my new favorite song!

and the video is super-cute, too (see bottom of post for song/video). unfortunately, regina spektor's other songs are good, but i haven't found one as awesome as this one. i'm suffering lately from massive girl-singer crushes, whoa. i might have to consider becoming a lesbian for these ladies, i'm so in love with them, esp their INCREDIBLY SEXY VOICES. first it was the chick from feist, who i found irresistible in both style, songs, dance moves ... [wistful sigh. see awesome videos for "1, 2, 3, 4" and "my moon, my man."]

then it was rachael yamagata [click for her new album teaser, here for a great song.] since she plays piano like regina spektor and looks a lot like feist lady, i'm starting to see a trend ... and it involves HEAVY BANGS.

then there's lily allen. oh, lily. [sorry for that.] you also have fantastic bangs. i love the london accent, christ i love it. you're pregnant now, so i sort of hate you for that. (especially because you're like, 12). but your "LDN" song makes me smile like a crazy person and speed WAY TOO FAST when i listen to it in the car.

and you might recall my Ode to the Juno Soundtrack post from december, with its appropriate shout-out to kimya dawson. no need to say the same thing twice. (except i will add that i've now seen juno TWICE and it was hands-down my favorite movie of the year. i laughed. i cried. and then did both of those again. diablo cody better win the oscar for best original screenplay, or somebody from the AMPAS will ... feel my seething anger from across the continent. or something).

as usual, i got a little off-track. fabulous, eerily-similarly-looking hot girl musicians i adore. (norah jones, you were, of course, the first -- but that was years ago. do you have bangs now? i'd like to include you here, but am not sure. so sorry about your break-up. i heard. they SUCK ASS.)

without further ado, "fidelity" by regina spektor:
