Rilo Kiley Does Porn

Jenny Lewis and Co. have a new song and video up at www.themoneymake.com, appropriately titled "The Moneymaker." The video is prefaced by nine minutes of interviews with porn stars, some of which have awesome names like 'Tommy Gunn' and 'Faye Runaway.' Names like that make me wish I could do porn - sigh. The interviews set up the meh video, which would be a complete bore if it weren't for the absolutely gorgeous Lewis (who has never looked better.)

Despite the so-so video, "The Moneymaker" is quickly becoming one of my favorite current songs. The song has a new more dangerous sound that is definitely a departure for Rilo Kiley, one that may be met with screams of despair from hardcore fans. I for one think the new sound is a good thing. While I love "Portions for Foxes" just as much as the next guy, some of the band's other stuff bored me to tears. The bassline and guitar hook have me anticipating the new album more now than ever before.

Under The Blacklight is out on August 21st.
