Listener: Talk Music

November 3rd, 2009

Last Friday my roommate JP invited a few of us from the house to play music as he spat his latest words.  We opened up for Listener, who is one of the, if not the pioneer of ‘talk music.’  Its a real interesting mish mash of poetry, hip hop, often folk, electronic, or even punk sounds.  Dan, from Listener, was adorned in a glorious coyote shirt which he hinted he only wears on Fridays, I like that–and oh boy he spoke with passion.  Coyote shirt and passionate words plus often hilarious, often frightening stage presence equaled me wanting to roll some tape.  Here he performs “Falling In Love With Glaciers.”  Enjoy.
