So if you know me – you probably know that I have a serious Jack White problem. Anything he does is perfection to me. When I heard the news that The White Stripes had broken up I nearly died because I knew I would not have the chance to see them live. When I read THIS news – that he would be releasing a solo album in April titled Blunderbuss – I nearly died again. I will be seeing him live for this. Oh yes.

Or maybe I should say Jam Of The Night since it is past my bedtime already. I just got done watching one of my favorite movies – The Virgin Suicides. The music by Air is so dreamy and a perfect fit. Give Playground Love a listen.
I love how the song comes from pieces of Luxs gum.
We saw Funny People today and loved it. I am a bit biased though, because of my love for everything Judd Apatow. I have heard mixed reviews, but most of the negative have been either “its a long movie” or “it wasn’t as funny as I thought it was going to be”. I expected a dramedy, and this movie is only 13 minutes longer than the unrated versions of Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin. While there are plenty of laughs, its not the usual brand of Apatow comfort food, the subject matter is a bit more substantial. The soundtrack was downloaded not long after we got home. The music is so chill, perfect for a relaxing drive or a day of running errands with only your ipod by your side.
While you’re at it check out the album Strange Weirdos: Music From and Inspired by Knocked Up
One of my newest music addictions is a band called Heartless Bastards. We saw Jenny Lewis at The Alabama Music Box about a month ago and these guys were the opening band. They are now on constant rotation on my ipod.
Girl can sing!
This one is my personal fave, Done Got Old.
“Wennerstrom’s inspiring wail registers somewhere between a young PJ Harvey and Robert Plant in his prime.” ~ Bill Werde, Rolling Stone
