In anticipation of the new She & Him album that drops March 23rd on Merge records, they have just released a new music video for the first single on Pitchfork TV. Titled “In The Sun”, the video is the group’s best yet. Zooey Deschanel proves she has sweet dancing skills and M. Ward is his usual cool self.

Austin’s new blogger buzz band, The White White Lights (TWWL), have just released their new EP, Medium Head Boy. The EP is a six song gem that gives fans that have seen them live in Austin for the past year or so something they can finally put in their iPod or car stereo. Medium Head Boy is serves also as their gift to new listeners who are tired of the endless stream of samesy indie bands talked about on every popular music blog. The new EP is a clear sign that The White White Lights are indeed this year’s new “it” band to come out of The Live Music Capital.

Now I’m not sure about other parts of the country, but here in Texas there isn’t a person alive that doesn’t chant along to the chorus of “Hey Baby Que Paso” when they hear it. Second only to maybe the state song itself, the Texas Tornados classic is arguably the most popular song in Texas history. With the passing of the great Freddy Fender and Doug Sahm, I figured they were just that at this point…Texas history. Thank goodness I was wrong about that.
The music icons are back together again, with as close of an original line up as they could put together. Filling in his for his father, Shaun Sahm has joined Flaco Jimenz and Auggie Meyers to put out their new release due out on March 2nd, Esta Bueno!. That’s an understatement amigos.
