A while back I asked followers of the Quick Before It Melts Facebook Page if they'd be interested in a monthly mixtape. The response was an overwhelming yes. Okay, it was only about eight people, but still, I take that as a good sign. I know I've tried experiments like this before but maybe this time it will stick. No pressure to have it out on any particular day of the month, or to follow any kind of special theme (although this one does). It won;t be on SoundCloud, or on YouTube, or anywhere else; if you want [...]
Shotgun Jimmie Album: Transistor Sister (Buy) Label: Unsigned Shotgun Jimmie - Late Last Year Tweet
Holy crap! I knew Shotgun Jimmie 's new album, Everything Everything , was great, but I had no idea if it would be any good live. He killed it at the Biltmore over the weekend, performing a great set that had him playing drums with his feet and guitar with his hands. On one memorable tune, he played guitar with one hand, hammering onto the fretboard while playing the ride with his free arm. Everything Everything is below. This one is a lock for my upcoming Polaris ballot. [...]

![[Album Review] Shotgun Jimmie- Everything, Everything](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4891550_lg.jpg)
by Tiana Feng Rating: Release Date: March 26, 2013 Label: You've Changed Records Shotgun Jimmie follows up 20112s Transistor Sister with the appropriately named Everything, Everything. Like the cover, the album is snapshots of random and whimsical moments. Most songs fly by [...]
It's been another hefty week here at Pigeon Row headquarters. Rumour has it, a winter blitz is on the way so snuggle up with some features on Pigeon Row artists and clients that have come our way over the past seven days. The Chronicle Herald features Shotgun Jimmie and his upcoming Halifax show: "While the songs on his last release, 2011’s Transistor Sister, came about after a jaunt through Europe, Everything Everything has a glint of Americana about it (in a cultural, not musical, sense) with songs inspired by [...]
Canada recently lost a national treasure when Stompin' Tom Connors past away on March 6, 2013. There will never be another Stompin' Tom-may his dear soul rest in eternal peace and his songs live on in our hearts-but, if there's any one musician working in Canada today that has the potential to become as ingrained in the country's consciousness and culture as Connors did, it's Shotgun Jimmie . Let me tell you why I'm confident in making such a proclamation. Everything, Everything , Jimmie's fourth and latest solo record, is unencumbered [...]
TWIST / WHERE TO LIE / FEBRUARY 28TH Where to lie? 1) The doctors office: "I'd say 2-3 drinks a week. More or less." 2) The marriage bed: calm down honey bunny. Yes I do dream about those things and Bradley every night BUT If I'm lucid dreaming I DEFINITELY run away from them". 3) Comment sections in lifestyle and culture blogs "Wow, being a music reviewer sounds really hard. Better quit and never do it again ever." There are many places where one can lie but this column is not one of them. This is [...]

There's not much else I can say about Shotgun Jimmie . Jim is an under appreciated veteran of the Canadian scene with a catalog as consistent and accessible as Ikea furniture. Shotgun's riffs might not be put together with Allan keys, sweat and cursing, but you come to depend on them to support everything in your life. It's odd to think of an indie rock songwriter in these terms, but Jimmie is comforting and stable. He's dependable. Jim's last record, the Polaris long-listed [...]

My idea is pretty simple. Pick a label, and offer up five songs courtesy of five of their heaviest hitters. It's time to shine a light on the people still willing to venture down the thankless road of helping bands get their songs out and heard. With so much music being recorded at home and thrown blindly into the abyss, it's time to celebrate the Canadian outlets will risk losing their collective shirts to help make some money for bands and offer some stability. It's probably not kosher to talk about in public circles, [...]
![[Listen/Download] Shotgun Jimmie- Standing In A Line](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4810321_lg.jpg)
by Tiana Feng After touring with John K. Samson's Provincial Band, Shotgun Jimmie is finally releasing a follow up to his solo album Transistor Sister . Here's the short opener to the upcoming Everything Everything which will be released March 26th .
Shotgun Jimmie is poised to return with a new album. Everything, Everything has been given a March 26th release date. You can listen to the first track from the record, "Standing In Line", here:

Shotgun Jimmie dropped a new single from his upcoming album Everything, Everything which drops on March 26th. Standing in a Line is one minute of good ol' lo-fi rock tune. Sort of reminds me of Chad Van Gaalen mixed with Joel Plaskett. Have a listen to the song.
