back to beautiful, talented female songwriters...ingrid michaelson is someone i was admittedly too snobbish to initially check out, given that the only exposure i had to her was the use of her song "the way i am" in a commercial for old navy. recently, . her latest cd, girls and boys , showed up on emusic and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to give the girl a spin and a chance. my instant reaction: wow, what a fool i had been to initially dismiss her. the album starts off with "die alone", a song that would have [...]
theme of the week: lesser known songs of religiously followed indie artists 1. Breakable by Ingrid Michaelson ingrid michaelson's best known song is "the way i am" of Old Navy commercial fame. this song, like all of those on her CD, is very soft and deep. the lyrics at first seem strangely uncoherant, but are (of course) pulled together by the second half of the first verse. Ingrid Michaelson: Breakable 2. On the Radio by Regina Spektor regina spektor's "fidelity" is [...]
DATELINE: Boston, MA A SILLY GOOD LIVE SHOW - One of the hottest tickets these days is probably one of the most talented and unlikely. (Wasn't it just yesterday that America was enraptured with bubblegum rock and Britney Spears?) David Ford (an RSL favorite) is a remarkable singer-songwriter from the UK. His song lyrics and presentation strike at the heart and his music soothes the soul. He appears at a very nearly sold-out two night stand at the Paradise Lounge in Boston. Headlining [...]
theme of the week: best commercial songs 1. 1234 by Feist feist was the quintessentially fantastic indie singer/songwriter until her fame hit a high with the opening of the apple commercial featuring this song. her voice is so very mellow, and her songs are absolutely enchanting: i'm glad the world has now been introduced to the mysterious marvel that is leslie feist. Feist: 1234 2. The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson this is the mellow girl [...]

ingrid michaelson - the way i am [ link 2 ] [i was part of the wave that discovered ingrid via greys anatomy at the end of 2006. but to see her ascent into mainstream culture via the old navy ad and now VH1 is pretty darn amazing (especially for a self released artist from staten island). DIY artists are really making their mark this year and i love nothing but to give them props when they deserve it!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld

Staten Island, NY Ingrid Michaelson gained a lot of attention after whoring her music out to the fine people at Grey's Anatomy . Nicely done! She's doing some live sets these days, with the closest show to DC being in Vienna, VA - November 17 at Jammin' Java. "Breakable" Ingrid Michaelson on MySpace Ingrid Michaelson on The Hype Machine
Mmmmm.... Pretty There must be something in the ink at Advertising Age magazine. How else to explain such disparate agencies coming up with simultaneous campaigns which each use cool, sexy, hypnotic female vocals in the songs for their TV commercials? If you're like me, when you hear a cool song, and don't know who recorded it, you will drive yourself CRAZY trying to find out. The first ad wasn't too difficult. It was Feist , doing "1-2-3-43 in the Apple iPod commercial. [...]
The game's on tonight. I love taking three or four hours to watch baseball -- the pace of it, the grace and the subtlety. I am having so much fun watching The Rockies' brand of baseball - it's young and hardworking and fun, and it's all coming together for them into a very very likely World Series run (becoming more likely after that 4th inning tonight)! It's a fun time to live in Colorado. They need to win one more against the Diamondbacks to go to the Series, and this Giants fan is cheering for them without qualms. [...]
(Note: Chris is going to hate me for posting this song. Maybe if he's gracious and in a good mood, he might just rip me a new one with a choice remark, but here goes...) Ingrid Michaelson, for all intents and purposes, is the 2008 version of Lisa Loeb. With hipster glasses and long red hair (and probably an affinity for multi striped scarves and wool skirts), she is the poster child for coffee shop singer-song writing. Plus she is from Staten Island. Plus this song has been featured in a commercial for [...]
W ith more autumn-like weather descended upon Chicago and the days quickly getting shorter, it finally feels like the summer is completely over. It is a sad realization that another summer has passed us by and it is time to break out your sweaters and gloves. Hopefully the following collection of red-hot songs will warm you up and keep you toasty through the weekend. MP3 | Beirut - La Banlieu MP3 | Jimmy Eat World [...]
Filed under: What's That Song? Spinner.com : 'The Way I Am,' by Ingrid Michaelson Few things say autumn like cozy sweaters. Old Navy knows this and is looking to cash in on this fact with the help of unsigned MySpace wonder Ingrid Michaelson's cuddly song 'The Way I Am' in its TV ad touting... Read more
Ingrid Michaelson - The Way I Am She could hear him making breakfast in the next room. She thought about when she'd ever been happier, and she couldn't come up with another instance. Was this, then, her happiest? Did people know they were living their happiest moment while they were living it? Of course not, she snickered, that's why we keep living, not knowing that we've already reached our
Would you laugh at me if I told you I wasn't able to sleep after my nightly dose of Conan one fine September evening? Would laugh even harder if I told you I actually watched the entirety of Last Call with the insidious Carson Daly? Unfortunately, Carson Daly isn't (at all) the equivalent to a soothing glass of nocturnal milk but I was grateful for the musical act he played host to that night. Ingrid Michaelson may best be described as a sedated Regina Spektor meets Lisa Loeb, a sort of soothing/pop concoction that [...]
Months ago, I was browsing thru my hard drive, weeding out songs I no longer listen to and making a list of artists to check on at a later date. I put Ingrid Michaelson in that playlist. Then I forgot about her. Last week, I heard her song "The Way I Am". Not only was I taken back by her sweet sounding voice, but I could relate to the line about Rogaine. The song can now be heard in a Old Navy commercial. [...]
