That’s really all what makes life worth living, really.  So I love to hear the music of the musicians that I love. What makes me even more excited is to imagine my fave rock stars hanging out with each other in a romantic way.  So romantic that they in fact turn into ordinary little couples that care about each other and want to cuddle and talk to one another for hours and eventually even make babies together and maybe finally have mundane little lives with children and dogs and a mortgage like me and then I can really feel truly connected to them in the most wonderfully banal way.

It doesn’t matter if in real life they’re already married to someone else or what their sexual orientation might be.  I just want to imagine these people for just a moment as the perfect couple who are incredibly god-like at making music and are also down to earth enough to be looking for love.

These are the imaginary couples who immediately come to mind when I entertain these little musician love fest fantasies.

1) Jim James/Angel Olsen

The child that would come from this couple would definitely have some chops, both vocally and facial hair-wise.  The beautiful ethereal sound produced when these two made love would be enough to rattle the heavens and bring the gods to their knees in tears.  It’s as if you are hearing directly from their souls when they open their mouths to sing. Try these links to decide for yourself:

Angel singing her song The Waiting. Live or recorded, she’s great!

Some great vocal work by Jim from the album Circuital.

2) Father John Misty/St. Vincent

Nothing holier than this union.  The kid born from this duo would have a biting wit and a keen eye for calling out bullshit.  They would have a luxurious singing voice and wicked guitar shredding skills (from mom, obviously).  Finally, mom and dad would bestow upon the child a serious stare and a sharp tongue fit to snap any little minions back into place whenever needed to maintain order.

A great example of St. Vincent shredding it.

3)Carrie Brownstein/Hamilton Leithauser

While these two maybe don’t have a whole lot in common, except writing good lyrics and making a hella lotta noise with their bands, I thought they had good chemistry when I heard Carrie interview Hamilton on Soundcloud.com.  She complimented him, he sounded genuinely flattered and lost for words.  It was sweet.  It made me want to watch them in a romantic comedy which tickled me to no end.

Watch a vid from Hamilton’s solo album here.

See Carrie with her band Sleater Kinney on Letterman recently.

Fun with music stars.  I could do this all day.
