Did you know Jason Schwartzman made music (yes, that "Jason Schwartzman")? It was news to me. I found his band, Coconut Records, via some movie podcast, I think. Check out a few tracks on his MySpace, especially "West Coast," which for some reason gets me in a groove.
(via Pitchfork) Neko Case writes an essay on poetry in Poetry Magazine: "My Flaming Hamster Wheel of Panic About Publicly Discussing Poetry in This Respected Forum."
Wilco's "Impossible Germany" from Sky Blue Sky via Austin City Limits...
I really like the new Grizzly Bear new EP Friend. Pitchfork has a nice write-up on it. Worth checking out. For fun, here's their Take Away Show for "Shift"...
Yeah, time to start throwing in some Christmas-y stuff. Derek Webb's "Deliver Us" from the excellent Behold the Lamb of God...
zoey daschel also sings back up on a couple of songs. he recorded the whole thing in his house in a couple of days. everytime a friend was over he would just have them sing on some tracks. he talks about in on kimmel.

De-lurking here. I like yer blog.
And Jason Schwartzman actually was also the original drummer for the band Phantom Planet for a while, but quit the band to focus more on the acting gig. Good choice for him, i'd say.
