trouser shorts: jenny lewis, courtney love and more

A peculiar new trailer for the new Jenny Lewis album has surfaced on YouTube featuring a glockenspiel virtuoso (now there’s two words you don’t see side by side very often). There’s a number to call if you feel sufficiently intrigued, the reward being a sneaky preview listen to a song from the album (but we won’t tell you which one so the surprise isn’t ruined!).
