Starting Now

Grey's Anatomy is one of the few shows -- nay, the only show -- I cannot miss. It's the show that the Talk crew dissects at the virtual water cooler, the show whose website I actually visit (take the quiz: which Grey's heroine are you most like? Me, I'm a Callie), and the show whose soundtrack makes me exclaim when I hear an obscure song I thought only I knew about (Ok, no one's ever really the only one to know about a song anymore, but it is a remix of a song that's reasonably obscure to begin with). Well, it turns out the folks at Grey's really do work hard to find that special song for each scene, scouring MySpace for unsigned artists with just the right sound. One of those lucky artists is Ingrid Michaelson. She's had four songs on the show this season, including last Thursday night's finale... an honor that has not only heightened her profile, but lined her pockets so that she can be one of the lucky few who makes her living off her music.
