Maybe I'm one of the last people to hear about Jenny Lewis, but that's okay. I finally came around when I saw this video of her new single "Rise up with Feist" or something like that. Funny Loretta Lynne looke she pulls off. The album is above average so far, but I reserve the right to say it's even better as I get to know it. Right now, I just keep playing the single over and over along with my trusty guitar. In fact, it's really the first couple of lines I love, including the great lyric: "It's like trying to clean the ocean/ what do you think you can drain it?"Fun stuff. Reminds me of Edith Frost. The new Cat Power is really getting to me, too.
I took a walk in the falling snow with my dog tonight, too. That's always good to do if you are lucky to have both handy, a dog and snow. Even better if you find a stick.

Who is this Joseph and why does he read such crappy books? Oh well, at least he didn't waste his time with books about the Beatles.
Oh, he just gets on these kicks. He recently declared the death of fiction (though declaring the death of fiction is itself dead)and he's started on a crappy book phase.
Apparently the Watson twins, originally from Louisville, went to the University of Evansville. I have trouble figuring out exactly where they shine on the album, so I can't decide if I'm interested in them or not. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of this album. I think Jenny Lewis is really neat, and foxy too. This album jumps around a bit, stylistically speaking, but not nearly as much as a Rilo Kiley album. So, it's almost easier to swallow, if you will. I'm sure you will. Indeed, it seems as if you already have.
