How the world perhaps should work?

Watched this episode of Six Feet Under tonight. Heard a nice version of I’m a Lonely Little Petunia In An Onion Patch over the closing credits.

Found this useful music credits page on the HBO website, and identified the singer as Imogen Heap. Searched Google for Imogen Heap and ended up on her website.

Found that Imogen Heap has a weblog (and a moblog). Found this blog post that says, in part:

So i stuck together a load of little video clips i made on my mobile phone while i was on that cycling trip following the River Thames with the original version of “lonely little petunia” i did. Some of you saw it lst night on the “Six feet under episode “the dare” last night. I had a few emails to hear it again. This is the version i did that I like the most xx if some of you prefer the one you heard i’ll get round to sticking that one up too…

Which led me to this Quicktime movie of I’m a Lonely Little Petunia In An Onion Patch sung over a movie shot on a mobile phone (genesis here).

All of which was enough to push me to buy this album from Frou Frou, one half of which is Imogen Heap.

A “perfect storm” of television + website + musician + weblog + mobile phone + ecommerce.

Usually convergence looks like this; thank goodness that’s not all there is.

The movie Garden State, which is about to open, features a track from a Frou Frou. I saw Zach Braff interviewed last night, along with Natalie Portman and Peter Sarsgaard, on Charlie Rose. This probably means we will be hearing more about Imogen Heap soon.
