She And Him: Surprisingly Good

Zooey Deshanel and M. Ward’s collaboration is refreshing in a time when most actresses think they can sing. Zooey has the pipes to pull it off, I think, although she’s going to need a while to smooth some things out. I also like songs with clapping. (See video below.)

The two played at Cat’s Cradle yesterday (good venue) and will play at the Orange Peel on Thursday (great venue) and the Wexner Center next week.

Also, amusing fact: The first paragraph of Zooey’s Wikipedia page hasn’t been updated to list “The Happening” as a movie in which she played a lead role. That is unequivocally by design. “The Happening” is the worst movie I’ve ever paid money to see.
