Shortly after meeting John Vanderslice and Minna Choi in the lobby of the SF Conservatory of Music, a good-natured debate about the NBA playoffs became the best ice breaker in awkward history. The fact is, JV and Minna make a great team; the level of mutual respect bouncing back and forth between the two of them is like watching Stockton and Malone mid pick and roll. John trusts Minna to dissect a songs DNA and reassemble it as a new organisma Frankensteinwith added limbs and digits, a wider range of grunts, and a much smoother gate. This is the first of our three-part series shot at the SF Conservatory with JV and the incredibly talented performers of the Magik Magik Orchestra. The remaining two can be found here: http://yourstru.ly/2009/06/30/it-took-too-much-time-to-get-this-blog-up-2/

John is a genuinely good person who just happens to run an excellent recording studio and write the best songs you've never heard in his spare time. He had the heart to respond to a personal email I sent when I was in a bad spot, almost a cry for help, within minutes, and what he wrote was incredibly heartfelt and meaningful. A total class act, and (in this performance) at the top of his game.

The choir is unfortunate. So flat! Everything else is gorgeous as always. Go JV!

Why is this video stagnant? John Vanderslice is a wonderful musician who makes fantastic music and it's a shame he's not more popular. :/

I saw John Vanderslice down at the Borderline in London, had no idea who he was but was awestruck, he has an amazing control on his voice and to see him live was just unbelievable I haven't stopped listening to him since. Great singer song writer and I wish him all the best in the future because there is a real talent there. Really refreshing to find someone truly talented and dedicated.

This is John Vanderslice, one of my favourite singer-songwriters. You should really listen to some of his albums, they are brilliantly produced.
