I saw Paul Kotheimer play at Aroma this evening. He's a very talented singer songwriter, funny, smart, literate, political, poetic, whimsical, and always very listenable. www.handmaderecords.com
It's hard to describe music that you've never heard. I just found this link. *pat self on back*

Go listen. And then consider buying a CD or inviting him to come and play a show for you and your friends. If you do maybe he won't sell his guitar to make rent, and he will write more songs making for a more beautiful and heartfelt world.
