Imogene Poots, Actor

Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight someone you will be seeing and hearing much of in the future, Firstly, because she's awfully talented, secondly because she's tote fabbo, And thirdly, because she's in just about everything right now, and quite right too. In so much stuff, we are struggling to remember all of it, Let's see now ‚Ä¶ Well, there's the new film by the astounding Terence Malick -- Knight of Cups, Then there is the Soho film, about Paul Raymond, and a couple of rock n' roll movies ‚Ä¶ one about Jimi Hendrix, another about the Buckley Snr. - Greetings from Tim Buckley, And then there is A Long Way Down with Toni Collette, Aaron Paul, Pierce Brosnan, and a mere cough and a spit from the Prop as her Dad. And more.

Here she is, mucho applause por favor, a quiet riot, for the Simply Sublime, the Admirably Adorable, the Greatly Gorgeous -- Imogen Poots!

1.This is the Day - The The

At this point in my life, probably my favourite song. Makes me think of walking along freeways in New Mexico with backpack full of water, in denim overalls feeling all silly and brave (and awesome).

2.Temptation - New Order

Gives you electric bones and then you can dance electronically.

3.I'm the Lover Man - Little Jerry Williams

Yes he was/is/will be.

4.Fare Thee Well, Miss Carousel - Townes Van Zandt

Townes is an extraordinary poet and has a voice that's simultaneously desperate and humble.

5.Cemetery Gates - The Smiths

Wish I could have seen The Smiths play, RATS! Bought Queen is Dead when I was 17 and they were in my ears through last year of school, and ever since. Very special songs. First band I really obsessed over.

6.First We Take Manhattan - Leonard Cohen

Jeez look at all this melancholy men I've got going on. Cohen is my hero.

7.Start of Something - Voxtrot

Wonderful, upbeat, fall in love and stare at them from across the room. Voxtrot are terrific but where the hell have they gone?

8.Bleeker Street - Simon and Garfunkel

I love New York, we're going steady and probably gonna get hitched soon, see you there.

9.Heaven Tonight - Hole

Hole are unreal. Love's voice takes me back to my best friend and I and our weird adventures but then it stayed with me growing up. Adore them.

10.Don't Think Twice It's Alright - Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons

One of my favourite Dylan songs covered. Big on my doo wop so best of two worlds.

11.Swimming Song - Loudon Wainwright III

Brilliant brilliant brilliant. AND it's in the Squid and The Whale.

12.Blood - The Middle East

Stunning song, I've always loved the delicacy and then it builds. Sit on your porch and pluck your strings.

13.Georgia Ray - John Hiatt

Makes me wish I could go for some bourbon with John. He's quite something.

14.A Long Forgotten Fairytale - The Magnetic Fields

Sad and funny. Sunny. what.

15.Astronaut - Beach House

I adore Beach House, exquisite, this song specifically is like three different tracks overlapping it's beautiful.

Thanks Immie! Love ya! Big hand, all you lot, for the lovely Imogen Poots! You're the Best!
