Jenny and Johnny, i.e. Jenny Lewis childhood-star-Rilo-Kiley-frontwoman-and-solo-fame-goddess and singer songwriter Johnathan Rice. Their relationship brought them a joint album titled We’re Having Fun Now that was released in 2010. Feeling all sentimental, here’s my favorite song from their album, called “Big Wave”.

Pond, from Perth, Australia, is a sick new band that will be touring the states this spring. Stereogum describes their sound:

Australia’s POND mixes big licks and psychedelic vibes in a way that recalls some of the Beatles’ more far-out stuff.” I’m way down with that.

Miley Cyrus on Gay Marriage in America:

I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color?

One day I read online about the head of Urban Outfitters donating to a presidential candidate who does not support equality for everyone. I was shocked and disappointed that a company with such diversity would exclude such a large group of people. I can no longer bring myself to shop there.
