In case you want to see the interesting things they vomit.

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.

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
