Nearly two years in the making, Owen's latest release titled New Leaves was officially released this week. And for fans of Mike Kinsella's older material, he did little to disappoint. After all, for a guy rarely afraid to use clichés in his music, it might be appropriate to restate the obvious: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."Kinsella makes clear in his new video, "Good Friends, Bad Habits," ..
