Did you know Hugh Laurie just recorded a blues album? Cos he did. Check it out: I'm listening to it now and it's really pretty good, actually. It makes sense, since Laurie's always been a pretty solid musician-see: his awesome songs during the Fry & Laurie days. But it's making me think of other actors that have had successful forays into the world of recorded music. I figured I'd share a couple, yeah? Rick Moranis - The Agoraphobic Cowboy Dude is not exactly on the list of [...]

Don't let the fact that she's a famous actress put you off because Zooey Deschanel is well able to belt them out (she is married to Ben Gibbard of Death Cab so she knows how the R&R game works). In a countrified way if I may add, which in some ways gives her the edge over her contemporaries by the fact that she sounds different ( Tamar Kamin is close though). On the other side is Matt Ward (M. Ward), he is the one that tinkers with the music in the background, taking what Deschanel has written and turning [...]
The last music video She & Him made was for the pleasant "In the Sun". Befitting of such a cutesy song, it revolved around hula hooping in a school gymnasium. So, when the twosome's first video release for "Why Do You Put Me on a Shelf" appeared on my TV screen, I thought I was in for more of the same. After all, the clip starts innocently enough; with singer Zooey Deschanel surrounded by Disney-like...

Link: http://www.billboard.com/news/ justin-bieber-tops-billboard-2 00-with-my-1004079496 She & Him is a musical band that consists of Zooey Deschanel and M Ward. Even though I have never found their music to be 'good', they apparently have a fan base. They 'debuted' at #6 on the Billboard charts. Grizzly Bear once charted at #6. Remember when Vampire Weekend debuted at #1? The final new arrival in the top 10 this week belongs to She & Him with its second album, fittingly titled "Volume Two." It starts at No. 6 [...]

Em 2007 e 2008, o mundo da música foi invadido por uma onda de extrema fofurice no Reino Unido, tendo como principais representantes Kate Nash e Lily Allen , que faziam sair cubos de açúcar de nossos fones de ouvido com um certo sarcamo nas letras. O Mundo-Fofura começou a mudar de local depois que a sósia de Lily Allen e seus beijos lésbicos explodiu nos EUA.Apesar de a voz e letras não tão melosas, serviu de ponto de partida para o surgimento de cantores um pouco acima do peso e com vestuário bem parecido [...]
These are the first five albums in my countdown of my favourite albums of 2008. I might've written a bit much and rambled a bit too, but that's because I never had the chance to review these records in the first place.#25: SHE & HIM - Volume OneShe & Him, the collaboration between actress Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, is one that I never thought I would really be all that interested in. Then,
Many people find it hard to tell the great from the godawful when it comes to 21st-century mainstream rock. To help figure out which is which, here's "Corporate Rock Still Sells," where Al "GovernmentNames" Shipley examines what's good, bad, and ugly in the world of rock and roll. This time around, he holds a few recent blog-rock darlings up to the harsh light of commercial rock radio, and judges their potential for success: In my last two columns, commenters asked me to rate [...]
Quand une actrice rencontre un musicien , qu'est-qu'il se racontent ? On n'en sait rien. Peut-être des histoires de comédies musicales, des histoires de bandes originales... Peut-être se rappellent-ils avoir vu Blanche-Neige étant enfants, et leur peur de la sorcière... Peut-être se souviennent-ils de Jerry dansant avec Gene Kelly dans " Anchors Aweigh " (étrangement devenu " Escale à Hollywood " en France)... Ou peut-être l'envie de faire un disque ensemble arrive, tout simplement. C'est ce que ces deux-là [...]
We've been listening to She & Him's album in the office for a while now, but I only just got around to checking out the video for "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?".
