SONG OF THE DAY [#343]

'west coast' | coconut records

yes, that'd be erstwhile phantom planet drummer and 'rushmore' thespian jason schwartzman and his fine 'coconut records' tote bag.

it's funny 'cos i had two folks email me within hours of each other asking if i'd heard coconut records. 'coconut records?' i said. 'can't say i've heard of them.' but, ah, wait! a look at my itunes reveals that indeed i had many coconut record songs--i just did not that it. silly me.

anyway, these be some mighty fine tunes. i certainly like coconut records more than i liked phantom planet. maybe that's 'cos coconut records owes more than a tiny debt to the olivia tremor control, cotton mather, neutral milk hotel and all the other elephant six alum. but that's a good thing. i'm definitely drinking the coconut juice and feeling the urge to go to tahiti.

coconut records debut album, 'nighttiming,' dropped march 20, 2007. nice job, mr. schwartzman.
