Jason Schwartzman is more than Wes Anderson ’ s muse and a hipster god . He ’ s also a musician ( and Nicolas Cage ’ s cousin ). The former drummer for Phantom Planet , Schwartzman now releases music through his solo indie rock act Coconut Records . He scored Judd Apatow ’ s Funny People , and he wrote the theme song for his HBO show Bored to Death . He has also worked with Zooey Deschanel ( more on her later ), co-writing the song “ Sweet Darlin ,” which appeared on She & Him ’ s Volume One . If you ’ re part of a Wes Anderson fan club that meets monthly , Schwartzman ’ s music is the perfect soundtrack . Also , if you play his first album along with The Darjeeling Limited on mute , it syncs up perfectly . Just kidding , I ’ ve never tried that , but maybe you should .
