this one is a mystery, a mystery i cannot seem to solve. typically records i have come from three sources 1. own personal collection 2. promos 3. a super secret spot i cant tell you about. californian nick shattell’s not an airplane doesnt seem to come from any of those 3 sources. then from where i ask you? khan!!!!!!!!! maybe i just haphazardly was downloading stuff one day, from somewhere, and decided to download not everything is loveable cause his chosen moniker comes eerily close to a gbv song which is entitled “you’re not an airplane.” luckily, he sounds nothing like gbv. i say luckily, cause that’s one road that no band should really ever travel down. his six song ep, not everything is lovable, is pretty damn cool piece of singer/songwriter americana. dont know where you can pick this up other than a show, but check out his myspace page for some additional info, im assuming.
