His And Hers

A promising update for those in pursuit of the perfect mix: Amanda Demme, the musical master behind the Garden State, Mean Girls, and Blow soundtracks just released “His and Hers,” an awesome compilation of everything from The Sounds to Luna to Ryan Adams. I have no idea how her and her current musical partner George Augusto manage to make such seamless mixes; it’s so hard to make a CD of different artists sound like they belong together, and exceptionally hard to make that same mix endlessly attractive (I can still listen to the Garden State soundtrack without getting bored, wish I could say that for half of the other CD’s I’ve listened to recently). You can listen to a sampling of each song at the His and Hers webpage and buy the mix on Amazon. I should also mention that this is volume one of who knows how many… maybe number two will be out in time for my roadtrip to Coachella…
