Disposition" by Melbourne, Australia's Tempe r Tramp. The singer's crooning falsetto coupled with an echoing guitar riff makes for a Joshua Tree -era U2-like moment in its size and instant accessibility.

There must be something in the water in the Pacific Northwest. Over the last couple of years the region has once again reclaimed the mantle as the epicenter of music cool, cranking out some of the most buzzed about bands around, which includes the likes of Fleet Foxes, Blitzen Trapper, The Decemberists and Blind Pilot. Among the acts that hail from that region that deserves your immediate attention is rootsy-singer-songwriter M. Ward who calls the Rose City his home. Matt (that's what the M stands for) [...]
Wednesday night while I was being wowed by Murder By Death (more on that in a minute), I had two friends separately attending the very sold-out M. Ward show at the Henry Fonda Music Box in Los Angeles. In between enthusiastic texts telling me about how awesome the show was, these two friends who hadn't yet met tried to find each other to say hello, with me as an intermediary. "tell her i have close-cropped hair, a goatee, and a black jacket," he helpfully supplied. "that is EVERY GUY HERE," [...]

We've long become accustomed to laughing at "actors who sing" - from Kevin Bacon to Scarlett Johansson , they've made it easy for us. Still, there is hope for the modern renaissance man: stars like Zooey Deschanel have proven that sometimes the music transcends the persona. Enter Adam Goldberg 's new project, LANDy . The actor/filmmaker (you may remember him from 2 Days in Paris and more notably, Dazed and Confused ) worked with Earlimart 's Aaron [...]

A while back I posted the teaser trailer for the indie love-story 500 Days of Summer . The film is directed by Marc Webb and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a greeting card writer who falls for a young woman (Zooey Deschanel) and ends up having to deal with the subsequent break-up. The teaser, despite the horrid voice-over narration, had me hooked from the very first viewing, while The Temper Trap song, "Sweet Disposition" worked very well with the trailer. A full-length trailer has been released, and it may seem [...]
