My friend, D, turned me on to Imogen Heap recently. I had been a big fan of Immi from listening to Frou Frou, which you can see is in heavy rotation on my iTunes/iPod. Anyway, when D told me to peep a few tracks of Speak for Yourself on the iTunes store, I immediately came back

with, "doesn't that sound a lot like Frou Frou to you". I didn't know Imogen's name yet at the time. One of the down sides of buying music from the iTunes store is you don't get liner notes.
Anyway, I've been digging Imogen these last few weeks and caught her on Last Call with Carson Daly this week performing "Hide and Seek" and "Say Goodnight and Go". If you haven't heard her before, do check her out. In the world of electronica, she's unique. Her songs are all about the vocals and lyrics, but the hooky music is also incredibly infectious and danceable. You can preview and buy the album on iTunes or at Amazon.
Here are the videos of the performance on Carson Daly. Great performance. I dig seeing all that gear.

Getting the video to Quicktime was an interesting story too because I don't have a direct connection from my TV to my Mac. If I can get geeky on you, here's what I did to get the video:
1) Tivo'd Carson Daly Show
2) Recorded to my DVD player/recorder from Tivo
3) Ripped the DVD video to my Mac using Handbrake
4) Edited and compressed using iMovie
Rawwkin! A circuitous process, but it worked. Enjoy.
