DW: This is Dan Wilcox from KCRW and I have the pleasure of sitting here with husband and wife director duo Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. Their feature film directorial debut was the critically-acclaimed “Little Miss Sunshine” and now they're back with Ruby Sparks, which I had the pleasure of working on as music supervisor. Today we're going to be talking about the songs that have inspired them over the years as part of KCRW's Guest DJ Project. Welcome Jonathan and Valerie.
