YouTubeWed -- #001

(i wanted to make it YouTubeTuesdays, but tuesdays are when new releases come out and that might be too much on one day. then i was thinking about thursdays, but i don't like how that YouTubeThursdays sounds. So wednesday won because i needed a day.)

Brandi Carlile - The Story (live on conan)


I love this song for many reasons but the main one is when her voice sounds horse and crackly. And apparently when it happens live, i love it even more. It isn't perfect but i think that adds to the song. She has an amazing voice so she could have worked it to sound flawless. However, the rawness of those moments adds another dimension to the song and the feelings behind it. The record this comes off of is great as well, it upstaged her first record by miles.

She is playing two dates in new york on the VH1's 'You Oughta Know' tour with A Fine Frenzy on Oct 3rd & 4th at Irving Plaza. I'm not going to either, which i know i am going to be sad about on Oct 5th.
