Up in Smoke
He looks like a guy who’s done some time and knows a thing or two. One month out of jail, he wears aviators, sounds like De Niro and often mentions God. Who else could have pulled him through almost 32 years behind bars, shafted in the injust Florida prison system? His sentence was life imprisonment. His offense, smuggling marijuana. Incarcerated in 1989 at the age of 40, he’s now 71. His son was 11 when he was locked up, he’s now 43. They just spent their first Christmas together in 31 years. Richard DeLisi is out due to the Last Prisoner Project, who discovered his case from his family’s petition page, freedelisi.com, started by his son and nephew. He sits here today to talk with me, with his attorney Elizabeth Buchanan, who had to drive to him with her computer, so that we could speak v...
Teenage Fanclub Share ‘I’m More Inclined’ From Upcoming LP
Teenage Fanclub has shared “I’m More Inclined,” the third release from the upcoming Endless Arcade LP, the Scottish lineup’s first new music in four years. The album, says the band’s Norman Blake, addresses the fact that “We’re all getting older, and you can’t help but think about mortality, especially when you’re being creative and reflecting on your life.” Endless Arcade was originally scheduled to arrive on March 5; the new release date is April 30, 2021.

The Cali polymath doesn’t shy away from messy topics, working through heartbreak and relationship woes with elastic ease.
