Help Ian McGlynn Record His New LP: "Now We're Golden"


Hey Friends,

Ian McGlynn here.

I have a little secret to tell you.

I'm recording a new album.

I've totally enjoyed releasing singles here and there over the last couple of years, and I appreciate everyone who took the time to listen, purchase and make each a small part of your lives. But it's really time for a new album, don't you think?

So, back to that secret. This past May I had the amazing opportunity to record some new songs with one of my musical heroes. Right here in NJ.

Some of you probably know me so well you don't even need to ask who. Let me tell you all the same.

Ken Stringfellow of The Posies, Big Star, and R.E.M.

A dream come true for this humble music maker.

Because of Ken's busy schedule we only had 10 days to record 5 brand new songs. I figured maybe I'd release an EP. But I fell so in love with some of these songs that I knew I needed to turn it into an LP. But how?

Here's how:

Ken, who currently lives in Paris, has another short window of time available in his schedule in September.

So I will be recording the rest of the new album in Amsterdam and Paris over the course of two weeks this September.

It's the only way.

This is where you...my fans, friends and family come in.

In order for me to travel to Amsterdam and Paris and finish the record I need to raise enough money to pay for the following things: the flight; the train (from Amsterdam to Paris); studio time in Amsterdam; studio time in Paris; I have to pay Ken too, of course; mastering and manufacturing the CD; food and accommodations.

So yeah, I need $5,500.

To keep the dream alive, I need your help. And a little bit of your money. BUT I don't just want your money. I want to earn it. And I want to have fun earning it. Really, I want us both to have fun. And I want us both to feel rewarded too.

So check it out!

You can simply preorder a digital download of the album for $10 or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can have me over to play a show in your own living room for $500!

When do I need this money? You have 60 days to pledge but, to be blunt, I need it ASAP!

I'm flying out September 10 so I need to book the flight asap and get some monies to the studios to book my time there.

So, let's have some fun together, shall we? I promise I'll make it worth your while.

Thanks in advance for being a part of this and making this happen!

Also, I can't thank you enough for all the continued love and support over the years. And I seriously can't wait to get this new record into your hands and ears.

Love,
ian

If you do too, join us. Make a statement (fashion and social, both) in this sweet, buttery soft t-shirt.

New Single "Digital Killed the Record Store" OUT TODAY!
Whatever damage video inflicted on the radio star, it hardly compares to what digital has done to the record store. Ian's not complaining exactly—after all, he loves his blogs and mp3s as much as the next band—but he does very much miss the days of congregating at the record store and searching through its bins. And this is his wistful spin on remembering. Buy the brand new single "Digital Killed the Record Store" today at iTunes or Amazon.

Ian McGlynn Takes Dubai!
Ian McGlynn and Dave Macarone would like to welcome you to downtown Dubai.

They were asked to create the music for their worldwide, Internet-based campaign driving tourism to this crazy city. They composed and performed the music for more than a dozen breathtaking videos directed by Gary Nadeau for the NYC ad agency Strawberry Frog. And it's like nothing they've ever done before. The score ranges from epic indie rock to intimate, atmospheric gorgeousness. Dreamy piano, anthemic guitar, authentic Middle Eastern instruments, a refrain penned by Ian's cohort Chris Newkirk, and so much more.

Even if you're not thinking of planning a trip to Dubai, you should plan a quick trip to www.mydowntowndubai.com — we promise you it will be worth your time (it will take you on a comprehensive trip through town in mere minutes). To view all 13 videos we recommend visiting the Dubai channel on Vimeo instead. It's easier to navigate through and the videos are in HD: http://vimeo.com/channels/163775

See the sights while listening to our sounds. Check it out!
