Joaquin Phoenix, whose voice you’ve already -masturbated- listened to in Walk the Line, is creating an album with the Charlatans’ Tim Burgess. Because he knows how to play the guitar and he’s famous, so why not:

“Once he learned guitar, he found that he had quite a lot of demons inside himself that he wanted to expel through music,” says Burgess, who has been mixing the record alongside Alan McGee, the Charlatans’ manager and former head of U.K. independent label Creation Records.

Music or Beano. Whatever works.

But it seems that the perfectionism that has brought Phoenix acclaim as an actor could prevent the record from ever seeing the light of day.

“All the tracks that me and Alan worked with him on were brilliant,” says Burgess. “But I think he just keeps scrapping everything or redoing everything. I’m sad to say that I think it’s one of those records that may never come out, to be honest with you.”

Oh, what a shame. Fun fact: Did you know Joaquin’s middle name is Rafael? And that he was born in San Juan? We did, because he’s our husband.

    He actually changed his name to Leaf early on to match his siblings’ nature-ish names (River, Rain, Summer, Mosquito Bite) but then changed it back to his birth name. I know this either because he whispered it in my ear during our honey moon or because it’s in Wikipedia.

    Silly girls. Joaquin and I sprang in tandem from adjacent wombs in the lovely island of San Juan Bautista de Puerto Rico some decades ago… We held each other tight while in the incubator while making umbilical cord stemcell blood bonds swearing we would never part ways. It’s a bond that lasts to this day.
