You Wednesday Moment of Why Didn't I Get the Memo?

From 2003, and the soundtrack to Not Another Teen Comedy, please enjoy power-popsters Phantom Planet -- featuring Wes Anderson rep company actor Jason Schwarzman on drums -- and the cover of Jackson Browne's "Sombody's Baby" I always heard in my head.

Seriously, I've loved that song since it first appeared (ironically enough on the 1982 soundtrack to Fast Times at Ridgemont High) but I always thought Jackson's version could have rocked a little harder. In any case, somehow I managed to completely miss the above (which is transplendent) until I stumbled on it last weekend, and I would just like to thank all you bastids for not hipping me to it earlier.

Ingrates!!! 😎

    Good song. Great cover. It's rare that a cover is that much better than the original.

    Schwarzman got himself a good band doing a great cover.
