Becker, Fagen and Anderson
Walter Becker and Donald Fagen (a.k.a. "Mr. Steely Dan") have struck again, this time writing to sometime Owen Wilson colleague Wes Anderson. The idea is to get Wes to convince Fox Searchlight to fork over $400 grand for the rights to two songs Becker and Fagin have composed for Wes's forthcoming The Darjeeling Limited, which was offically announced yesterday in Variety. Here's the lyrics to the chrous from the first song: "Darjeeling Limited / That's the train I wanna get kissed on / Darjeeling Limited / But I'll be lucky if I don’t get pissed on."

Fox Searchlight! What about Barry Mendal?
Blah, blah, Bottle Rocket and Rushmore are classics- Wes's best- we all know that. I have to confess I've really warmed to Tenenbaums which I like a very much but I'm also comfortable admitting that The Life Aquatic sucks. Wes can make his characters as eccentric as he wants but he'd be wiser to let them live in the "real world" instead of neon claymation India.
