Indie girls, Acid songs

"There is, then, something unintentionally ironic about the word “infinite” in the film’s title. That word is supposed to imply, I guess, that that magical moment can go on forever—that the point in time where one is so in love that one just wants to make mix tapes for the other person doesn’t have to fade. There’s another word for being stuck infinitely in the same place. That word is hell. [...] Because despite Norah finally finding a guy that will bring her to orgasm and despite Nick finding a girl who will listen to and appreciate his mix tapes and despite Caroline’s relief that this time when she woke up from passing out the strange guys in the van she found herself in were not trying to rape her and despite the glee of an auditorium full of fans who would give their right pinkie to share a vomit flavored wad of gum with Kat Dennings or Michael Cera there was a sheen of sadness that permeated from the very pores of this film".

Michael Cera in "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist".
''I don't really think of it as a movie about being a teenager,'' says Cera, whose character, Nick, is a Yugo-driving aspiring rocker recently dumped by his girlfriend (Alexis Dziena). ''It's just about that feeling you get when you meet someone you like one night, and how you run the risk of easily losing touch with them forever.'' Dennings agrees. ''Yeah, there's always that threat in this movie,'' she says. ''They don't know each other's last names, and might not even meet again on Facebook!''

"Femme fatale Jenny Lewis has never sounded so passionate and her songs never so hard-hitting and acerbic as on her aptly titled solo disk Acid Tongue. The album follows 2006’s Rabbit Fur Coat (which Spin named among the best albums of that year) and a series of acclaimed albums with indie rock fave Rilo Kiley". Source: indiepassion.blogspot.com
