Gray matter
I must admit I have never been the biggest David Gray fan, but with all the hype around his tour to S.A and me being someone who claims to appreciate all types of music, I though I'd see if I could get tickets. Hmmm, well turns out the concert was great, yip silly me... didn't realise it was last weekend. It's kinda what I did in Aspen, thought I'd go and see Seal, but when I got paid and went to purchase my ticket, to my surprise all the tickets were gone. It happens, and hey I got to see Seal, and lovely wife Heidi Klum in my shop. Turns out I missed him in S.A this weekend too. But that's ok I won't be missing anymore of my favourite artists, and that is because I want to learn about one musical artist every week. That's my new thing, so please can you send your suggestions as to who you think I should learn/educate people on each week. This week due to my slowness I'll be doing Mr Gray himself:
The 1st Fact of the week:
David Gray has released seven albums to date. That's hectic. There I was thinking that he only had two big songs, "Babylon" and "Sail Away". In fact his last album "Life in Slow Motion" went triple platinum. Some of other albums include "A New Day At Midnight," "Lost Songs" and "Sell, Sell, Sell" from 1996. Yip for the B.A students out there that's right... ten years ago. Stay tuned for more facts on David Gray.
Oh and don't forget if you like Dharma and Greg, the entire season will be released on DVD tomorrow. I for one can't wait. Until tomorrow.
Well Jas, I personally think that you should be focusing on artists like david gray, people who know how to play their own instruments. I.e: NO PUSSY CAT DOLLS, BRITNEY Beers OR ANY OTHER WANNA BE MUSICIAN!!!!!!!!! :) jokes.
but i think you should look at bands like Hawthorne heights, Fall out boy, Orson, Kubb, Gnarls Barkley, Fort Minor, Dispatch. There is a huge movement toward indie, punk, alt rock. check it out, its everywhere!! also, Check out the new streets single: Never went to church, brilliant.
anyways, thats my musical hi!!
Check u soon my man!
