Night owls inevitably make the best songwriters.

My friend showed me this guy's Myspace page the other day I was dazzled, to say the least. And no, that is not an exaggeration. Check out the page views, friend list, and number of plays on his single.

Owl City

He sounds like a lighter version of early Death Cab, or possibly a cuter Postal Service (yes, I know it's all Ben Gibbard. I'm just sayin'). And his self-promotion is having fantastic results. Everyone with any indie cred at all has heard of this guy. He plays all his own instruments, as well. And he is an un-ashamed insomniac, which leads me to believe that more of us should have this problem. Maybe then we could be incredible songwriters, too.
