Rating: 9.3 The release of Rilo Kiley's latest record is a bittersweet moment for me. While the album itself is quite good and represents a new direction for the band - and is receiving a surprising (and deserved) amount of attention - a disproportionate amount of that attention seems to be given to Jenny Lewis... while Blake Sennett quietly sits in the wings - a cofounder, co-collaberator, but certainly not co-beneficiary. It's an unfair position for someone as able... MORE

finally fall has hit los angeles...it's been cool and cloudy and breezy all day...everything even feels like it's time to settle down, get cozy with a book and blanket, and prepare for winter. so long 100+ temperatures, hello rainy days and warm blankets! and soon it'll be my absolute favorite time of year, when you wake up late one lazy winter's day and the rain is pattering against your window that you absentmindely left open the night before and you spend all day loun...

You got your chin pointed down.Yeah, you look at the ground when you talk.And I'm listening babe but you think I'm not.And this is taking too long and when you gone I don't think I'll miss you.But something in me, won't forgive you.And girl, you've got some explaining to do.'cause it seems that you miss me now that we're through.I got this problem.And it never sleeps even when I do.And I'm glad that you miss me now that we're through.And it's late in the game.

Well, you've seen all that you came for.
It didn't help you at all.
Watch as I break rank and dissolve.
Emily, why don't you miss me?
You hung around for so long.
But I got no friends and you got no resolve.
Was it so long ago?
You asked me to stay behind.
You said I didn't care at all.
Was it so long ago?
I asked you to stay beside me all through the years.
The death of this mess finally came around with no relief this year.
Congratulations you just fucking disappeared.

Whilst waiting for the new Rilo Kiley album to come out, I decided to finally check out The Elected, Blake Sennett's side project. What I found was a mixture of dreamy vocals, catchy beats, and country-tinged pop rock melodies. The lyrics are very reminiscent of Rilo Kiley's quirky yet endearing narratives, weaving timeless tales of frustration and loneliness. The detail in titles like "7 September 2003", and songs that talk about memories being "just picture cards, one... MORE

there is a depressing lack of the elected on mog. especially since there is so much rilo kiley that it's a bit overwhelming. and even more especially since the elected are so much better than rilo kiley. (don't get me wrong, i'm not knocking jenny lewis, but the heart and soul of rilo kiley is and always will be blake sennet...it was his band first and no matter what jenny lewis says or does, it will always be blake's band...)
