dan paul: myspace singer/songwriter
Joining the ranks of many bored 15 year olds with broadband access, I’ve recently signed up for a myspace account. I did so to reconnect with old highschool friends, as I was finding a scattering of them online with myspace profiles. Of course, it’s become one site that regularly wastes my time – and myspace is the king of all time-wasters – but occasionally I find something worthwhile. With myspace, it’s the musicians I’ve come across, that’s really made my time on the site memorable.
Dan Paul
was my first find. He’s a talented singer/songwriter from Dallas, Texas, who has 4 of his
songs featured on his myspace account. If I had to toss a "if you like [blank], you’ll like [blank]" on this guy, I’d say if you like The Postal Service, you’ll like Dan Paul. Something about the thoughtful song lyrics, kind voice, and electronic production give off a great vibe. I dig it.
Check out his music. Perspective is my favorite. Say That It Mattered is the only non-electronic track. It’s just him and a piano, and is pretty raw and emotional.

He severely reminds me of an Aussie band called The Whitlams:
No Aphrodisiac

That link gives me a 404
In addition to being a musician, DanPaul is also an accomplished visual artist, and a hottie and a super nice guy. You can see some of his work on his myspace profile. Check out http://www.teresanasty.com too.
Dan Paul is a FIND. Thanks for suggesting this. I’m hooked!
