Priscilla Ahn's Music on Grey's Anatomy

I fell in love with Priscilla Ahn's EP (and her voice, lyrics and wacky personality) this spring, after seeing her back up Joshua Radin on a YouTube video and tracking her down. I have been keeping an eye out for what's happening in her world because I know it's bound to be good - especially since she hangs out with the likes of Joshua Radin and Carey Brothers at the Hotel Cafe and on tour.

I'm really excited because I just read on Priscilla's MySpace blog that she is going to to have a song featured on Grey's Anatomy. She doesn't say which one - anyone want to place bets on Dream?


Feed and email readers may need to come to the blog to see the video

UPDATE 11/9/2007: The song that ended up being on Grey's Anatomy was Rain. As of this writing, you can listen to it for free on Priscilla's MySpace, or buy it on iTunes

Here's hoping the Grey's exposure will give Priscilla the same type of recognition that Ingrid Michaelson got from having music on the show, because she definitely deserves it!



See more Priscilla videos on YouTube. She has fun with things like looping and kazoos, depending on the song. :)

Fresh and Green - Music for Spring!

Originally posted on my MySpace blog.

One of the "dangers" of MySpace (and the internet in general) for me is the way I can so easily discover great new musicians. It's a blessing and a curse, because while I can often get my fix by listening to music players on websites, if it's good stuff I'll want to take it with me, which means racking up a bill on iTunes.

Here's my three most recently added to my library:

Jose Gonzales - one of his songs is featured on bouncy ball advertisement that I've been mesmerized by the past few days. (while you're there, check out the exploding paint and the behind the scenes footage too. I'm in awe of the kind of people who can come up with such outrageous and beautiful ideas.)

Anaïs Mitchell - love this girl. She's been to Cafe Paradiso twice now and I was trying to hold out for her to come back so I could buy her new album from her in person but we're not on her near future schedule and I couldn't wait any longer. Had it on repeat for for a few times around at work, and again this morning. It's funny the whole live vs recorded thing. I listened to the recording of "Your Fonder Heart" online very shortly after her last concert and I was a little disappointed because it didn't have quite the same gorgeous ache i remembered when it was just her and the guitar a few feet away from me, but really how could it? And now, after the memory of the concert has faded by many months, the CD version is beautiful and wonderful and I had it on repeat many times over because I just couldn't get enough.

Priscilla Ahn - Finally found her after trying to track down who was singing with Joshua Radin on one of his songs (he's coming to Iowa City next month! Imogen Heap just mixed one of his songs!). Beautiful and whimsical stuff. sigh.

So now I've got plenty of fresh, heart happy music to go with the happy feelings in my heart from the new spring grass creeping in!
