I’ve lately been listening a lot to Phantom Planet, the band backed on drums by Jason Schwartzman of Rushmore fame. They somewhat harken to the somewhat more mainstream band, The Strokes…but the fact that a somewhat movie-star is actually part of a somewhat popular and successful band makes Phantom Planet somewhat all the better (as opposed to, say, Dogstar with the, ahem, “thespian” Keanu Reeves on bass).

Regardless, their video for California has started showing up on MTV recently. Which (despite the fact that now technically makes them sell-outs [and me a music-lemming]), is pretty cool.
