One of the most talented artists to emerge from the UK since Richard Ashcroft
James Morrison has to be one of the UK’s most promising artists in a long time. His incredible blend of blues, soul and alternative rock is mesmerizing. At just 21, he has an extremely promising career ahead of him too. Absorbing influence from greats such as Cat Stevens, Otis Reading and Van Morrison, his debut album Undiscovered shows off the many years of work he has spent on this album.
Undiscovered landed on my doorstep this morning while I was at work of all things!
I rushed home today, ripped open the packaging and flung the cd into my Xbox 360. Ah, sheer bliss it was I tell ya! You can catch two tracks from the album right now on Uk radio - "You give me something", and "Undiscovered". This is what British music is about, none of that manufactured garbage. You can find him also on Myspace.com
So, my good mates on #id on Quakenet who I have known for like 7 long years have finally lost their nerves…they’ve all (almost) signed upto myspace.com !
For those who don’t know, it’s the worlds largest meeting place where you can put up a profile of yourself, and meet other people. A lot of small upcoming bands tend to use this as a place to promote their music, which does work very well. However it’s also become a place where most users profiles consist of nothing but multiple poor pop videos, massive amounts of animated images, and enough multi-colored text to give even the most robust web browser a headache. It’s also a place where fit girls can flaunt themselves and er yes that bit is rather nice
So, they’ve become myspace sprongs but I shall not give in! Now I face a dilemma, do I link their names below with their myspace profiles or not? Anyways, they shall be named and shamed!
Pakman from Surly Wombat! Kitteh from Deconstruct.me.uk SHP from Cyberpunk Cafe Phil from the now deceased Halfmad.com MisterDead from #id - Only signed up to drool at the fit girls! Soth from #id - As above!
