So I was catching up with Pam's site tonight and noticed we shared a mutual love for Jenny Lewis which reminded me that I haven't done a "What's Playing ..." entry in a while, which is weird because I try and do one once a week.

My friend, Jacquie, asked me over dinner last week if, indeed, the songs I list are actually playing on my iPod and the answer: Damn Straight!

Anyway, I love Jenny Lewis. Love Rilo Kiley. Her solo album is amazing and I've probably listened to it at least 10 times since it came out because I tend to be stupidly obsessive about such things. Also? Because I think it's artists such as Jenny Lewis that have brought me faith that perhaps music is not as doomed as it seemed when my interest in it began to wane - sometime before the Backstreet Boys but certainly after Creed.

Speaking of Pam, a couple of weeks ago she and I exchanged a couple of emails about this very topic and it continues to be a wonderful revelation to me that those of us for whom music has always been a passion are openly supporting the artists creating all of this new and exciting stuff, despite how jaded we may have become. Music snobs are, by and large, pretty closed minded about things and we're all cracking our shells a bit to let some of this stuff back in.

I can't find an mp3 of the song in question and really. Seriously. One of the days I'm going to fix my FTP so I can upload songs again. For now? Maybe go buy it at iTunes? Buy the whole album if you're feeling crazy but by all means. Get this song. It's delightful.
