I love receiving
real letters / parcels by the good old unreliable, nearly obsolete rectal /
postal system (gimme some physical media DAMMIT!!!). Physical, physical I wanna
get physical let`s get into physical lemme hear your body talk. I`m getting
carried away, again (kinda easy in my case). Anyways, where was I? Oh yeah, this
is the latest Shy Rights Movement short, short, ok then,
mini-album (4 songs 17.25 minutes). SRM is the solo music project from
one Mark Ritchie. Mark is also the head cheese / writer of my favorite
monthly zine, the one and only `Hiroshima Yeah! `. The music on this
album is pretty basic. Mark sings and plays electric guitar at the same
time (just like a twotopus i.e. two hands octopus). I like this mini album a
lot. The songs are a nice mix of indie / alternative / country / low-fi with a
nice homemade feeling. The electric guitar sounds at times sludgy / grungy,
kinda like a threesome between Tad, Low and maybe Neil Young`s more electric
guitar moments, good stuff. Mark does a nice version of `Big night
`(written by Mark Eitzel, taken from American Music Club`s second
album `Engine`). Contact:
