I've waited probably too long to post about all this. From now through April 4, various people on the West Coast of our GREAT NATION have a chance to see yours truly, Spencer Owen, perform both songs of his own devising on a microphone and backing track (or occasionally, piano) AND songs of the devising of friends on the drums and percussion.It seems more complicated than it is. Here's the brea...

My latest album, THE LIGHT TOUCH (have you heard about it?), is now available for purchasing on iTunes for $5.94. That's cheaper than most albums, 'cause it's only six songs, but what a six song wallop it is.It's also on Rhapsody:http://www.rhapsody.com/spencerowen/thelighttouchAnd I shouldn't say this, but with your free 25 plays, you can listen to the WHOLE ALBUM FREE. Yeah. That doesn't make...
Yes, I, too, have been snubbed by the Oscars.You see, I scored a feature in the year 2004, and this movie also featured an original song by me. Long Gone Daddy was its name, and Kalen Egan was its auteur - a then-enfant terrible, if you will, of Santa Cruz, now destined to become an - if you will - enfant terrible of Hollywood any day now. (He is one of the three authors of Six-Reel Shuffle, ob...
I welcome the new feature. I have a samba called "Sleeping in Public" on my Juno-award-winning album E.T.R. (Electric 3rd R-Word) (you can hear some of it, and all the rest of the songs, here, and then buy it if you're just feelin' nice and diggin' on it) and here's an alternate version of that song - also in a samba form - called "Sleeping in Private." This is a MISSY ELLIOTT EXCLUSIVE! Only M...
So I've been working on an album since April, intermittently. It'll be the second album I've made this year, and both albums are unique in that they feature the co-production and engineering assistance of close friends of mine. My artistic solitude has become far less all-encompassing, if that's at all a good way to put it. The one I finished two months ago (I think) was called iTunes Changed M...
If you're like me (i.e. you're a musician and you aren't famous but there's a Wikipedia page about you because, well, why not), you should check your Wikipedia page. Mine was flagged with a deletion notice. Reason: I am a "non-notable musician." It's been five days since the message was put up, and it also says that after five days, the article can be deleted without notice if appropriate chang...
The Great Stare (for Paddy McAloon and Marie Falconetti)
I'm e-mailing people this song and I'm uploading it all over the internet and this will be no exception. I completed it last night. Fun facts about the song:- If you call my cell phone and get my voicemail (and if you have done so over the last several weeks), you've heard the loop that this song is based on. Through painstaking usage of the most modern technology, it has gone from a looping pe...
