Back in the late ’90s, there was a California band named Rodriguez that consisted of Matt Ward and Kyle Field.  (They went through more drummers than Spinal Tap.)  Rodriguez released only one album, but those two guys went on to create names for themselves.  Matt Ward shortened his name to M. Ward, and – among other projects – is now the “him” in the duo She & Him.  (The “she” is actress Zooey Deschanel.) Continue reading »

They Say It’s Your Birthday celebrates an artist’s special day with other people singing his or her songs. Let others do the work for a while. Happy birthday!

When we last saw a video from Shout Out Louds, they had paired a grand vision of industrial decline with a Band of Horses cover. We named it a Best Cover Video of 2010. Now they’re back, with a significantly less ambitious video. It’s their version of Madonna’s “Ray of Light,” performed backstage in Paris. Continue reading »

Last week, Paper Bag Records released PS I Love You’s squalling cover of Madonna’s “Where’s the Party?” on Soundcloud. The included cover art gave us an inkling something was up, and, intrigued, we tweeted asking them if a True Blue tribute album was in the works. We never heard back…but we were right! Three days later, the label is releasing the full set as a free download to celebrate the launch of their new website. Celebration indeed (whoops, wrong album). Continue reading »
