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.

01 Anywhere I Lay My Head
02 Innocent When You Dream
03 Falling Down
04 I Wish I Was in New Orleans
05 Green Grass
06 Who Are You?
07 Boys Don’t Cry

Scarlett is expected to attend the Democratic National Convention in Denver on August 25.

First up, the Democratic National Convention in Denver, which begins, Monday, Aug. 25. Among the big-name performers likely to make a splash in the Mile High City are hip-hop king Kanye West, reggae/hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean and the rap/rock fusion band N.E.R.D.

A host of silver-screen and TV actors are also expected to be in Denver, according to convention sources, including: the ubiquitous Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, Warren Beatty and wife Annette Bening, Forrest Whitaker, Maggie Gyllenhaal (who stars with the late Heath Ledger and Sen. Patrick Leahy in the new Batman movie The Dark Knight), Cheryl Hines (of Curb Your Enthusiasm, a Sleuth fave) and Ed Norton Jr.
