M Ward & Conor Oberst to form Band?

Is it me, or does the artist formerly known as Bright Eyes look like M & M's brother?


First taste of info from Omaha City weekly

Then Pitchfork

Finally, SG site

M. Ward & Zooey Deschanel

From the film The Go Getter comes When I Get To The Border. I'm not such a huge fan of Zooey due to Matt's work with the likes of Jenny Lewis, Norah Jones and Neko Case. Zooey just doesn't do it for me, but you should give it a try despite my opinion.

The Gourd's @ The Golden Light

It had been 3 years since The Gourds last payed us a visit. This was the end of a five night stint before a break and back down to the Hill Country. They didn't show any tired legs last night as they proceeded to get the Golden Light hoppin'. They payed quite a bit of new material off of Nobel Creatures. Cranky Mulatto and Spivey were exceptionally good.





I read the multi-instrumentalist Max Johnston is Michelle Shocked's brother and he was also in Uncle Tupelo and Wilco.
He was quite good on fiddle and slide guitar. We visited with several members of the band after the show, who were all very kind in sharing some stories with us.

M Ward joins Norah Jones on ACL

Last night M Ward joinded Norah Jones on 2 songs from here night at The Austin City Limits television show. The two harmonized with ease on Creepin' In and
Hands on the Wheel. Playing an Acoustic, Matt took turns with Norah on vocals. His velvety voice blended perfectly.
