Phantom Planet

Looking on iTunes at Celebrity Playlists, Phantom Planet put together a pretty nice mix.

Included current sun-kissed cathedral of crush favorite (well, all-time favorite, but recently back in heavy rotation) 'She Bangs the Drums' by the Stone Roses. A bunch of Shins, More than honey by the Jesus and Mary Chain, Serge Gainsbourg, Leonard Cohen, The Specials, some band named Quix*O*Tic, Pulp, and the Replacements. Impressive taste if nothing else.

Got into a conversation last night with Liz about the greatest forgotten bands. I was talking about the Replacements and Teenage Fanclub, wondering how I might possibly have missed them the first time around.
She also included the Stone Roses (my favorite band of all time) and REM and very strangely, the Connells.

We also got into a oneuppsman over wierdest show we saw. Gatorpallooza easily won. 8)

james, Black Sheep (The Choice is Yours - 'you can deal with this, or you can deal with that'), TomTom Club (boring - the crowd started doing the wave), the Soup Dragons, and then Public Enemy.

Tiny Mix Tapes: "When I tell people that my introductions to the band Phantom Planet and the movie Rushmore were exclusive of each other, yet both in 1999, I'm usually met with looks of skepticism. Jason Schwartzman is, after all, the drummer in the band and the star of the movie, and so being a fan of one must always logically follow from the other. This is one of today's most celebrated actor-in-a-band situations. But oh, it must be said: not anymore! Following the recording of Phantom Planet, Mr. Schwartzman departed the band, to be replaced by the unfamiliar Jeff Conrad."
