Now, I know what you've been thinking lately.
'Golly, the music world's so complicated! If only I could find a performer who distills pop music, techno, funk and glam! It'd be super neat if he had white hair and was into fantasy, and also if I couldn't tell if he was being ironic or not!'
Well, rest easy, friend.
Who is that magnificent hunk of a man? That stud with a flowing white mane who is a prince and also a pirate?
That man is Chris Dane Owens.
Who is Chris Dane Owens? How did I end up on his website? These are all questions.
Simply put, Chris is a L.A. native who is bound and determined to be about a thousand times more dramatic than a boyfriend dispute in Drama Club. He's got a music career apparently, which he just started, and is bound and determined to nerd it up as long as he possibly can. Which is way cool with me, because come on, he makes some stuff that makes me smile.
I know, I know, you can't commit to ironically liking something without at least experiencing it. Well, that's why you need to watch this.
'Shine On Me' Music Video
That's the video I stole that screencap from. Imagine 'Lord Of The Rings' if Legolas was the fellowship and enjoyed singing and you're half-way there.
I think I have a certain fondness towards this guy because really, he doesn't care what you think. He's doing his own thing, and if it happens to sound like multiple genres from the 80's having a love child, so be it. Also, he's a gigantic geek, and wants to make his album into some sort of manga.
Double bonus points if you don't need to look up the word 'manga' to understand that sentence.
Anyway, I wish this guy nothing but the best. I'll at least give the album a look when it drops in February (assuming it actually sees the light of day and CDO doesn't retreat into a fantasy world in his own mind).
