You can hear Jjacob Jjames playing LIVE on KEXP this Saturday, October 14th, 2017, at 6:30 p.m. This is a cover of a wonderful Harry Nilsson song. One of Nilsson's greatest projects was the album and animated feature, "The Point." Essentially, it's a parable about discrimination, set as a fairy tale for children of all ages. "Me & My Arrow" is the theme song for Oblio, the boy without a point in his head, and his dog, Arrow. It's a wonderful character study of a boy's state of mind while growing up with his dog.

A few hundred metres away up the driveway of the property named “Alfalfa” sits another house, which belongs to her 93-year-old grandmother. The rest, she says, “is just beautiful space. And what else would you fill it with if not music?” Learn more about this artist: www.gordimusic.com
Justin Vernon wrote this song after director, Matt Amato, learnt of the death of his best friend, actor Heath Ledger, while he was shooting a video at Vernon's parents' house. Vernon told Rolling Stone: "So I've got this guy [Matt Amato] in my house whose best friend [Heath Ledger] just passed away. He's sobbing in my arms. He can't go back to L.A. because the house is under siege. Michelle Williams is calling my parents' phone. All this stuff." Vernon added to Clash Music: "And his best friend was from Perth. It just sort of became the beginning of the record. And Perth has such a feeling of isolation, and also it rhymes with birth, and every song I ended up making after that just sort of drifted towards that theme, tying themselves to places and trying to explain what places are and what places aren't."
