I know this music isn’t exactly typical of the style I’m listening to or working on, but I really dug this song. Incredibly haunting.
Patty Griffin’s new album, Downtown Church, has this one incredible song (among many) called “Coming Home To Me”.
In the midst of tracking for the new EP, we decided to lay this down just so more people could hear this song.
Go buy the album now.

Anytime you’re falling apart
When you’re washing the sheets

When there’s somebody waving goodbye
You’re coming home to me, just remember
You’re coming home to me
“Coming Home To Me”
By tonight, I’ll be in San Luis Obispo, CA. Hopefully, by the time I leave, the majority of the work on the “Taking You Home” EP will be done. I’ll try to keep you updated with photos and twitter updates while I’m there!

This photo is going to be a part of album cover for the new EP. It was taken by Cari Ann Wayman. Definitely check out her other photos. They’re all incredible.
OK Go is getting screwed at the hands of a label still living in the past. Viral video put them on the map, and with their new album, EMI has disabled embedding on YouTube because they can’t get paid for embedded videos. I love the band, and per the request, I’m posting the Vimeo version here. You can read the band’s open letter about the situation here:
