DeadJournalist.com HAS MOVED to V3.3 - CLICK HERE to go to the new site!

Friend of DeadJournalist, Nyles Lannon, sent me this e-mail last week. Congrat to Nyles on his new son!


A new song I wrote, "Train", is in a movie out now in the US called American Teen, directed by Nanette Burstein. The movie is playing in most major cities. It earned Ms. Burstein the Directing Award this year at Sundance.

The soundtrack, released by Columbia Records, also includes The Ting Tings, The New Pornographers, MGMT, Does it Offend You Yeah, Black Kids, the Unicorns and others. It is available in all major music stores as well as Amazon and Itunes. You can buy my song individually on Itunes, just search for American Teen.

Hello Skye
My son Skye was born on June 3rd, and life before he arrived already seems like a distant memory. It's been a wild and wonderful ride. My hat is off to all the parents out there!

When you have five minutes, I implore you - read this interview.

In the second interview I've had the pleasure of conducting with Nyles Lannon, he explores a number of topics, including the the challenge of still trying to make it as a musician, the influences behind his new album, how camping can be a welcome change of pace while on the road, why he's ready for the next fad after MySpace and how a reviews should sometimes be taken with a tablespoon of salt.

It's an interesting - and openly honest - interview that I truly enjoyed. I hope you do as well.

Nyles Lannon is a fav of us here at DeadJournalist.com, and a few weeks ago he was kind enough to get us an advance of his sophomore solo project, Pressure.

We tend to think Lannon is an overlooked talent whose latest work is worth checking out. For more on Lannon, read our interview with him from last year at DeadJournalist.com.
