Paul Baribeau

In the past few weeks this man has become my favorite songwriter. His music is mostly basic: acoustic guitar, untrained voice, blunt lyrics. It's raw and sincere and his stories don't sound fudged to me like I think a lot of lyricists do. That last part is just speculation/ wishful thinking though. Anyway, he's on Plan-It-X Records, and he fits right at home with the likes of Ghost Mice and Kimya Dawson. I ordered Grand Ledge before writing this post. I got Unbearable two weeks ago and have been listening to it almost nonstop. I also can't pick just one song to post in YouTube form, so here are two, and the other stuff I usually post when I write for this blog like I used to do all the time three months ago.

I think this quote from the above link describes it best: "He will destroy you, if you're a human."
