Possessed by Paul James

The incredible talent that is Possessed by Paul James (aka: Konrad Wert) is undeniable. He is definitely an established musician that seems to of mastered the craft of performing the banjo, fiddle, and guitar. He has a voice that consumes you and eerily brings you back to a time when music was recorded in a mud-floored barn. How this guy is not a household name is beyond me because he is so incredibly talented.

I have been stuck on his myspace page today and I can't wait until I get my hands on his new album Feed the Family which is due in April or May. If you have never heard of Possessed by Paul James, go right now and have a listen. Look around for links where you can purchase all his other stuff because it is so worth it.

Finders Keepers Records

I came across one of the most incredible finds I have ever experienced in music today. I am sure a lot of people know about Finders Keepers Records but experiencing, and exploring, their site for the first time has made this day amazing. I don't know what album to purchase. I have been listening to :30 second snippets all day and every album sounds amazing.

Please, do yourself a favour and go get lost in, and I quote: "… Japanese choreography records, space-age Turkish protest songs, Czechoslovakian vampire soundtracks, Welsh rare-beats, bubblegum folk, drugsploitation operatics, banned British crime thrillers and celebrity Gallic Martini adverts…" You will not regret it!
