Over the weekend a friend sent me some links to a guy she had just seen live. I usually open stuff like that without any real expectations. I never really know what is going to knock me down music wise and what isn't, but I've had a lot of people forward me a lot of links that I couldn't have cared less about. Something about the build up that gets me every time; if someone raves about a new group or artist, I am usually invariably disappointed when I finally hear them.
Not so much the case here. In fact, I was instantly smitten. Here he is:

OK, there are a couple things going on here:
First of all: I heard today that there is someone else out there who has been doing this style of music for a while now, but this is the first time I have ever seen anything like this. I am so ridiculously impressed. I just can't imagine having enough talent to loop sounds together like that? To hear something and know it would sound right with something else. To be your own one man band... Impressed doesn’t even cover it. I am hooked.
Second of all: did you hear that accent? No really, did you hear it? Because, yeah... that did it for me.
Finally: Back to the talent (I swear, it's all about the music!) I was a girl who was meant for musical stardom, if only I hadn't been deprived of any musical talent. I swear you will never meet anyone else who covets music the way I do without having a lick of ability of her own. I love music. I am envious of those who can produce good music. I am enamored by those who can produce phenomenal music. Seriously, the douchiest guys I have ever dated have all been musicians. I put up with their douchieness, because I was forever seduced by their talent... True story.
So, I'm thinking this guy needs to be my baby daddy. Short of that, I'm thinking I need a sperm donor with musical ability. I think I have finally touched on a quantifiable talent I would like my sperm donor to pass down! After all, with my love for music I am clearly meant to be the mommy to a couple little prodigies! My kids obviously aren’t going to get this talent from me (I couldn't even hit the same note twice if I had a million bucks riding on it), but I am pretty stoked on the idea of them getting it from their sperm daddy.
So thank you Mister David Ford. And if you are ever in Alaska, you feel free to hit me up – I’m pretty sure I could make room for you in my life up here!
Or, you know, you could just ship me a vial of sperm.
