David Gray?!?!? :)

Anyone like this guy? I bought White Ladder last year, and
still listen to it sometimes... I love his voice, and songs
like Please Forgive Me, Babylon, White Ladder, and This
Years Love are just beautiful... he also thanks Orbital in
his thank-yous... :)

yeah, i actually like that album.
My brother came back from uni at easter, and he got White
ladder, we listened to it quite a lot.

i keep getting "sail away with me honey" stuck in my head.
Some really nice songs on that album.

and he made this album completely independantly... I get
this picture in my head of him in his apartment just writing
and singing away with no worries about what the record
company people want, but just concerned with what he
wanted... I mean it's gotta be absolutely true and honest to
who he is... there are some nice lyrics on here... I love
the lyrics to Babylon...

cool, i didnt know that.

It's good when artists/bands do that. the Foo Fighters did
that with There is Nothing Left To Lose, and i think it's
their best album so far. And its all done in Dave Grohl's
basement, how i wish i cud have a recording studio in my
basement - if i had one!

yeah, he was dropped from his label (for the second time)
and he recorded this all in his apartment apparently... then
Dave Matthews somehow heard him and signed him to his new
label, and then David Gray took off...

He got over-played to death here, so any joy his music may
have wrought has been stripped away by commercialism.

(I worked on a construction site for a few month's that had
the radio on the same station every single day)

He also has a very wobbly head, which is never a good sign.

guitar/electronic vibe over it...

I think White Ladder is an excellent album and I like David
Gray a lot. When I first heard that beat in "We're not
Right" I couldn't believe it!

Yeah, David Gray is friends with Orbital. . . he does the
vocals in Orbital's "Illuminate", which I think is the best
vocal song Orbital have ever done.

he sang on illuminate by orbital (excellent remixes for any
orbital fans) and they also did 2 remixes of please forgive
me which are a bit tricky to track down

I hate his songs.
I hate his voice.
I hate him.
I hate the fact I've stood through an entire hour of his
music, live.
I like the fact I yelled at him that he was a cunt.

his drummer looks like bagpuss, just less cute :-D

apart from that, DG is wholly uninteresting.

Yes, Clune (the drummer) is the only good thing about David
Gray. He was incredibly amusing live, and almost made me not
want to kill David.
