love/hate.

yeah, i know. i am exactly the sort of a person who hates songs like these: too retro, too laidback. for a fussy busybee they just don't make sense. i'm trying to avoid using the term 'pretentious', but, whoops, there it is...

jason schwartzman's (yeah, the actor) solo project coconut records creates songs that i just love feel pissed off about and his former band phantom planet doesn't score any higher.

but the video is cute, there's chloe sevigny and the entire black'n'white vibe just echoes fellini's summer in rome. the fact that it was shot in l.e.s. doesn't hurt, either.



ok, the song isn't all that crappy, really...

Yeah, well I kinda hate (or not exactly hate, it just doesn't too much for me) the song too, but with friends like Chloë and other cool L.E.S. citizens, how could you go wrong? I also love Patrick O'Dells photos of 'em, check out http://www.epiclylaterd.com/
