Go here.
Listen to any of the songs from Central Hug.. and tell me they aren't amazing. And no, I don't work for him, I just love it.
He's just one guy out of Chicago who's doing a graduate degree in physics, and he put together three albums in the hope of getting onto a musical composition course. His songs are all catchy as hell, and smart, and vary widely in style (at least on Central Hug).
Go on, give him a chance.
