Sloan get organized for new record
Submitted by Merlin on September 27, 2006 - 5:20am.
One of my favorite bands, Sloan, has a new record called Never Hear the End of It that just came out last week in Canada (currently only purchasable via import in the US; in Canada, you can buy it on MapleMusic).
While recording the CD, Sloan also shot a bunch of short in-studio videos, including a couple that reveal their innately organizational side.
In “Shades ‘o’ Sloan”, Murph shares the color-coded card system they used to track each band members’ song status. “I’m red, and Jay’s yellow, Patrick’s green, and Andrew’s blue…”
In “Sneak Peek,” the color system returns, vaguely Mondrian-like, plus you get to hear samples from a few of the songs. I’m a big fan of “Set in Motion” (which you’ll see is Chris Murphy Red).
The tracks I’ve heard from the record are really good – probably their best since Between the Bridges.
Also, if you ever get the chance, do catch Sloan on tour when they come to your town. Always a really fun show.

It's so weird to be...
It’s so weird to be out on the web and find this site and this site and this site and this site and end up at a place you think is so far away from everything you’ve known - and then find someone from your own backwater province.
Yay Teh Intarweb!
If y’all want real rock, try www.houseofrock.ca. You can’t go wrong with any of those.
And I’d LOVE to see some info on cd/dvd organization. I have my own quirky system, but it’d be great to see what others do.
