For my next installment of Vintage B-sides/Outtake Classics comes one of the best songs, never officially released, about Los Angeles. Rilo Kiley's "I Love L.A." A staple of their live shows, this is a song my good friend Cate was searching for. I found this version online. I Love L.A. best describes the City of Angels that I love so much. It's been over two years since I moved out here from Chicago and I never thought I'd take to this glorious city like I have. L.A.'s... MORE
More Adventurous by Rilo Kiley. One of my favourite lines comes from this song: "I read with every broken heart we should become more adventurous..."
These lyrics are strangely comforting to me. Just saying them back to myself while Jenn-eee sings them like some scorned horny little elf just makes me feel all warm inside. Odd.
And the grass it was a ticking
and the sun was on the rise
i never felt so wicked
as when i willed our love to die.
Thoughts?
It's 8:30 in the morning, and I'm woken up by a text message. I ignore it and go back to sleep. An hour later, I wake up to check it. The text is from my friend who works with me at a vegetarian restaurant in a quiet suburb of LA. "Jenny Lewis is sitting at table 11!!!!!" it reads. Jenny Lewis? THE Jenny Lewis? I call my work as I scramble to throw on some clothes, while thinking to myself "What Would Jenny Lewis Wear?" One of the girls picks up who is also a HUGE Rilo Ki... MORE

Here's the short of it. Went to see Rilo Kiley last night. After a less than inspiring set from opener Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, Blake Sennet came on stage to ask if we minded listening to a few new tracks written by some friends of the band. We screamed no, so he said, "Please welcome GILLIAN WELCH and DAVE RAWLINGS!!!" I for one about died. Screamed. Jumped up and down so much I nearly fell out of my little strappy sandals. As these were new songs, I cannot provi... MORE

I've made many of these recently. Since I'm a bipolar betty, I thought you might appreciate that I mixed up some "Fuck You, I'm so much better" songs, with some "We would have been good for each other..." (And with the choice of Pink: Who cares? It is the new quintessential breakup song.)
01. Rilo Kiley- "Breakin' Up" (Under the Blacklight)
02. Tegan and Sara- "Call It Off" (The Con)
03. Pink- "So What?" (Funhouse)
04. Acceptance- "Over You" (... MORE

Its true. I like Rilo Kiley. BUT, I'm not one of those indie rock guys from LA that really want to fuck Jenny Lewis. Not that she's not a pretty girl- just not my type.
So, I got the new CD "Under the Blacklight." Here's the deal: Its not like expect Rilo Kiley to keep releasing "Take Offs and Landings" over and over until they break up (which every band who's not named The Rolling Stones will do, eventually.) Truth be told I kinda liked "More Adventurous" and I even to... MORE

Oh man, I've been wanting to throw this out there for a few days, I'm surprised no one else has. If they did and I missed it, I humbly apologize. "15" Twenty-five the season off dopeThree sheets to the wind like a clothes line ropeHe's a spider on the web She's a tiny woman, he could senseHer developing body was just the beginningShe said is anybody out there She was bruised like a cherryRipe as a peachHow could he have knownThat she was only fifteen And she cam...
