Ok part deux for today: One of my new faves is Jenny and Johnny's new I'm Having Fun Now. Jenny Lewis, of Rilo Kiley fame, teams up with her beau, Scotish musician Jonathan Rice, to create a sweet and jangly pop album. I love the duo effort, especially this song, "Scissor Runner," although I'd love to have a bit more Jenny than Johnny throughout. Sweet, reminiscent of early '90s collaboration with Evan Dando and Juliana Hatfield.

New Walkmen!
Okay, it's been awhile since I have written, so I am going to do a double whammy today. First, new Walkmen! I have been a fan of this garage indie band for a while now, and their new stuff does not disappoint. And the fact that they named the new album after Lisbon--a place I just visited and loved over the summer--I felt ever that much more connected to it. So hopefully you'll like it whether you have been to Lisbon or not. Here's a clip of them performing 'Stranded' at Lolla this summer. (Please ignore the comments from the peanut gallery at the end--there isn't an official video yet, so this was the best video recording out there so far):
