For several years now, one of my life’s missions has been to find the producers of Old Navy commercials and beat each and every one of them repeatedly about the head and face with a blunt object.

Consider yourselves forgiven, Old Navy assholes.

If you are chilly, Ingrid Michaelson will gladly give you her sweater. Because she loves the way you call her baby.

To hell with the sweater, Ingrid. Just come over here and give me some of that face.

You can listen to The Way I Am, which will probably, tragically, end up known as "The Old Navy Song", as well as other selected tracks, at Ingrid’s Myspace page. (We’ll forgive her for having a Myspace page… sigh… I suppose if it works for such magnificent bastards as C Gibbs and Mike Doughty… )

And while you’re there, you can have a gander at this:

Oh my.

She’s good. (You can have my man card when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.) Very good. I suppose Apple Corp. will be getting some more of my money after I download and install the latest release of iTunes like it seems I have to do every friggin’ time I open the damn thing.

Fantastic voice. Elegant musical simplicity. Sweet lyrics. What’s not to love? And have I mentioned the face? (By the way, chicks with glasses? Oh yeah.)

Here’s her actual web site.

Think she takes marriage proposals via email?
