Top 5: All Time Gingers

Since this week is apparently "Top 5 List" week, I thought I'd keep it rolling with a list I really can't believe we haven't made yet. Here are my Top 5 Gingers:

Molly Ringwald - The Queen of the 80's teen flick, Molly is my hero for giving Farmer Ted her undies, telling Steff what's what and dancing her ass off in the library.

Jenny Lewis - The Queen of Indie Rock. One of Let's Make Out's best songs at the moment is Jenny's "Acid Tongue."

Conan O'Brien - The funniest Tonight Show host since Carson.

Elizabeth I - My all time hero. Beth the First wouldn't marry because she knew it would mean giving up her power, so she just had dudes write her zillions of love poems instead. One of the OG feminists.

Ron Weasley - So, he's fictional. We still love him more than most real people. And this reminds us HP6 is out in theaters in less than a month! Huzzah!

Your favorite gingers in the comments, please.

New Music Friday

Here's some music worth checking out:

The List: Vol. 2

Not just any list...The List. Here's some stuff worth checking out:

TV: Real Time with Bill Maher - So, you still don't have HBO? Get on it, dummy. I hate to admit it, but I get, like, 50% of my news from Bill. He tries to be even-handed, but really he's a crazy liberal just like me. Thank God.

Music: Acid Tongue by Jenny Lewis - The Rilo Kiley front woman has a new solo album and it's totally rad. Spanning genres and time periods, Jenny rocks a little harder and pays quasi-homage to Barbara Streisand with an 8 minute medley. That's my kinda of gal.

Book: Generation Kill - The brilliant mini-series on HBO wasn't enough...I had to check out the source material by Evan Wright, a reporter embedded with Recon Marines during the invasion of Iraq. The Marines are so amazing. You couldn't create characters this interesting or hilarious.

Sports Team: Tampa Bay Rays - Not to beat a dead horse, but you basically have until Friday to choose between good and evil. I have faith in you all to do the right thing (well, except for Liz and Jon. They've already made their choice to get behind the new Yankees. Though, I guess they get a pass for actually being from the Boston area. The rest of you, no pass).

I realized I haven't seen any movies recently to add to The List. Lost is consuming my Netflix and friends are consuming my free time (how dare they!). Don't worry. I'll see something this weekend and tell you all about it. Try and make it until then.

State of the Gingers

Round these parts, we are big fans of Jenny Lewis: Indie Rock Ginger Queen. Her new album drops (as the kids would say) later this month (Liz already has an advanced copy. Her friends are so much cooler than mine), but here's a song we can all enjoy. Check it:

Gingers are Doin' it for Themselves

One of our favorite gingers, Jenny Lewis (front woman for "indie" rock band Rilo Kiley), is reportedly recording a new solo album. I report this for three reasons:

1. Liz is Rilo Kiley's #1 Fan - Seriously. The night I met her she had a Rilo Kiley button on her cowgirl costume.

2. Rabbit Fur Coat was Awesome - Jenny's first solo album is an incredible blend of indie rock/country/folk. Pick it up immediately if you haven't heard it (and you like indie rock/country/folk). I dare say, it is better then Rilo Kiley's latest effort.

3. Jenny Lewis is Fascinating - I won't say I'm obsessed with her, because I'm not. I just find her life incredible. She was a child actress (she played Shelly Long's daughter in everyone's favorite homage to cookie sales, Troop Beverly Hills), became the darling of indie music and dated Jake Gyllenhaal. She basically has the life I always wanted. I'd hate her if she wasn't a redhead. Kinda like LiLo.

It's cookie time
