M. Ward and Zooey continue to mount their televised late night charm offensive with a stop in at Craig Ferguson's L.A. studio last night, convenient for Matt since he was already out Coachella way. Upon premature enunciation, we pronounced "Change Is Hard" to be a "charmer," which combined with a slower tempo than Z & M's song choice for Conan ("Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" with Yo La Tengo), made for dramatically fewer "I'm comfortable and charming no really!" Zooey bugeyed smiles, more opportunity to focus and her sweet and vulnerable twang (get your mind out of the gutter).

It seems illness has forced She and Him-- one M. Ward and one Zooey Deschanel-- to cancel tonight's set at New York City's Hiro Ballroom, which would've kicked off their all-too-brief touring plans. (Via Brooklyn Vegan.) All other dates on the tour are still on, as is their appearance on tomorrow night's episode of "Late Night With Conan O'Brien". - Source

M. Ward breaks down the thought process behind Volume 1: *"I don't produce other people's songs too much... but when I heard these songs, I knew I wanted to give it a shot. This She & Him project is just a great holiday. The recording of it was really simple and easy because the songs were great. Now, we play shows when it fits into our schedule, record when we have the time and it's really simple as that."* - Source
