Jenny Lewis

Hey. Hazim here...and getting sick of typing that. Anyways, like the previous post said, here's another artist I advise everyone worth their musical salt 2 go n check out. She's the lead singer of the awesome indie band, Rilo Kiley. Jenny Lewis is the kind of girl indie guys wanna date. I'm not an indie guy, but whatever, I still like her. They feature her band's music on the OC (Apparently, if your band's music is featured on the OC, then it's the equivalent of earning royalty status in the indie rock world). Her new music isn't that different, but she does duets with (get ready for this), Ben Gibbard from Death Cab For Cutie (Another OC fave), James Valentine from Maroon 5, M ward, and least but not least (okay, indie chicks, get ready 4 this one), Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes! Hot hot hot CD! The album is called Rabbit Fur Coat. The CD is actually listed under The Watson Twins, but Jenny's the main attraction. She's on every single track. Rilo Kiley's music is like Death Cab For Cutie with a girl singin the main vocals. Her new CD is like Rilo Kiley with big boys backing her up. Here's a track listing. She's also got Nellie McKay's attitude.
Run Devil Run
The Big Guns
Rise Up With Fists
Happy
The Charging Sky
Melt Your Heart
You Are What You Love
Rabbit Fur Coat
Handle With care
Born Secular
It wasn't Me
Happy (Reprise)
Most Def something 2 check out. I doubt the CD will be sold here yet, so I guess I'm gonna have to download legally ( this is the part where I act real proud). hahaha. By the way, 4 those of you who don't know, jenny Lewis is a former child actress. Like the rest of the world, she discovered that Musicians Turn More People On Than Actors Ever Will. By the way, you can sample her at the site below. And here's a sample lyric. Enjoy. Hazim. Out.
What Are You Changing?
Who Do You Think You're Changing?
You Can't Change Things, We're All Stuck In Our Ways,
It's Like Trying To Clean The Ocean,
What Do You Think You Can Drain It?
Well It Was Poison And Dry Long Before You Came

You talk about her everytime we talk music. Maybe you have a crush on her! Hazim, I hope you can be there on Thursday. How was Taylor's? Nice, right?
You left your bag at my place. I'll give it back if you come with us on Thursday.
