Ah, the confluence of movies and music, it’s a beautiful place, no? Today’s absurdist news comes from folk rock fruitcake Devendra Banhart who apparently made his bff Lindsay Lohan a “get well!” mixtape for her to survive rehab.
According to Wenn.com, Banhart – who let Lohan during an Interview interview in April – was so concerned with her welfare he made a soothing mix of tranquil and easy going songs. “I made two mix CDs for her. I put Nico, Vashti Bunyan, Captain Beefheart, Caetano Velso and Joanna Newsome on there,” Banhart said (we’ll assume the Beefheart was for the inevitable relapse moments, Trout Mask Replica, anyone?)
The two apparently bonded over the sundrenched sounds of the Mac. “She totally dug the [mixes]. We ended up talking about Fleetwood Mac who we’re both obsessed with.”
Indie-rockers and US Weekly readers take note, the freak folker says Lohan is getting better, although they haven’t been in contact of late. “I haven’t talked to her recently. She’s taking care of herself. I’m trying to give her some space, because I think now is a tough time for her.”
