The official video for M. Ward's cover of Buddy Holly's "Rave On" brought a big smile to my face, so I couldn't resist sharing it with you. Taken from his latest album, Hold Time, the cheery tune features vocals from Zooey Deschanel, who recorded an album with M.

Earlier this week, I gave the Dead Man's Bones debut album a listen. You may not recognize the band name, but you probably recognize the frontman: it's actor Ryan Gosling. I'm a big Gosling fan, but I wasn't expecting his music to have any substance, or for me to actually like it.

I love a woman who's serious about her creative spaces, and actress and musician Zooey Deschanel, who is featured in Domino’s upcoming February issue, is definitely after my decorating heart.
Deschanel, who graces the February issue's cover, shares one of her favorite rooms with Domino, a study that she's transformed into a creative space. The musician and actress's home style seems perfectly in line with her professional life: a combination of smart, quirky, and absolutely unique selections, much in keeping with her choices for acting roles and music collaborators.

Zooey Deschanel graces the cover of the October Nylon, and the "It" girl looks appealing and gorgeous in her silly offbeat photo shoot. After spending so much time shooting Yes Man with Jim Carrey, Zooey proves she can pull a few funny faces of her own while showing a slightly risqué side as well. We're already looking forward to the comedy which comes out in December, but in the issue Zooey also opens up about her musical side, saying, “Now that I’ve experienced what it’s like to stand up there and sing my own songs, I just can’t imagine wanting to do anything else.” She also reveals that she's a country singer at heart, and while we love her on the big screen we wouldn't mind seeing her try to give Jessica Simpson a little friendly competition.

Damon Albarn — of Blur, Gorillaz and The Good The Bad and The Queen — has spoken to Paste magazine this month about his world travels and the musical inspiration he's gleaned on his journeys. Here's a few excerpts from his interview:
- On our new eating habits in the UK: “Do you know we’re eating squirrels in England? It’s become a new lean-meat sensation.”
- On his travels to write Monkey: Journey to the West, the score he wrote for the Chinese opera: “We heard a lot of tribal music up in the mountains, where these people get out their blades of grass and start playing these strange and ancient grass-generated tunes.

This weekend Zooey and Emily Deschanel helped to celebrate the opening of "Victims & Avengers," a photography exhibit focusing on victims of domestic violence. Yeah, the Deschanel girls are pretty artsy. The show's subject sounds intense, but Zooey's mad banjo skills must have lightened up the event.

Zooey Deschanel was a ray of sunshine making her way through LAX over the weekend. It's a big week for the adorable actress with the release of M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening in which she stars alongside Mark Wahlberg and the much smaller release of The Go Getter last week.

Jim Carrey took the plunge in the name of his craft, bungee jumping on the set of Yes Man in Pasadena yesterday. Quite the stunt man, eh? The movie is about a man who decides to say "yes" to everything for an entire year (and I'm going to go ahead and guess that involves daring new adventures like this one).
