Hands down, one of my most oldest and most talented friends is the musician Julian Shah Tayler. Even when we were teenagers Julian was stupidly good — he sang, played guitar & piano and has gone on to write & produce all his own music. Last spring, I stayed for a while in the large rambling house in LA where he lives, and got to hear a lot of the work he is now releasing.
Before moving to LA, he toured & recorded with Whitey for three years, and now also writes for & plays in his excellent band Adamandevil with his old Whitey bandmate Scott Fairbrother. He has lots of brilliant stories about working as a session musician with artists I can’t possible name but recently let slip to a journalist that he worked with Joaquin Phoenix on a brilliant album that will probably never see the light of day.
His latest solo single, “Un Ange Passé” was released on the 1st of January and is available on iTunes here and for free download via donation here, and his debut album, “Coito Ergo Sum” is due for release later on this spring on Impossible Things Records Do check it out.

I will– I want to start blogging more about my music loves– I spend at least 2 nights a week out and about seeing live music and don’t write about it which seems silly. Will check him out– anyone who is a friend of Joaquin is a friend of mine
Thanks I’ll check out their music on myspace.
