Sometimes Actors Make Good Music

The actor in question today is Jason Schwartzman.  He performs under the name Coconut Records even though it’s a solo effort. Schwartzman’s second album, Nighttiming, came out earlier this year and I’m really digging it.  The music is a little indie but upbeat and not whiney (I’m looking at you Scarlet Johansson).  I think what I like most about is that he includes my girl crush Zooey Deschanel on one of his tracks, Ask Her to Dance.  Granted, it’s kind of slow, but I mean, it’s ZOOEY (and she has already proven to be an established singer and actress).  Anyway, I’m totally crunching on this album and you should too.

I Should Hate This Song

I can’t tell if I like this new song by Cobra Starship (what?) featuring Leighton Meester, aka Blair from Gossip Girl and that slutty teenager on House for a few episodes two years ago. It’s fun/horrible, which equates to a “hot” summer single. You listen and judge for yourself. In the mean time, I’ll be hating myself while jamming to it on my ipod.
