I dig Hailey Wojcik
I love music that doesn't take itself too seriously. There's plenty of folks out there that simply can't take a song that's a little silly or tongue-in-cheek and it really is a shame because no one ever said that good songs can't also be a bit funny. I say this because Hailey Wojcik's song "Dinosaur Bone" came up during random play on iTunes tonight and it made me remember how charming it is.
Hailey is a quirky singer-songwriter based out of New York (but originally from Michigan), that got some recognition via YouTube when their music editor featured her video for the aforementioned song "Dinosaur Bone", in which she roams the New York streets wearing what looks like a child's dinosaur Halloween costume while singing about her crush on a geologist and how she wishes she were a dinosaur bone because then, as she says "one day you'd really dig me".
Her album is available on iTunes as well as at CDBaby and you can listen to clips of all songs from her album "Jealous Sees" on her website and hear a few whole songs on her MySpace page. But until then, watch her video for "Dinosaur Bone".
