Likely Looks: Meiko - Boys With Girlfriends

There is something about Meiko that takes her out of that typical "singer/songwriter" genre and makes her a little more unique.

With her first video for "Boys With Girlfriends", Meiko is caught running around LA and away from the girlfriend (aka a big giant pluhie bear dressed in pink).

I think I would have run away from a giant plushie as well...

Oh, and she's also on the Hotel Cafe tour if you want to catch her

Likely Listens - Meiko

With just the right amount of well...everything, its time for the world to meet Meiko.

Hailing from Georgia and currently residing in Los Angeles, the singer/songwriter got her start at the Hotel Cafe. Now she has a record deal with Lucky Ear/MySpace/DGC Records and is slowly creeping the way into the hearts of everyone that listens to her.

She just re-released her self titled album on August 5th and for a bit of time if you purchase the album you get a limited addition acoustic EP (see it DOES pay to buy an album!). You can purchase the record HERE

Also, for your listening pleasure here is an MP3 of a track from the album called "Under My Bed":

Meiko - Under My Bed

This record is amazing...do yourself and your Top 10 list a favor a pick it up!
