suggest ban

picture me lollin

this thread is hilarious

Am I crazy or is the new video somehow a takeoff of Britney's " Baby One More Time?"

I READ HRO TOO

i've got mad love for M. Ward but this is wack.

wtf this thread

It's a good tune. I find amateurist's criticisms a tad on the millenarian side. ;-)

New album is streaming at NPR: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=124615798&ft=1&f=1039

On first listen, I like this a lot -- a lot more confident-sounding than the first record, if a little less "spontaneous."

It's not bad, I pretty much agree with you from this listen. Still not sure if should bite on the amazonmp3 $5 release day thing going on right now...

should i go kill zooey deschanel? she is coming to my drown

not very nice :-(

not a single pun about zooey and 500 Days of Summer here. Times are changing

just watched the In The Sun video. UNBEARABLE (hott).

too bad about the music

i like the idea of m. ward (who is a pretty amazing guitarist) in a west-coast 70s-style pop act.

not sure this particular group is the best showcase for him in that role, but whatevs.

my crush on her died after seeing 500 Days of Summer

now that you mention it, she didn't seem hot at all from what i recall of that movie.

katy perry is like her with tits?

always annoyed by how her parents went out of their way to give her a literary reference name then mispronounced it.

Never heard a note of hers, but I assume she was named after the JD Salinger book, "Frannie and Zooey"

always hear her called Zoe (s'pose this might not be her fault, but as a public figure she can dictate how her name is pronounced) when it should be Zoo-ey

gotcha

i have never heard her name pronounced as Zoe

lucky you.

pretty sure I've only heard her name pronounced as zoe

then again, I don't talk about zooey deschanel so much

I saw something in Mojo (or somesuch) where she lists her favourite music.

"Odessey and Oracle", and such like.

She has very similar tastes, it seems, as our Alice.

Her name was made famous by author J.D. Salinger, who wrote the classic Catcher in the Rye and the best-selling Franny and Zooey. But frisky young actress Zooey Deschanel is refreshingly defiant about how it’s pronounced. I told her I always thought it was Zooey as in “zoo.” Yet she pronounces the “oo” sound as in “oh.” Maybe we should ask Salinger, I suggested. Zooey wasn’t having any of that! “I don’t really care what Salinger says about my name,” she said. “It’s my name.”

Going to see this chick 2nite.

Also, Slate suggests that Salinger's Zooey was meant to be pronounced like Zoe:

ok i looked up some talk show appearances on youtube and the hosts all said it like 'zoe' so i guess it was just people IRL saying it like 'zoo-ey' after all. go fig.

to think we could have had her drowned back in 2008

feeling pretty shame-faced if Salinger meant it to be pronounced Zoe!

i apologise, zooey deschanel!

It's a shame that Ms. Deshanel can't sing on key to save her life.

Saw She & Him in Cleveland last night. Good show, Zooey and M. Ward have lots of onstage chemistry and the audience obvs loves her. They've got a crack band with them too (Dan Horne, Louie Stephens, Aaron Sperske, who have been in bands like the Lilys and Beachwood Sparks). Don't know where this "can't sing on key" stuff comes from -- she came out and did a couple songs with openers Chapin Sisters, who also backed up her set, and she was fine. They did some fairly sophisticated 3-part harmony stuff and I never heard anything that made me cringe.

Going to see this chick 2nite.

Didn't do this.

Apparently the crowd was ridic.

notice how his feet are pointing in her direction...

Is that just some pick-up artist "look for the signs of attraction" talk?

It looks like every promo picture they use she just saw a UFO or something.
