I love The Kooks! My favorite song by them right now is Always Where I Need To Be (I'm learning it on guitar right now too... its easy!). I only have a few of their songs, but I still really like them. I first heard them on the radio, and I really liked the way they sounded so I kept listening to them. You're the only other person I know about that likes them! everyone I know has never heard of them.
I really want to see them in concert, but sadly they aren't playing where I live any time soon...
