Loves it - Music

I'm always on the constant search for good music. And i'm the kind of person who obsesses over things, this week i'm indie, next week i'm googling motown, next week dangdut...it evolves over and over again. My criteria for good music are tunes that brings you into another world. I thank my good friend Maurice for introducing me to Damien Rice, that guy one sad sad soul (and i love it). He is someone i could listen to over and over again without wearing me out. The Blowers Daughter is sooo heart wrenchingly sad and depressing. He's like the mellow version of Meatloaf sans all the theatrics. He's melodies are really clean, and organic (waiseh). Be sure to check his album O. Others i'm mad about:
The Perishers - Midnight Skies, Sway, Best Friends
The Colors - Save Yourself
Burt Bacharach
The Kinks - Lola
Rachael Yamagata - The Reason Why, Elephants

All of them are really good but why add THE to your name. It sounds sooo over hyped and so unoriginal. Sheeshh...sweep it off guys. THE table, THE chair, THE bread, THE crazies, THE stupids. Super annoying, even a 2 year old can come up with a better name.
