No need to say goodbye

Since it's such a happy Sunday, I thought it warranted two posts (to catch up for my lack thereof in the past week).

So what's everybody's thoughts with all these celebrity turned musicians? Do you think it's fair that they already have a large fan base from which to catapult their musical careers? Can you take them seriously? Or will they forever belong on screen in your eyes? 

Personally, I think they have a chance to be respected as musicians just like everyone else. 

Here's a few things that might help you form your opinion on these celeb/musicmakers:

-A Pfork interview with Scarlett Johansson regarding her upcoming LP of Tom Waits' covers.

-She & Him's Myspace site, ft. the standout vocals of Zooey Deschanel with M. Ward's accompaniment.       

-This video of Tom Felton & his bluesy acoustic guitar.

What do you think?
