It also says she did some live shows at Coachella with The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Why? .

[tiedye]

I'm not terribly stoked about it myself, but I'll check it out. I love Waits' music.

[Grapes]

She's goin to be at Coachella??

This is totally my chance to make my move.

[Silverwinged]

god i hope this doesnt get uber popular.

[tiedye]

It could turn out to be great music though.

1) nobody knows if she can sing her not, though she did sound good in that obama psa i saw
2) a tom waits album? that is pretty awesome, even if its horrible

[tiedye]

Not bad.

[tiedye]

I do have to say she gets instant props for doing shows with The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Karaoke scene, Lost in Translation.

Rating: passable

You can tell she was trying for that whole "can't really sing all that well but still comes off as adorable" vibe in that scene.

[Grapes]

Interesting theory..

[tiedye]

I had the 'privilege' of running karaoke for a long time. You learn to know when people are holding back or intentionally making an ass of themselves.

[tiedye]

You are correct, sir.

David Bowie was quoted saying it's awesome. I'd believe the man!

Oh, and ScarJo is gorgeous.

[KrisisID]

i can't wait for this year's coachella. its the last stop of The Dark Side of The Moon's Live, last tour ever with Roger Waters. It's going to be nuts.
