The South by Southwest rock & roll and internet drama circus is coming soon to a town near me. I've been going to SXSW for over a decade now, and it's always a very intense time. At this point it's a convergence of past, present and future, where iterations of myself and my former lives collide in a frenzy of free beer, more music than any two ears could ever hear, and so many old and new friends all together in the same city.
One of my favorite people who I met back when I lived in Manhattan, David Poe, is arriving soon, not for the music festival but to do some of the film and political stuff he's got his hands in. Poe's one of several people I'm excited to see, but I thought I'd share his music with you in case you hadn't heard it.
Listen to "Childbearing". Pay special attention to the lyrics, Poe's a storyteller.
- "Childbearing" appears on David Poe's The Late Album
which you can buy on Amazon.
