John Vanderslice
Today through Merlin Mann I got really into John Vanderslice. I had already known about John Vanderslice but today was the first day that I decided to really listen to him and see what I thought. Wow. It sure was easy to get hooked. Erin said that it was like Christmas finding out about John Vanderslice. He is an independent artist and I was watching a show about productivity and how he kept everything together. I have been very productive lately and having a great time with it.
John Vanderslice was in a band called MK Ultra and after their breakup in 1999 he started doing solo stuff. He records using a completely analog recording studio in the Mission District of San Francisco and sells studio time at below market value. It is called Tiny Telephone.
I don't think I have found a new artist I really enjoyed in a long time. I have been listening to the They Might Be Giants podcast and that has helped me rediscover what I liked about them but that isn't really the same thing. I don't listen to the radio anymore and haven't in a really really long time. I checked out a few stations the other day and they were still playing the same songs that I heard a couple years ago so I figure there isn't much out there. It takes a productivity expert to get new music to me now.
Now that you know a little bit about John Vanderslice here are some songs which get older as you go down and then some videos.
Trance Material
Me and My 424
Time Travel is Lonely
This is a song that John wrote about one of my favorite movies that was too disturbing for me to ever watch again with a video using footage from the movie. This is When It Hits My Blood
