...I just discovered her about 10 minutes ago from a Youtube clip from Boing Boing -
Here's the original version by Ingrid Michaelson -
Well, for no good reason, I've been up most of the night. For the last few days, I've been having a hard time listening to music. I just couldn't find anything that gel'd with how I was feeling. That is, until now. One of the podcast I listen to is Dave's Lounge. Dave's Lounge is a a podcast for chillout, trip hop and downtempo electronic music. Getting back to my funk, I've been lying here in bed, fighting to find relaxation and stumbled across special episode that featured a track by MinusBlue called Ocean Sky. This song nailed what I was craving for. To find out what I'm talking about, you can listen to the track here - http://www.daveslounge.com/2008/10/22/special-delivery-segment-for-amped-150/
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Doctors have found that prescribing music can improve heart health and lower cholesterol levels. Their research found that if a patient listens to 30 minutes a day of their favourite music, it does more than relaxing them mentally – it also benefits them physically by expanding and clearing blood vessels.

First is the David Bowie/Trent Reznor Song - I'm Afraid of Americans
Not sure why I like this track, but I do. It kind of has this haunting sound to it. I wouldn't listen to this everyday, but it has it's place.
Check out this awesome mashup - The Quietus Mashup. Name all the tracks and you could win an ipod touch.
Here's another interesting music video by the group, The Octopus Project.
Found this on the Listening Post. This is truly an interesting video. The song isn't half bad either.
Stealing this from Boing Boing...
My evening plans fell through. So, instead of doing nothing, I went ahead and did some work at the local coffee shop so I won't have to tomorrow. Below is a shot from my phone which, for some reason made me think of the song by Queensryche - Another Rainy Night, and a girl I once loved...
Here's the lyrics to the song -
(from the album 'Empire')
(Chris DeGarmoEddie JacksonGeoff Tate)
Don't slam the door on your way out
Don't leave without saying goodbye
Another long distance night alone
You leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more
Last word today, coming home to stay?
Wouldn't that be nice, for awhile?
But now my take-out food is growing cold
And the candle's burned a hole in the floor
And I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone
CHORUS
I'm all alone
And it's another rainy night, without you
Guess I'll leave the light on for you
It's just another rainy night without you
Listen, there's a foghorn blowing from the coast tornight
Remember making love in the rain?
Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound
Raindrops taste like tears, without the pain
I'm not much without you, can't leave if I wanted to
Maybe that's why you stay around
But tonight I'll sit here tending the fire
and pace the floor one hundred times in an hour
And check the voice-mail for a message you've called
CHORUS
Waiting by the phone, alone
And it's another rainy night without you
Hate the sound of the closing door
And your footseps walking away
But now my takeout food is growing cold
and the candle's burned a hole in the floor
and I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone
CHORUS
