Still a nice tune, though.

Nice to know! I looked up Paul Weller, and in the context of his songwriting, the lyrics seem more suited to him than to Tracie, although having a female vocal probably makes more sense.

Actually I have to say that I like your journal. I know you have said that you want me to hear some African music. My advice just take time. Maybe it can start with people like Youssou N'Dour and a band like Zaiko Langa Langa. These two artists I like. I know you would enjoy them.

Glad you like it, and thanks for the recommendations. I think I'll have to ease into African music slowly, but I'm definitely open. It's kind of like most people with jazz- it can be difficult to know where to start. For me, it's all about finding a niche, and growing my knowledge from there. Zaiko Langa Langa is really catchy and jazzy- kind of reminds me of boogaloo and cuban music. I'll see if it grows on me.

Awesome! Glad you liked the bands, and will be looking forward to reading whatever it is I have inspired! :)

On that note, check out All Sons & Daughters, you'd probably like them too. They're a folk duo (I think... I may be wrong). Very, very good.

Will do! Thanks.

With your interest in Christian music, Geekoid, I wondered if you might be interested in this guy? You'll have a ton of trouble finding his music, but you can get it from his own website david castle.net : Official Web Site of the Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter/Composer or I can set you up. Guy's name is David Castle, and these tracks are from his last album, "Voice in the wind". Not overly religious but definitely a spiritual theme to most of the songs; I emailed him about ten years ago and he seemed very religious in a "may God watch over you" sort of way, very nice guy. Definitely deserves to be more successful and famous than he is.

I don't have much music like David Castle's, but it's really nice. He would pair nicely with Michelle Tumes, a lovely Australian Christian artist who does more peaceful and orchestral music. They share a similar temperament, I think. Thanks as always :).
