NEW MUSIC TO FEED YOUR EARS:

hands down,

hands up

in the air over there,

this is my new favorite band,

maybe in YEARS.

-

part garbage

part ting tings

part eurythmics

. . . undescribably addictive listening

june playlist -

for you whom are musically inclined,
and have liked my picks in the past,
i give you what's fresh in my head,
what's spinnin the hard drive,
what's playin in my loop, this month:

1) nicole atkins - "maybe tonight" (the song in the old navy mtv awards spot)

2) sisters of mercy - "this corrosion"

3) semi-precious weapons - "magnetic baby"

4) fort minor - "petrified"

5) lights - "last thing on your mind" (the song in the may old navy commercial)

6) imogen heap - "speeding cars"

7) spoon - "you've got your cherry bomb"

8) ben onono - "caramel"

9) office - "oh my"

10) duffy - "mercy"

(and if you haven't, BUY nicole atkins' album.
and lights' new ep on itunes.
go on now.
i've never misled you here.)

the song in the february old navy commercial is:

"february air" by this little girl:

her name is lights
(one word. like iman. or madonna. or landis.)

i found her on myspace, and have LOVED her music for almost a year. finally had a chance to use her, and so she's the "voice" of the episodes for the next four commercials/long forms. it was great how her songs matched our stories. . . perfectly.

and she's a freakin delight. so gifted, writing and performing all her own stuff. . .

another find, i'm sharing with you.

(and remember, you can see it all, including lookbook and cast and music,
at: www.oldnavy.com/next)

the november playlist -

ok,
my friends have been bugging me to start sharing my music with them. something about always having great songs on my ipod and never sharing them, blah blah blah . . .

and look! a blog with which to do it! how convenient!

i'm starting simple. this is the list of artists from the old navy commercials for this year:

dresses:
believer - the rogue traders

shorts:
watching you - the rogue traders

summerland:
world go round - the rogue traders

diva denim:
blue alert - madeline peyroux

fair isle sweaters:
the way i am - ingrid michaelson

and a tease for the holiday season, we've locked in :
stars - the weepies

(i CAN NOT tell you how much i recommend going to itunes NOW
and downloading every album the weepies have done.
i found them through mandy moore.

don't mock. i am a huge fan of mandy moore, always have been.
i bought HER playlist off of itunes, and the weepies were on it.

since then, every person who has followed my lead has loved them,
worshiped them,
and thanked me profusely with gifts. you'll see.)
