2 reasons to go to the Hotel Cafe . . . Chris Garneau & Ingrid Michaelson!

There are always so many great bands playing @ the Hotel Cafe . . . here's 2 shows I strongly reccomend. (that is, if you have good taste in music! haha)


TONIGHT - Friday, June 1st @ 9pm - CHRIS GARNEAU

Thursday, June 7th @ 9pm - INGRID MICHAELSON

If you are a fan of Grey's Anatomy, you most definatly know about Ingrid Michaelson. Below is a clip from the finale, which features Ingrid's song "Keep Breathing". This scene is so powerful, goosebumps and waterworks are inevitable. The song fits so perfectly.

I've been a fan of Ingrid's since I read about her on a few blogs about a year ago.


INGRID MICHAELSON "THE WAY I AM" (live)

Ingrid pretty much won the music placement to TV lottery - getting hired to create a song for the finale of Grey's Anatomy. Last year, this coveted slot went to Snow Patrol. Go see Ingrid @ Hotel Cafe on Thursday, June 7th before she becomes a household name.

*fun fact - Ingrid Michaelson was the #2 most searched item on Google the day after the Grey's episode aired. #1 searched item was "Keep Breathing" the title of the song! Congrats Ingrid! Can't wait to see ya & meet ya next week!

The Cribs Video - banned from MTV2

THE CRIBS "MEN'S NEEDS" video

THE CRIBS MYSPACE

I didn't like The Cribs until I heard this new song "Men's Needs". I wasn't a fan of "Hey Scenesters" or any song really from the last album . . . but that all changed when my friend Rachel played me this track in her car a few months ago.

Great song - crazy video. Too crazy for MTV2 UK I guess. Do you agree?

Jeff Buckley - has it been 10 yrs already?

I was reading I Am Fuel, You Are Friends blog today (another HEATHER, far better writer and blogger, with amazing taste in music) she reminded me that tomorrow is the 10 yr anniversary of Jeff Buckley's untimely death.

It was May 29th, 1997. I can't believe it's been 10 yrs. I wish I had gotten the chance to see him play live . . .
