The Elected

In a comment from another post, Ch mentioned I might like the new Jenny Lewis record. Jenny Lewis is the frontwoman of indie darlings / LA hipsters / former child actors Rilo Kiley. And while I have heard some cuts of the Lewis record, I've been really into the side project of the other songwriter/former child star in Rilo Kiley- Blake Senate. His band: The Elected. The Album: "Sun, Sun, Sun". Pretty good. $2.95 at Amoeba. There's one song that will be on all the mix tapes I make this year called "Did Me Good" and it's fantastic.


The Elected's "Not Going Home"

TV (netflix) Recommendation

A lot of my friends like the WIRE and/or MAD MEN and I wanted to precommend this show called Flight of the Conchords because it shares actors from the aforementioned shows.

Kristen Schaal plays a telephone dispatch person on Mad Men, but also plays Mel, the band's stalker and only fan on Flight of the Conchords.
David Costabile plays a newspaper editor on the Wire, but first played Doug, Mel's husband, on Flight of the Conchords.
It's pretty much like a mix between Mad Men and Wire.
