I'm the worst when it comes to keeping up with the latest celebrity gossip and news (mostly because I don't really care), but this news of Scarlett Johansson marrying Ryan Reynolds is just depressing.  I mean, she's incredible and he's the guy who was once in a TV show about a pizza place.  Let's figure out a way to veto that shit.  Alright, as you think that over, check out the new Blitzen Trapper song that I found over at My Old Kentucky Blog.  It's apparently an original track that was written for the soundtrack to Choke, which also has material from Nicole Atkins And The Sea, the Natural History, Death Cab For Cutie and many more.  I've heard good things about the flick, so maybe the stellar collection of tunes put together to support it will make us all go see it.  Enjoy.

:Blitzen Trapper - Wicked:  I really have to go on and give these guys credit for seemingly doing all that they can to constantly push out a variety of sounds.  For example, you could just consider their singles over the last year or so and see that they've provided classic rock, Bob Dylan-esque folk and, now, an oddly edgy rock piece that feels lifted straight out of the mid-90s.  Such wavering tendencies is probably frustrating for some, but on my end I'm loving that I have no idea as to what I should expect.  Here's hoping they keep up these shenanigans.

Wild Mountain Nation is one of my favorite songs by Blitzen Trapper, so I'm a little surprised that I don't remember ever seeing this video.  I blame the moon.
