I have a few addictions - Books, Music, Office supplies, - to name a few. Since I bought my ibook for my 41st birthday, I've turned into an itunes junkie. There are worse things to be addicted to, clearly.

Lots of people download for free, I'm not judging, but I don't. I have no problems with paying for the music that a person spent years working on as long as it's good. In my search for new music I came across some of the compilations that itunes offers. I looked at them mainly with a music snobs eye because I was sure the songs chosen for the compilations would be generic everyday stuff. Much to my surprise, I discovered Rahsaan Patterson, Donnie, Amp Fiddler, Van Hunt and Anthony David.

Can I just say that I've been jamming Rahsaan's After Hours strong. Been asking all my music buddies, Have you heard this guy? Listen to this and I play , "The One For Me".
Not only does this brother have sweet uptempo music, his lyrics are thoughtful and not cliche. He has a bit of a Raphael Saadiq sound and yet a sound all his own.
If you're going to pay for anyone's music, this is the guy to spend it on.

I discovered that he has two previously released albums which I ordered off Amazon.ca since itunes didn't have them. I received those bad boys today and have since listened to them. This guy is a keeper.
