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.
