berkeley girl

i just couldn't wait until video vendredi to post this. stumbled upon this song this morning *swoon*. the video, starring Jena Malone, was directed by LA-based film collective/production company The Masses, and the song - titled Berkeley Girl - is by singer/songwriter Harper Simon. if you detect a bit of Simon-n-Gunfarkel [that's not a typo, that's what my mom always calls them] influence, it may interest you to know that 37 year old Harper is in fact the son of Paul Simon himself. lovely song, don't you think? damn sight better than Jacob Dylan, that's for sure!
