Jesus of Cool: Kay Hanley & the Pussycats
You mean it wasn't Rachael Leigh Cook singing as Josie but Kay Hanley from Letters To Cleo? (makes mental note should he ever appear on QI).

Costume Vs. Cosplay: What a Stormtrooper Is Made Of
This American Life style expose of the 501st Legion. If Lucas wants to include stormtroopers in the new tv series, it would be wrong not to employ these guys.
