Read more at Exclaim! about the tour and how it all came about and what I’m rambling on about below.

This is a very poorly put together post but all you need to get out of it is that Owen is awesome.

Someone, against Owen’s will, got something of his from him for nothing [they used his music in an ad].
Instead of fighting it he realized there was clearly nothing stopping companies from using his music regardless. [Injunctions and removing it from market could be done but in today’s web of video sites it will remain].
So he decides he will get something from them in return.

But to do so he never brought in the lawyers. First mistake.
Not only does he not willfully screw over some poor sap that he needed, he actually tries to help others by getting friends some shows. Must be a socialist.

Last year when he won an award with an accompanying cash prize [$20,000], he gave the prize away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do people even take this guy’s calls?
.
He clearly does not understand how the music business works
[And thank fuck for that].

Cheers to Mr. Pallet
