This is the fifth video in Owen’s series of videos where he plays every song from his new record ‘Ghost Town’ in and around Chicago.  Here are all the videos that have been released:

01. Too Many Moons (Live on his front porch)
02. No Place Like Home (Live on the beach)
03. O, Evelyn… (Live outside The Chicago Theatre)

Mike Kinsella’s been hauling his guitar around Chicago to perform every song from the upcoming Owen album Ghost Town live at various spots in his hometown.

The video above (for “O, Evelyn”) is my personal favorite so far, if only for the chat he has with two strangers walking by about halfway through.

Head to Owen’s YouTube channel to watch the first two videos and bookmark the page so you’ll be sure to catch the rest of his performances as they are posted.

You can also check out the first two videos on Owen’s Tumblr: ‘Too Many Moons’ and ‘No Place Like Home’.

Even though the new Owen album ‘Ghost Town’ doesn’t officially come out until November 8th, I’m already enjoying it thanks to Polyvinyl’s awesome pre-order.  Any order (CD, clear 180-gram vinyl, black 180-gram vinyl, MP3, t-shirt) receives an instant download of the entire album.  If that hasn’t totally sold you (what’s wrong with you?), then check out the song ‘I Believe’ that I posted a few weeks ago and the song ‘No Place Like Home’ that Alternative Press is currently streaming.
