This Joy

None of the other Robot Soap lads will like this, I don't think but right now i'm loving Stephanie Dosen's music. 

I first came across her early last summer when a friend put on Andrew Bird at Club Academy, Manchester and she supported. I don't really know why her music appeals to me to be quite honest. Her music reminds me of a less produced Sarah McLachlan, you know, that folky acoustic balladesque noise that kind of sits in the background of my mind, that at the time I don't even really appreciate. It's only later that I find myself humming the melodies. Sarah McLachlan is a very, very lazy comparison but its late, and i'm tired from a pretty awful day but her noise (if you can call it that) is soothing on the soul.

She's probably destined for big things, considering the last time I saw her mentioned was on one of the MTV channels that I forget the name of but if you've got Sky Digital its the one after MTV2. So i'm sure this post will be redundant soon enough and the entire world will be sick of her sweet, never sacarine, melodies but right now i'm listening to her for what the music is.

She's never going to change the world but there's a time and a place for most things and right now at 01.33am on a Saturday morning, laid in bed wondering why i'm still awake and typing away on my laptop, the time and place is right.

So if after all that you still want to check her out just copy and paste her name into youtube or myspace and i'm sure you'll find a whole bunch of videos and music for you to make your own mind up.
