Hugh Hewitt had singer/surfer Daize Shayne on his radio show today, and I liked what I heard. She sounds like a blend of Alanis Morisette (without the whininess) and Fiona Apple, with maybe a hint of Sarah McLachlan.
I'm listening to her album "The Way I Do" as I write (thank you, Napster), and it's great music for top-down summertime cruising. Not surprising, considering Daize's a two-time World Longboard Surfing Champion. I particularly enjoy three tracks: "Such A Mess", "Crazy", and "The Way I Do". My parrot-eating cat seems to like her music too, judging by the meowing toward my speakers.
Oh, did I mention she's a model, too? And guess where she'll be performing later this month?
She's 24 (unless I miss my guess), she's beautiful, she's a singer, she's a guitarist, she's athletic, and she's conservative. Why, oh why must I live in Cleveland? Daize'll surf Lake Erie right after Hell freezes over. Such is life.
Go buy her album. You'll thank me.
Hey, Kevin ... whaddaya think?
Daize was terrible on Hannity and Coombs tonight. It was embarrassing that she didn't endorse President Bush. I went to her web page, she can't sing either. I can't believe no one asked her if she even endorsed Bush. She sounded so uneducated. She obviously has spent alot of time at the beach versus reading the newspapers & books. Her political savvy was "nil."
Real bad publicity for her.
