Chords for Don't Move Here Ep #3 - Honey Owens and Grouper

_ [D] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [E] I think _ [Dm] it's much easier here if you [C] wanted to set up a show or if you wanted to start [E] a band.
This is [Am] by far the easiest place that [C] I know of where you can do that.
The [Am] scene is that everyone is just [D] like artists [C] here and they're like making music or [G] doing whatever type of art.
[Am] The scene is just that people are creating.
[C]
You don't have to practice in your [Am] basement for six months and record [Bm] a demo and then bring it [C] to local clubs,
which is the case in [Am] a lot of towns.
You can _ [D] play [C] in a band that's only practiced [Em] twice, [Dm] that your weird friends are having a house show [C] and people will think it's great.
[E] _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] Welcome back to Don't Move Here.
In this next [A] episode, we're going to visit with Honey Owens, who [C] does ballet and is a member of Miracles [D] Club, Dark Yoga and way [G] too many bands to list.
Then we're going to check out Grouper, [A] which is some of the most interesting and dreamy [F] music coming out of Portland right now.
Both of these ladies are also [A] part of Rad Summer, which is [G#] a really incredible store.
So check it out.
[F] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ So, Honey, when did you [Em] move to Portland?
How [C] long ago?
[E]
I [Am] moved here in the end of 95.
[A] _ _ _
[E] Yeah, the November 95 [Am] or something like that.
So it's been a long, I don't know how many [A] years that is now.
Sorry, [Em] I just ate a bunch of chips.
[Am] _ Don't worry about it.
Were you doing music when you moved out here?
[A] I was, but it was like more of an idea of doing music.
I was doing four track [Am] stuff with my friend Lorraine, but [A] I didn't exactly totally know how to operate a four track yet.
And so these friends that I thought they were like super hot musicians, [G] they were all, we got a four track and they would record us. _
_ You're a multi [Em]-instrumentalist now and you seem to take [C] an approach of like, let's [G] just do it.
How did you let yourself do that?
I think, I don't really know.
Like, I think I would just hear something like I would, I would think of an idea of some music that I wanted to hear.
_ _ _ [G] Or I was, I was [C] such a huge music fan.
Like [G] I would listen to all types of [D] music ever since I was little, just really into music, constantly music [G] playing at all times.
I think I just [D] started to hear things that I felt like could sort of be earthed or something.
Like I would just hear ideas and then I would try and make those ideas come out.
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [F#m] If you play the same notes over and over, you go past the notes.
Kind [D] of like when you're playing bass, you kind of go past the notes and you reach this other world of like rhythm and texture.
[F#] That's almost like, like just [C#m] intonation or some, there's some other sort of tonal world.
I'll [F#] hear a note or a tone and I'll start repeating and repeating and then something else will start feeding back into the repetition.
[F#m] And it's almost like I'm going down [A] the drain with it into down the rabbit [F#m] hole or something, you know.
And it [D] becomes more of like a journey where I don't know what's going to happen next. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Like I get bored with my own process.
I get bored with my own clothing or, you know, I get bored with a lot of things.
Like I'm changing my [D#] hair all the time and I think it's the same way with music because [G] the, like clothing and [C#m] hair and makeup or, are all [C#] parts of your creative expression.
[Bm] And like I tend to like cycle through things really fast and [A] luckily I work in the clothing business so I can wear one outfit and [D] then just give it away or sell it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] I've known Honey, _ [A]
who helped start Rad Summer for [D] a long time.
I _ _ think we've supported each other.
She supported me doing art and stuff definitely [F#m] by giving me space to do art.
And [A] we've played [D] music together a little bit.
_ _ The store is like a, I think it's just a collective of ladies that _ [F#m]
all were buying and selling vintage and [F#] used clothing.
And some of their friends [F#m] also selling records here so it's [C] sort of [A#m] them working all together [B] selling their wares.
_ _ _ _ [D] _
I got started playing music for a group or just, [B] I had Wurlitzer keyboards for years and a four track and I just, [D] I don't know, I just finally figured out how to use them. _ _ _
[B] Doing a song live is pretty different than doing it on a recording.
_ [G#] _ _ [D] I have been using tape collage in order to get some of the different layers live.
_ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] And also I use a loop pedal for vocals [D] live, which I don't do with recording usually.
[B] But the times I'm thinking of doing music are like [Bm] times where I would feel down or something.
[F#] _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] That's probably coming from me as a person.
[D] _ _ [F#] Or from where [B] the impulse to make music is coming from.
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
