My morning playlist has been Rilo Kiley and Jenny Lewis heavy. It's been a while since there's been an RK track in this community, so here is a good one.

I think I had a ticket to a Rilo Kiley show which was on their tour for their last album, but I think it was cancelled. I was lucky enough to be in New York City to see Jenny Lewis play with the Watson Twins a few years later. Have you been to any RK or JL shows?

I also found this version Jenny performed live in Sydney, a while ago. Youtube link

I feel like I heard this song pretty constantly on college radio in the mid-2000s but I literally 100% forgot this band existed for like the last 15 years. Thanks for posting this - it'll be fun to dig into their stuff again.

IMO much of RK and Jenny Lewis output is pretty great and I revisit their tunes from time to time, with enjoyment. Thanks for commenting!
