C Is For Coconut Records

If you like: She & Him, Ben Kweller, Rilo Kiley

Then let me introduce: Coconut Records

“I was the drummer in a band that you’ve heard of,” sings Jason Schwartzman, and that band was Phantom Planet. After ditching this role to pursue his acting career (thankfully), Schwartzman returned to the music scene with a much more clear-cut, poppy sound than his past band ever had. In two records, he churns out tracks that can be likened to the epitome of modern indie pop—friendly, re-playable, and hummable. In another leap from Phantom Planet, Jason went from strictly drumming to playing nearly all instruments on Coconut’s “records.” It’s a sound so sunny that at first it seems suitable only for your up moods; take another listen and the lyrics reveal themselves to be the smart, ironic lyrics only a Coppola actor could write.

Starter Kit:

“Microphone”

“West Coast”

“Any Fun”

I Think I See A Pink Light And The Coming Of Dawn

Last weekend was really quite a weather tease. The unseasonably early sixty degree weather gave a brief reprieve from winter and now I cannot wait for a change of season and wardrobe. It is about time to say goodbye to the sturdy boots I have worn everyday for the past four months of winter trekking. The minute I see some pink flowers outside, that’s it: no more boots.

Peace,

  • Must-watch: Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman short film directed by Coppola for Opening Ceremony.
  • What your favorite author says about you.
  • Fairy tale endings: 2010-style.
  • A history of Obama feigning interest in mundane things.
  • A look at the disgusting ingredients that are in your cosmetics!
  • This moment makes me happy, too.
  • Adorably unlikely animal pals.
  • Hypocritical rappers.
  • The New York Times gives you steps to be happier.
  • Maybe I should just start planning for hitting the snooze button, like this blog does.
