Mad World with Haley and Puddles on PMJ Top Hat on Fleek

[airhigh]

I hope my thoughts will fit, somewhat, into this discussion. I have always aggregated to the free thinker, the esoteric, the risk taker and non conformer. I guess that's what attracted me to Haley so early on. Even in her covers on Idol she was designing those songs. For a lot of her fans the whoa moment was "Bennie & the Jets" but I could see viva la difference @ her audition. She was a breath of fresh air. I love watching this musical journey and can see that she is surrounding herself with musicians with similar attributes. From, Casey to Scott to even Anders they march to the beat of they're own drummer. I think you see this with "Free" not only were her own songs some what esoteric, she chose a song that was, for the lack of a better word, different. Not your everyday number on the Pop Charts. We were all waiting so patiently, or Not, for it to be released, just like today and "Better" hehe. The first time she sang it I was like Oh Really, then I listened again, then again. On the third time the light came on, boy this is pretty good & today I love the song. If anyone but Haley was singing it I wouldn't have given it a second thought but by then I was in, riding on the Haley train and loving it. Her new EP songs have the Haley difference again. How they will be received main stream worries me, wanting her to chart well, but I love the difference and the risk. Main stream likes to wake up to there Tony the Tiger flacks every morning, Grape Nuts is a little to raw for them, let alone true organic. Well Haley is the real deal she is raw and she is organic. From what Haliens are posting today Puddles has some of those attributes.
I'm posting a little about Meg & Dia Frampton to artist who were signed but marched to the beat of a different drummer. There song "Here, Here & Here" tell a story about them being away from the warmth of home & mom. About being on the road performing and writing new material. The story brings in Mozart being asked how he could create such beautiful music and he replied, pointing to his Heart, Mind & Ear and said here, here & here. The young ladies made a pop song about Mozart's retort and meshed a Baroque string section in with they're rock band. I think it's genius. The other clip is about there musical journey; the way the music is made. It gives an insight into the artists mind and you probably would find the same type of bantering on the PMJ bus. You have to love the risk takers even if they lose there corporate daddies like Meg and Dia did.
