Jason Schwartzman will always be the lovable dorky Max Fischer from Rushmore, but before he won our hearts on the big screen he was a musician. Jason was the original drummer for The OC theme song band Phantom Planet. He left the band a couple years back and recently released some solo music entitled Coconut Records.
"The wonderful thing about Coconut Records is it happened by accident," he told Ourstage.com, "There isn’t really a precident for what the next album will be like."
He continued, "The idea that people would show so much support just because they like something is… well, I am grateful and I thank everybody out there and I can’t believe that people heard the record and liked it enough to support it.”
He isn’t the only Schwartzman in the music-making biz. His younger brother, Robert, is lead singer in Rooney. And Jason knows the one way to win a girl’s heart is not by taking them to one of his brother’s shows. He said, "Chicks love my brother. I wouldn’t take a girl to a Rooney concert; I’d take them to dinner."

Owen Wilson Returns
October 5th, 2007 / Author: cwillett
Of all the stars expected to attend last night’s L.A. premiere of new film The Darjeeling Limited, star Owen Wilson was certainly not one of them. And yet, there he was — only weeks after his suicide attempt — on stage with the film’s director, Wes Anderson, and co-stars, Adrian Brody, Natalie Portman and Jason Schwartzman.
Though Owen skipped the traditional red carpet proceedings at the event, slipping into the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre via a private entrance, he did make a surprise appearance with the film’s cast and crew before the screening began. And while Owen didn’t say anything, frequent collaborator Anderson, who shared an Oscar-nomination with Wilson for their Royal Tennenbaum’s screenplay, did say about his troubled friend, "I’ve never made a movie without him, and I hope I never have to."
In the film, Owen plays one of three brothers who set out on a spiritual quest aboard a train through rural India. This marks the fifth time he and college pal Wes Anderson have worked together on a feature film, dating back to their indie hit Bottle Rocket, which also introduced Owen’s younger brother, Luke, to film audiences.
The Darjeeling Limited
September 27th, 2007
(Fox Searchlight)
Starring: Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Adrien Brody
Three estranged American brothers try to reconnect in a bizarre trip to India. At first the dark comedy pulls you in, but half way through it gets quite stale.
