I saw the film Greenberg the other day. There's a scene in which Roger Greenberg (played by Ben Stiller) is talking to his younger would-be paramour, Florence (Greta Gerwig). He puts Albert Hammond's "It Never Rains in Southern California" on the stereo and says something to the effect of, "You have to overlook the kitsch." Greta responds vaguely, not recognizing the song. But I also wondered whether she'd even know the meaning of kitsch. After all, what is kitsch anymore, and does it even exist? At its core, kitsch feels like something less than art; [...]

Fecha a boca, Dezão. Não poderia deixar de fazer um post com She & Him, dupla composta por M. Ward e Zooey Deschanel, a celebridade indie da moda (com todo merecimento, by the way). O primeiro disco deles, "Volume One", saiu em 2008. Agora, dia 23 de março, eles lançam o segundo disco. O tíluto? Adivinhem! "Volume Two", é claro. A música mais badalada é "In the Sun", um indie pop mesclado com folk bem açucarado, desses que sua namorada vai adorar. Mas, como os marmanjos querem mesmo é ver a atriz de "500 Dias Com Ela" em [...]

She and Him's new video for their single In the Sun almost makes me forget how cold Zooey was in 500 Days of Summer and how boring she was on Top Chef. M.ward, you're still cool. Hopefully she continues her acting range in music videos, and no longer feels the itch to go on the big screen. Then I could totally forget 500 days of Summer happened, and go back to loving She and Him all the time. Will this glee-tastic video help heal your 500 days of summer wounds? [...]

She & Him - In the Sun (music video) The new high school-themed video for the first single from She & Him's Volume 2 . -MW
The newest project from actress Zooey Deschanel and musician M. Ward is set to be released March 23rd. It will be the second release from the duo that call themselves She & Him and is fittingly titled Volume Two. You may remember how much I liked Volume One . This is the video for the first single from the new album, and it already has me smiling. The bouncy retro innocence that I found so captivating on the [...]
So the music video is out! Z is awfulling cute dancing around!
On March 23rd, our favorite actress and singer-songwriter music act - She & Him - will release their sophomore album Volume Two . The album features a mix of Deschanel-penned originals, along couple of deep covers from NRBQ and Skeeter Davis all tied together by M. Ward's sepia-drenched production. Here's the video for the album's first single - In The Sun... She & Him - In The Sun
This is just so overly cutesy-wanna-be-glee-ish, I'm officially now over She & Him.
Even though Zooey is just so precious, I was a bit weirded out watching the music video for " In The Sun " by her band She & Him . In this High School Musical/ Glee themed video she skips around a high school, dances with a group of dancers behind her and hula hoops as she tries to grab Matt Ward's attention...and she's way too happy doing it all. The song doesn't really seem to match the video. But we still love her anyways.
Love Zooey. This video is sweet. She & Him's "Volume Two" is out on April 2nd. Directed by Peyton Reed (who directed "Yes Man").

Zooey Deschanel is in a band called She & Him with some bro named M Ward. For some reason, they have indie credibility, I think because she has cute bangs, and because she is married to the Prince of Indie Music, Benjamin Gibbard. In She & Him's video for "In the Sun", you can tell that they are jonesing for mainstream traction. They utilized several different visual gimmicks to attempt to subconsciously appeal to the mainstream music fan. Even though the song itself is sorta honky and her voice is 'interesting' in a way that you [...]

Could She & Him get any more adorable? She & Him - In The Sun She & Him - Gonna Get Along Without You Now She & Him - Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want

The fist video off the upcoming She and Him Volume Two features Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward going back to school and hits about a nine on the 'that's frick'n adorable' scale. I enjoyed Volume One , but I wouldn't say I was addicted. After listening to "In the Sun" and "Thieves" I have to say I'm dying to hear the rest of the album (out March 23 via Merge ). Sure [...]
check out the brand new video for the lead single, in the sun , from she & him's upcoming sophomore album "volume 2," an absolutely lovely high-school-musical-inspired romp through the halls of a public high school (think: hoola hooping in gym class, dancing around the overhead projector, climbing onto library tables, etc). zooey is, quite frankly, a goddess. "volume 23 drops march 23rd on merge records. it's hard 2 be ignored.

That fantastically clever picture above is the album cover for the new She & Him album, Volume Two , which is less than two weeks away.
