Most people know as her as the glamorous yet nonchalant frontwoman of Rilo Kiley. Even more devoted fans have supported her solo act with local The Watson Twins. Our own lady of Silverlake, Jenny Lewis, is now coming out with her second solo studio album. However, unlike the extreme studio finish of Rilo Kiley’s latest best seller Under The Blacklight, Lewis plans on going in the opposite direction. Going for as much of a live vibe as possible, her new album Acid Tongue, due September 23, is stripped down to further reveal herself. According to Billboard Magazine, Lewis has a slew of guest appearances on the album.
The album features guest spots from a number of Lewis’ friends, including Elvis Costello, who duets with her on “Carpetbagger”; the Black Crowes’ Chris Robinson; and current beau Rice. Zoeey Deschanel offers backing vocals on several tracks (”I love being Flanked by hot brunettes,” Lewis says), and Deschanel’s She & Him cohort M. Ward provides a moody guitar part on Pretty Bird.
There is even a nine-minute song which she and Jonathan Rice wrote together as a homage to Barbra Steisand. Lewis explains,
I happen to be a Barbra Strisand fan, and Barbra Striesand fancies a medley, so we discussed stringing the three songs together.
It may have taken her a decade to get a fan base with as much anticipation as she has for herself, but having her own unique style and rhythm is what got her here.

Finally, LA ends a weekend with some great hip-hop. It’s refreshing to have something other than indie rock to choose from (not that I don’t love it). Check out Common with N*E*R*D at The Wiltern. Or stroll down to the House of Blues in Anaheim and throw your hands in the air for Nelly. Also, keeping with the hip-hop themed Sunday without veering too far off the indie road, Aesop Rock will be blasting Santa Monica Blvd. with their sick beats during their performance at the Troubadour. Whatever your preference, enjoy the music tonight:

Now we get to the good stuff! Burn After Reading, Towelhead, and Flow: For Love of Water are all influential, smart and amazing films for you to go out and see this weekend.
Burn After Reading is s new film by the Coen Brothers with John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, and Richard Jenkins. How could you go wrong? Then there is Alan Ball’s new film, Towelhead, a dark comedy with Aaron Eckhart, Toni Collette, Maria Bello, Peter Macdissi and Summer Bishi’s. This film deals with with some dark issues but like American Beauty and “Six Feet Under†it does so with a twist of humor. Then you have one of the highest recommended documentaries of the year, Flow: For Love of Water, which talks about how companies are capitalizing and destroying our water supply which is running out!
If none of those get you going, there are also three completely different films, The Family That Preys, Righteous Kill, and The Women opening this week. Whether you’re into drama, action, or female bonding, there is something for you.
So here they are, this week’s film releases with cast and crew information, reviews, show times and tickets, and trailers! Enjoy…
