Ask the Forest Fire

Having seen them both on stage, I think it's possible that Conor Oberst is actually Jason Schwartzman.

He and The Mystic Valley Band have been opening for Wilco.

I Got The Reason 2 was the song I liked best the other night. The recoding below is from a World Cafe appearance last September. I found it here. The studio version is track 15 on Outer South.

Imagine Max Fischer stepping to the mic...

Gotta Love a Good Amateur Choreographed Dance

I am very late to this party.  This video was posted in 2006, and over 41 million people have already watched it.  I found out about it tonight while watching YouTube Live and waiting for The Spinto Band to come on.



I saw OK Go live in Providence, RI in probably 2001.  They opened for Phantom Planet.  Tiny venue.  We went because Jason Schwartzman was drumming.  We were hoping for a little Max Fischer proximity.  As we walked in, we saw Schwartzman at the t shirt table.  Zeke got excited.  "Hey Schwartzman, take off your shirt!" he screamed.  Schwartzman heard.  He looked up, made eye contact with Zeker, reached for the bottom of his shirt, gave a little up fake, and shook his head.  We laughed, walked through the crowd to the table, and bought totally sweet Phantom Planet armbands.

With Your Carefully Designed Topless Swimsuit

Accidentally put this song on this morning.  Hadn't heard it in months.  I love it when that happens. 

He wants to look inside her head.  And he can.  Which is exciting.

If the song doesn't grab you, watch Hotel Chevalier, and I bet it will.

Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) is track 1 on The Darjeeling Limited Soundtrack.
