Yeh well this is what happens when your sister takes your computer for about 3 hours more than she said she would. At any rate a change in pace for the whole emo band outlook and to look at a rather "old" artist who actually started me singing properly. Not sure how many of my readers remember Gavin Degraw other than his song I Don't Wanna Be but i seriously recommend you listen to him.

Degraw has a rather generic sound for the time with just the utilisation of piano's, drum's, guitar's etc etc. In the same manner the topics and lyrics are pretty much cliche, love, family watevs. But i don't know why but it always seems to get me going and i do love his tone colour. So for some recommendations of songs from his two albums i would actually advise against listening to I Don't Wanna Be. The song is too pop that it may even seem rather bland in the same way Miley Cyrus is bland...*puke*

Anyways instead for his first album Chariot i would recommend listening to Belief and Chariot both which display Gavin's piano ability which while admittedly is not difficult at least presents a different style to listen to. In his other album "Gavin Degraw" i don't really recommend listening to any of the songs mainly because i think the whole album is crap XD sorry to anyone who disagrees but its the truth. The only song which has an inkling of self respect is Anyway which i think is part of the Chariot album originally sooooo...

Anyways yes reminder again to all the people who shouted. Its great to agree with each other but if you could PLEASE recommend me new music to listen to because my 7000 odd songs isn't cutting it anymore...*twitch*
Shout out to Stella, yes i will be giving some love out to Alphabeat at some point. still deciding on what else.
Another post coming up today to make up for yesterday's miss :P ciao
