Choker
A blonder, bangier(?) Bijou Phillips has been making the party rounds at Sundance this past week in support of Choke, Clark Gregg’s adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s much-adored sicko coffee-table novel in which she stars with eternal Hollywood bridesmaid Sam Rockwell. Fox Searchlight just picked up the low budge black laugher for a cool $5 million. Yay.
Remember MySpace? Us neither. Anywho, sometime songbird Bijou has posted a new tune, a typically breathy, baby-whispered toss off called “When The Girl Is Lying” on her MySpage. So eat it, Zooey Deschanel. And, please, don’t remind us, Scarlett Johansson.
Beej’s hair is bigger or something. Better than ever.
can’t think of a better mouthpiece for Palahniuk than Rockwell.
I love me some Zooey..and Heather Fuelfriends? Best music read on the tubes for a long time running now..
The sticky, uninspired guitar’s up too far in the mix and Zoooooey’s vocals are too far down. Whelming, to say the very least.

the bits I’ve seen of Choke have been muy entertaining. it is low budge but the poor quality of the film doesn’t take away from the writing. works with it, in fact.
