From the Vault - Gunning for Jimmsy (2007)

Originally completed in 2007, Gunning for Jimmsy from the Wormfood album was at the time about as close to rock as I could get.  I was always entranced by the Guitar solo in The Ramones "I wanna be Sedated" and wanted to take a shot at something like that.  I played with panning the sound around to give it a little oomph beyond the repeated one note because try as I might it was hard to be satisfied with the results.  That's what I get for trying to do something specifically as opposed to letting it happen organically.  Between the simple baseline, one note guitar solo and the presence of absolutely no chords whatsoever in this song,  despite my efforts to hide the raging minimalist inside it still manages to sneak out from time to time.

I don't like how the soundclick player looks so if you really need to hear this song you're going to have to do it here or click on the song title above.
