THE ALBUM: Future Now
I’m really excited about Ian Blurton’s new Future Now record. I’ve heard the first two songs on Bandcamp and it sounds like Uriah Heep if they recorded The Magician’s Birthday in the present day but with Ian singing.
THE PODCAST: Chris DeMakes A Podcast
Chris (from Less Than Jake) has tons of episodes with songwriters breaking down their best-known recordings. It’s pretty good for inspiration, and if you leave it on, you’re bound to gain some new respect for songs you might not have thought twice about before.
THE MOVIE: Dead Man
The soundtrack is epic. Basically, Neil Young making everything from train noises to mournful refrains on electric guitar. It’s kinda dark and gritty, but also goofy. The scene with Billy Bob Thornton, Iggy Pop and Johnny Depp is pretty great IMO.
The Slip-Ons latest single, “Graystone,” is available through streaming services now.
