Got to see this one to believe it:
Lot of comments on YouTube by Hindus and other Indians/Bollywood fans complaining about this insult to their culture. Hey - join our Indians. They've been being insulted in Western flms for a lot longer...

Wow! What a way to kick off a Tuesday! Maharishi-tastic Banhart with his A-list squeeze Natalie Portman acting out some made up Hindu prophecy in art direction that screams your nearest Taj Mahal Indian restaurant calander art. (Mmm...Chicken Tikka Saag). You know what's coming next? A Banhart-produced Portman album of Warren Zevon covers. (I kid.)

Fantastic song and promo video for Devendra's new album Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. Video is of the making of the album.I believe it is his finest album to date. Love the jam starting at around 5 mins
Hey look, I interviewed Devendra Banhart again. The piece runs in PopMatters today: C'mon Over and Let's Make a Record: An Interview with Devendra Banhart[2 October 2007]How the pied piper of psych folk and his ever growing band of followers holed up in a Topanga Canyon house, broke out a boxload of exotic instruments and kicked out the jams of Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon. If you ever get invited to Devendra Banhart’s house, wherever it is at the moment, you should... MORE
Just a quick note, because I am in a hurry this morning, but I had to get this out. I picked up Devendra Banhart's new one this week, and it hit me like a brick wall. This album is magic and love and fire and all that cliche garbage that dreams are made of. The standout piece (off the top), at least for me, is "Sea Horse." After my first run through the album I went back to this one on repeat for an hour or so loving it more each time !! You need to check this one out ... MORE
I reviewed Devendra's latest album Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon last week for Dusted -- and also did an interview with him (which isn't finished yet and won't run for a while). Here's a bit from the review:Over the last few years, Devendra Banhart has evolved from a fragile outsider artist, recording on other people's answering machines (Oh Me Oh My), to a favored protégé of Swans/Young God's Michael Gira (Rejoicing in the Hands, Nino Roja), to the acknowledged center...

MOGstars: 9 out of 10 Forged in Topanga Canyon, one time playground of all of hippie-folk royalty, Devendra Banhart’s latest offering sees him lose some of his more extreme idiosyncrasies and mix a more accessible sound with retrospective overtones that hark back to Stills, Mitchell and Young. Opening track _Cristobal_ glides past with gravely vocals and gentle guitar plucks with the Spanish vocals carrying only a hint of the crazies, while the Hawaiian infused _So Lon... MORE
I am loving this soon to be released Devendra Banhart album. Has a very cool Cat Stevens feel to it...the album is called 'Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon'
Especially this track
enjoy
In the past few years, Devendra Banhart seems to have become the indie world's pet hippy, a benign prankster who radiates love for music, spiders, humanity, his beard, and the vast array of fine artists he has nurtured, played with and championed over the past five years. I can't think of many other musicians in that time who have informed my taste so much, whose proselytizing have turned me on to so much great music. There's a danger, though, that maybe people don't tak... MORE
