Broken Bells: First Show Amazes Brooklyn

Holy crap. The Broken Bells better be here to stay.

The collaboration includes the masterminds of Danger Mouse and James Mercer (lead singer of The Shins), and a tight backing band.  I was uber impressed, and these guys are going to continue to amaze this year as their tour rolls out.  I'll be sure to check out their SXSW performance at the Stubbs - NPR showcase on March 17th.

Girl got STYLE

For my own fashion inspiration for the Spring, I've been perusing some of the best celeb looks from festivals past.  Somehow these ladies just make it look so damn cool.

My Morning Jacket, "One Big Holiday"

Wait--there's more.  If you buy a ticket to a show this Summer, you'll get the album.  For free.

Foxy Lady, I'm Coming To Get You

Get ready for it...never before heard Jimi Hendrix is coming out of the vault.  March 9th.  This is the first album I've ever pre-ordered from itunes before, so enjoy the first single!  We can also look forward to several more tracks in the future...crazy, psychedelic, and straight from the grave, right?!

JAYZ My Nizzle

Trey Songz, Young Jeezy, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Lil' Wayne.  I hadn't heard of half of these guys until last night.  And isn't Lil' Wayne supposed to be in jail?  Even though I was hoping for an Alicia Keys or Rhianna guest appearance, the show last night at MSG was amazeballs, and the graphics on the backdrop were killer.

The highlight of the show was when Jay-Z took it back to the 90's with "99 Problems" and "Big Pimpin,'" and finally "Empire State of Mind"--there's no question he has much love for his hometown, and it felt special to be a part of it.  This man can point to anyone in the audience and command them to his every will, but he takes none of it for granted.  A true musical God.

OK Go Does It Again

Lots of buzz on this one.  It defintiely beats the treadmill, and we film geeks love this because it's one take!  The song's not bad either, not bad at all.

"This Too Shall Pass"

On Repeat: She & Him

I shouldn't have to tell you that Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward make beautiful sweet music together. We still have one month to go before Volume Two, but I'm the lucky girl that gets to shoot them at SXSW in 3 weeks and counting.

Something new, something old, and a cover to top it off:

She & Him, Volume Two "In The Sun"
She & Him, (500) Days of Summer "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want"
