Part 3...

For This time around... we'll speak about...

Sarah Blasko




















Sarah is one of my solo favourite artists.

Why?

Fuck knows actually.... I normally hate soft pop music (see The Caffeine Show and all the whinging I did on that show on that very subject), i'm not a fan of her counterparts in her "catergory" either... Mia Dyson, Missy Higgins, Delta "my second album was a flop" Goodrem etc.

The fact that she does a lot of that arty shit as well (which I also HATE with a passion) makes this Sarah love more fucked up. But as many of our readers should know Sarah Blasko's album "The Overture and The Underscore" and her new album "What the Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have" got a lots of airplay on The Caffeine Show and of course JJJ (JJJ being my dream place to work and of whom I would defect to quicker than you can Rosie Beaton).

Somehow through the arty bullshit and love songs, her originality shines through. Sarah is somehow an endearing and enjoyable listen. It might be her husky vocals and live instrumentation or it could be her on-stage dancing (which has to be seen to be believed). Actually on the dancing (Sarah, if your reading this) I have dubbed this "the canter" (Copyright Caffeine Industries 2006) which is her back and forth movement while grasping the mic during the bridges of her tracks.

Ms. Blasko, you gotta show me how to do the canter....because i can't replicate it. Add the canter with the rest of her interperative freestyle dancing makes for intersting and highly entertaining viewing if you ever go to a Sarah show. If you add this with her wardrobe (which is like a Granny's dress sense in the 60's), this makes the image of Sarah Blasko work for her and for me. For being original, and for making decent music against the odds.

Your a saluted Gav Favourite.

Love and Respect
