Other than the title of this post sounding wrong or completely wrong and even possibly disturbingly wrong – here we are with a quick Friday post with that great title!
I have to apologize to the JWB himself that this is not a full treatment of Slowcoustic love, but I will make it up and do something additional in the future…totally maybe. Well this Jive White Boy might just be exactly what you would think a Jive White Boy would be…I have to say it is mostly the fair skinned, vest wearing types that get this sort of title, I think. I can’t help but think the name is just to draw you into this Portland singer songwriter. It has worked, I am transfixed just humming along to the shiny post-“Shins” sounding tracks in the freely available “Knives That Stab Your Face” EP.
I said this was a quickie right? So visit JWB on MySpace here and his Last.fm page here and pick up some tracks. You also just might enjoy his very promising blog as well – here. With my locale being a bit dark, windy and cold, I just needed to enjoy some fresh faced songwriter indie-pop, but regardless of your location you might just not be able to resist it either.

Hi,
thanks for your comment. If you do plan to tinker with the template, make sure you’re patient and calm about it. My own tinkering involved quite a bit of frustration…
Anyway, Fields of Industry really tend to grow on you after a while and I’m looking forward to listening to Jive White Boy as well.
Oded.
thank you so much for the great feature. “shiny” probably has been the most used word to describe my music to date. i don’t know what to think about that, but i’m flattered.
thanks again for giving notice to an independent release.

Yeah, I don’t know why I said “Shiny”, but glad you are okay with it! Keep it up Brian!
