Scarlett Johansson Covers the Cure on iTunes Live EP

Right this instant, should you choose to, you can flip on over to the iTunes music store and get yourself the seven song iTunes Live Session EP from noted actress and Tom Waits aficionado Scarlett Johansson.

On the EP, Johansson runs through five of her familiar Waits covers from the recent Anywhere I Lay My Head LP, a take on Franks Wild Years' "Innocent When You Dream" (which does not appear anywhere on Anywhere), and a typically woozy spin on the Cure's immortal "Boys Don't Cry".

Early customer reviews on the EP are far from positive, but then again, do you really trust the opinion of anybody with the handle "IndieMusicSUX"? Exactly. The set arrives courtesy of Periwinkle/Rhino/Warner.

In other Scarlett news, her third pairing with director Woody Allen, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, hits theaters later this summer.

01 Anywhere I Lay My Head
