My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Playing John Miller and The Country Casuals singing: "We've Fought Once too Often" It's not now on their myspace page, but there are four good tracks on there. (Just bought "One Excuse Too Many" by he above too.) Try Tom Armstrong's "Thinking of Him." as recommended by the man above...John Miller that is.The track "We've Fought...."is from their album/c.d "Popping Pills "which is great and thoroughly recommended. "This Pain Inside" off that album is absolutely tremendous.Also listening to Amy Allison's "Sad Girl" Try : "Everybody Thinks You're An Angel."..."Listless and Lonesome"..."One Thing In Mind"..."Sad Girl" I really like that album too.The Lines : "Domino Effect" also on myspaceAlso listening to Natalie Edelson on myspace. I think she is brilliant and the track "Mayfly Days" is great, but so are the other three she has put on there.Really like Jaimi Shuey singing "Wrong Girl" - like the above artists...put in a category under "S" for sublime.Try Heather Loewen's songs "Taste of Heaven" and "Nothing Ever lasts." Ace!

John Miller :"This Pain Inside" from his cd "Popping Pills."

 I first came across John Miller as a link on myspace. He and his band The Country Casuals were in somebody's friends. If I like an artist, I tend to see who they're fans of.  I l...

Heather Loewen

"Nothing Ever Lasts Forever." Listen to this on myspace - a real sort of sad song. Good thing about myspace is finding these artists who I've never heard of before, but really do write ace songs....
