You know those bottles with the labels on them that say Do Not Take Internally? Yeah, well. I can't help it. I take everything internally.

Song Of The Day

Go Ahead
by
Rilo Kiley

Rilo Kiley, lead singer Jenny Lewis, has been a popular underground band for several years now. Their most popular song is probably Silver Lining, which, by the way, is also absolutely amazing.

They're strange people, very blunt and hard edged in both their music lyrics and their real life viewpoints. Jenny and Blake Sennett, the male voice that can be heard in some of the songs, were both child actors. Neither of them got famous, Jenny was in the popular nineties "tween babysitter" film Troop Beverly Hills.

The name Rilo Kiley comes from a dream Blake had about being chased by a sports almanac (?) and finding that name inside.

Listen to "Go Ahead" here!
