Hawksley Workman is a male singer/songwriter from Canada, which makes 
his albums rather difficult/impossible to find in the US. If you can, I 
suggest you download such songs as "Your Beauty Must Be Rubbing Off," 
"Lethal And Young," "Bullets," "Your Naked Body on the Beach," and 
pretty much anything else you can find EXCEPT anything from the album 
"Lover/Fighter," which tend to be mangled mp3s.

Like I said before, "Vibrate" by Rufus is amazing, and I also really 
like "Beautiful Child," both of which are from his most recent album. As 
for Ben Folds, "All You Can Eat" and "Give Judy My Notice" are two 
recent good songs.

Let me know what you think!
