Cue the sound of thousands of blogger hearts breaking. USmagazine.com (via Rawkblog) reports that Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard and actress/She & Him singer Zooey Deschanel are engaged. Isn't that just the most indie-in-2008 thing ever? It almost seems a little too perfect, as if we made it up in some kind of fantasy indie rock love connection.

Emails to Death Cab's publicist and She & Him's publicist haven't been answered yet, but various other sources, including MTV.com and People.com, claim to have confirmed the engagement. Sorry, lonely dudes.
