Christopher Owens is a musician best known for the band GIRLS. His new album, I Wanna Run Barefoot Through Your Hair, is out now, and we love it. We spoke with Christopher from a park in New York City about R.I.P. Quincy Jones, the Presidential election, he could be better at email, busking as a child in Europe, getting his first knife in Korea, moving to Amarillo, TX, working at Albertson's, train hopping, living in punk houses, falling in love at The Crystal Pistol, how he got fired from Kabuki Teppanyaki Grill, his life as an executive assistant, San Francisco in 2005, he got into music very late, Simon & Garfunkel were just two dudes, why he loves to Yo-Yo, and how he makes the kind of music he wants to make.
