The totally impending Mike Donovan solo trip How to Get Your Record Played In Shops is, like any great work of emancipation, not without its label-branded promotional portent! As we are still six weeks from drop-down date, how's about a second taste? Dig "Spiral Tee Shirt"!

Does anything exemplify the prevailing cultural mood of tech apology more than the plight of the San Francisco cab driver?  Driven to the brink of existence, this nearly forgotten and highly skilled lot of John Henry's continue to hammer through the heavy traffic of ride-share-part-timers while the city sleeps, eats and shits the smartphone love letter blues.  The "Spiral Tee Shirt" vid features Mike Donovan in a role he's not unfamiliar with - SF taxi driver!  But its a supporting role: the real star of the show here is the beautiful leading lady known 'round the world as San Francisco.  She's "still beautiful," as they always say when talking about sky high rents (or homeless tent cities). And this vid confirms it, as it coincides with the comings and goings of Mike's sharp-elbowed song - yep, still beautiful!
