THE SIDEBAR

Sunday Brunch @ Japhyjunket: Damien Rice Ed Note: Sunday Brunch is an occasional series focusing on the things in life that justify humanity's continued existence. Like Brunch. I've been sitting here for the past five minutes trying to think what magic words I have to say to get you, gentle reader, to go out and buy Damien Rice's CD this very instant. First, I thought I'd write, "If I was forced to have to spend eternity forever listening to the same albulm on repeat, Damien Rice's "O" would be the one I'd pick". My next attempt was, "The only thing that seperates Damien Rice from John Lennon and Bob Dylan is that John and Bob's debuts weren't nearly as smart, mature or as heartfelt as Damien's." I'd go on, but the truth is, it's only a matter of time before this small-framed Irish lad with the baby face full of whiskers blows you all away. It only takes one listen to fall under his spell. I'll prove it to you- go download the single "Volcano" from his website. Do it now. I'll wait. No, really. Go do it. This is why Al Gore invented the Internet, after all. Told ya so. Damien Rice's 'O' will be released in the U.S. June 3.
