John Vanderslice Releases New 7″

The highlight of John Vanderslices recent album, Romanian Times, is being released today as a limited-edition 7″ single. “Too Much Time” is a one of the most compelling songs Vanderslice has written yet and well deserving of the release. The b-side will be the exclusive and infectious “Moon Rocks.” Thephotograph on the cover the album is also the work of Mr. Vanderslice.  He’s quite the talented little fellow.  And right now he’s getting ready for a two month tour over in Europe.  So all you European readers be sure and check him out when he comes near.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a live video performance of “Too Much Time” and posted the album version of the song. Today I have a great stripped down demo of the song with Vanderslice singing over some synths. It’s definitely not better, but it’s still very enjoyable.

John Vanderslice Live In the Studio w/ Magik*Magik Orchestra

I’m finding it hard to find something to write to you these days. I’m feeling rather uninspired lately.  That and I am just way too distracted by fantasy football.  But instead of silence or my half-hearted ramblings, I am giving to you a couple of John Vanderslice videos.  Here are two live studio recordings of John Vanderslice and the Magik*Magik Orchestra performing some songs off of his excellent May release, Romanian Times.
