We here at Indie Schmarm feel it is our duty to not only report the news, but now to also give a weekly recommendation of things that we feel are deemed worthy of our attention. We’ve decided to bring out the big guns and encompass multiple categories such as books, film, T.V., food, sites, culture, activities and of course music.

This last week’s Indie Schmarm recommendations:

The Music:

Jackson Browne - For Everyman

Good vibes! Such very good vibes. And look at Jackson, all laid back and business casual in his lil’ Spanish villa. I swear every well-to-do baby boomer saw this album cover and decided they’d finally found their own Utopian vision of themselves in middle-age. The people who make Dockers khakis owe their lives to this guy.

The Movie:

The Blues Brothers

It’s very funny, but in a Futurama kind of way. You don’t really laugh out loud. Maybe a few chuckles. You just get filled with a sense of general well being and of kinship with these brosephs that no “Blues Brothers 2000″ schlock-fest could ever undo. And I know if I were God I would hand pick these two for any and every mission I could muster.
