Missing You Like Pokemon

Having topped my weekly lastfm charts since i first discovered him less than a month ago, i can definitely say that my current musical obsession is Alfred Daniels Midland!

I discovered him while making my way through lastfm's recommended similar artist to Jacob Borshard, and while his music is not at all like Mr Borshard's ukulele-pop, its easy to see the similarity in their poignant bedroom lo-fi compositions.

Alfred Daniels Midland is more uptempo and not all sad stories, although he does have his fair share of heartbreak tales.

According to his artist page on Lastfm, Robby Fronzo, the lad behind the moniker, was previsously called Snow-fi, but curiously changed his name to mock a US agriculture business named "Archer Daniels Midland".

His own website over at http://www.freewebs.com/alfreddanielsmidland/ has links to several albums for free download, hosted at archive.org, and the cutest video of playful kitties (you just can't go wrong with cute kitties!!), however - sadly his myspace page states "I'm not a band anymore - I've decided to stop making songs under this name, BUT i'm looking to form a pop punk band... so if you play an instrument, and like pop punk.. tell me."

Which we think is a crime!! :)
Go download his albums, get addicted and let's all try and convince Robby to keep playing Alfred Daniels Midland!
