The "Anal" Mic: A Follow-Up

Back in February, I had a post about an "anal" microphone.  This has nothing to do with the mic itself but of where it was positioned during the recording of the drum tracks.  See?

Phil--whose ass you see above--emailed to let me know that his band is finished their project.  Have a listen.

More More From the Inbox, 31 March 2013: Shotgun Jimmie, Soft Bullets, Zolas, Reputante and Khaled Djani

By Scott Jones

Artist: Shotgun Jimmie

Album: Everything, Everything

This road-weary band has got it going on. The opening track to their “Everything, Everything” release is so deceptively short that it leaves listeners wanting more of its buzzing, British backbeat, and that is a sign that the choice of this tune as their leadoff was a good one. It’s a statement comparative to Elvis Costello’s dynamic“Welcome to the Working Week” from his landmark “My Aim Is True” LP. Would you shut off the turntable after tasting that quick opener? Absolutely not. Gotta keep ‘em wanting more. 

Sounds like: A 21^st-century pub-rock frenzy in a bottle.
