“I want you, and no one….no one else will do” I’ve got this song in my head and I love it. It’s a fun, catchy song with some smooooooth vocals and jazzy piano and accompaniment. I’d say it’s probably about once every three weeks or so I’m lucky enough to stumble on a song I can play over and over and over with a grin on my face. This is one of those songs and I like it so much it gets its own post just so I can recommend it.
Rachel Yamagata, I Want You
Go ahead and get yourself a copy. It’s real nice. After you listen to it a few times, hit me back…does it remind you of anyone, or anything…does its musical style evoke thoughts of a particular group or dynamic…is it great or excellent…is it too good for words? I don’t know. Keep the hits coming.
Last night I was directed to listen to some New Pornographers, so tonight I’ll try and hear some of their stuff…if I can stop listening to Rachel here for long enough.

I saw her at the Austin City Limits Festival a few weeks ago (you know, the one with a million good bands). She was very, very awesome--well worth the near death experience of waiting for her to go on in direct sunlight when the temperature was 108 (no lie).
She was also very funny, as she completely shorted out her amp when she kicked a beer onto it by accident. Heh. I know that I thought that she reminded me of someone while she was playing, but I'll have to get back to you with who it was.
OK, she makes me think of Ani DiFranco combined with Norah Jones on the vocals.
Hmm, whoever told you about this Rachael girl is AMAZING.
