Who would have thought that anyone from the Indie scene would be featured on MTV. It’s rare the time I’m on MTV, well except for my addiction to “The Hills” yes, I watch the show. I have to admit that I recently found this guy on a gossip site yes, I read those too but he’s no stranger to the music blog world. MOKB listed him as one of his top albums for 2007. Although I try my best to keep up it always seems that I’m just discovering some talent for the first time. Devendra will be performing in Los Angeles in June. His on my list to see for the summer.

Off the MTV news site:
Eccentric Venezuelan/Los Angelino merry folkster, Devendra Banhart, shot a new music video last weekend that stars one of our favorite people ever, Natalie Portman (seriously, she’s like the nicest person in the world). Oh but here’s the funny part. While both Portman’s folks and Devendra’s folks confirm this shoot took place over the weekend, at Banhart’s crazy canyon home in LA, neither camp WILL SAY WHAT SONG THE VIDEO IS FOR. They’re keeping it very secret and stuff.
We think that’s just silly.
Is it a song off of his recently released Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon, or perhaps it’s that exclusive Devendra song that appeared on the compilation Portman put out to benefit FINCA, the microfinance charity she’s a big supporter of.
