The late Warren Zevon’s self-titled album will be reissued on November 11.
Originally produced by Jackson Browne and featuring celebrity members of the 1970s, this version will include fifteen unreleased tracks on a second CD.
According to Rhino,
[The second disc] contains 15 unreleased tracks, including different versions of every song on the album. Several demos capture Zevon alone at the piano, including a poignant take on Frank And Jesse James, a song he wrote while touring with The Everly Brothers. A demo Zevon recorded for Hasten Down The Wind features a full band. In addition, the collection presents alternate versions of Poor Poor Pitiful Me and Carmelita along with different takes from the sessions for Join Me In L.A. and Desperados Under The Eaves. The live bonus track of Mama Couldn’t Be Persuaded was recorded in October 1976 during an appearance on the Cleveland radio station WMMS.
As with other Rhino releases, you can stream some of the tracks here.

Chicago’s super-awesome Pit Er Pat are hitting the road this fall in support of High Time, their new album due out on 10/21. This effort finds the band traveling down a dusty and dark path with guitars, sequencers, drum machines, and a slew of foreign percussions.
We think the album is awesome. Our vinyl is on order. Yours should be too.
Tourdates and MP3 after the jump. Check ‘em out.
After tonight’s high-stakes, gloves-off, barb-trading, jab throwing, no holds barred, buzzword-and-diet-pills-infused face-off between Barack Obama and John McCain, Owl&Bear writers, chronically interested in fences, other sides of fences, and people who uncomfortably perch on fences, sat down with some swing voters. One such swinger, Joe P., no that’s too obvious, let’s call him J. Plumber, had no trouble giving his opinion:
If I agreed with McCain’s Policies, ignored his age, had never heard anything about his running mate, and Obama wasn’t running, I might consider voting for McCain.
Still on the fence? See for yourself below. If not, this probably isn’t worth your time—especially if you hate spitting beverages at your computer screen.

As of October 20, Ringo Starr will be too busy to answer his fan mail. Starr, who now makes up 50% of the Beatles, has asked fans to “not send fan mail to any address that you have. Nothing will be signed after the 20th of October. If that is the date on the envelope, it’s gonna be tossed.”
In the spirit of Ringo, Owl&Bear would like to ask you readers to please not send us 25% of your monthly earnings.
