That's Her?

I heard a lovely and evocative song entitled Sweet Darlin' recently by the band She & Him. The song is reminiscent of Leslie Gore, Dusty Springfield and other fabulous female singers of the 1960's. I loved it, and what I didn't realize at the time was that the musicians are M. Ward, and Zooey Dechanel on vocals, of films such as The Good Girl, where she played the charming and quirky cashier, Cheryl. Apparently she's a very talented musician too!

Also, listen to the political satire of Flobots' Handlebars, about power, corruption and responsibility and MGMT's commentary on wanting to grow up to be a rock star, Time to Pretend, both songs sounding like they are from the viewpoint of children in the sandbox, or who's the biggest bully in the global sandbox?
