  Mathew Ward and Zooey Deschanel (a.k.a. She & Him). We fully admit to our jealousy of Mathew Ward. Not only does the Portland guitarist have an obscene amount of talent (which he's demonstrated much over the past decade on seven separate full-length albums), Ward's collaborated musically with such indie all-stars as Cat Power, Bright Eyes, and Yo La Tengo. The dude (who performs as M. Ward) even got to perform on Letterman last night. Plus, he's best friends with the gorgeous Zooey Descha

  Amazon takes their shot at indie rock's 100 greatest albumsThe fine folks over at amazon.com decided that the time was ripe to assemble a list of the best indie rock albums of all time. Indie rock is a genre either really easy to define or kind of confusing to define, but that sentiment did not hold back amazon.com as their staff writers compiled their massive list. It is a sight to behold and it includes some impressive (and not so impressive) albums. Revel in the glory of the list after the j

This is in support of their new album, Popular Songs, due out September 8. This is a boon for The Valley's live scene, keeping in form with my prediction that this late summer/early fall will be one for the

  Ah yes, the ever popular x-ray of Nathan Williams' broken wrist.​Nathan Williams, the creative force behind Wavves, has been having an interesting last few months. There was the meltdown incident in Spain and the broken wrist. He released a new song, Mickey Mouse, a week ago and now he's announced the icing on the cake : a tour stop in Phoenix at the Rhythm Room. Since our resident Wavves super fan (I'll let you guess who) is unable to report the news, I've taken it upon myself to let our fait

• Why Does Rob Thomas Send Ovaries Aflutter?

  I've never understood the Rob Thomas thing. I know the guy has sold something like 100 million records through various projects, and his voice is pleasant enough, but I've always considered the Matchbox 20 singer to be something of a non-entity, as bland and forgettable as his Nascar driver-appropriate double first name. He's supposed to be "sexy," but to me his big, pale, blockhead looks like something you'd find on a guy who'd make a suitable casting choice for Dwight's cousin Mose on The Offi

• Yo La Tengo at The Marquee

  ​It's been a pretty solid year to be a Yo La Tengo fan.  The Hoboken-based indie-rock institution (25 years and running) didn't just release one new album this year, they released two. Their latest, Popular Songs finds the band exploring their entire stylistic breadth, indulging in the orchestrated pop, Motown homages and plenty of anthems. The other, the slightly more provocatively titled Fuckbook, released earlier this year by their not-so-secret alter-egos Condo Fucks, is a sequel

• Concert Review: Elliot BROOD at Rhythm Room

  BY MIKE ESCOTOShawn Anderson courtesy of ElectricMustache.com​ If you were a music fan in Phoenix on Wednesday night and looking to hit up a concert you had plenty of acts to choose from. The obvious choices were Yo La Tengo at Marquee Theatre or Ghostface Killah and Mayer Hawthorne at The Clubhouse. With two big name acts both playing on the same night it's not hard to see how the twangy Toronto indie trio Elliott BROOD at The Rhythm Room could get lost in the mix.The obvious lack of attend

• Nothington at the Phix: A private performance

  by Frances Michelle Lopez​        I don't think I have ever paid $10 to see a punk band before. Growing up, I was raised with that $5 or no one turned away sort of punk rock mentality, the kind of ideal that hardcore forefathers like Ian MacKaye had deeply instilled in this vast and ever-changing D.I.Y culture. Places back home in Los Angeles like the Smell and Pehrspace still live up to that standard while smaller venues like the Trunk Space and Modifie
