music recommendation The other day I was reading that Renee Zellwegger is dating her next musician, an Irish dude named Damien Rice. Since I'm always looking for new music, I decided to download some of his stuff and see what he was like.

He's totally awesome, people. They included one of his songs on the soundtrack to the movie "Closer", and I would totally recommend checking out the following songs: Cannonball, The Blower's Daughter, Prague (!), and Amie. The live version of Amie is better than the album version. The music is pretty acoustic - not a lot of bass or anything. And mellow, for the most part. For a more upbeat (and very catchy) song, try "Woman like a Man". It's solid, solid stuff. Thumbs up.  | ¶ 12:35 p.m.
