Some nights there’s too many moons separating your breath from the one you love. And so you forget how ‘no place like home’ isn’t a place after all. It’s moments spent with your lover making small talk within a shared womb of body heat. Listening to Owen makes you want to write poetry (even bad poetry) or beautiful prose. Makes you want to try your hand at love and living again. These songs have been crafted out of the wood of flesh, and leavened with the stuff left fermenting within the cracks and crevices of an honest soul. And even though at times the words tumble forth a bit awkward and off key, they are more real and vulnerable because of their straightforward quality. Owen has constructed these songs, not the preening kind, but the kind of songs that catch you seeing yourself within their sober reflecting pool. Lucky you, the release date for Owen’s forthcoming album Ghost Town is scheduled for November 1st (today). I am looking forward to letting his songs into my life and spending long hours making them my friends. Listen to the entire album below. Peace.
Japandroids – Post Nothing
I’m going to post this because I like it, a lot. When I first heard this band I spent a great deal of time touting them to so many of my friends. And although it’s been over two years since Japandroids ( Brian King and David Prowse) dropped Post Nothing it still remains among the top plays on my iPod. There is one simple reason to take this track home with you… IT FLAT OUT ROCKS BALLS! Peace.
I’ve also included the studio version as well below, check it.
