Pocket Shelley San Francisco, California
Pocket Shelley is the desultory project of songwriter and keyboard player Michael Mullen, who is also the co-writer of the Size Queens and has collaborated with a number of (at the time) San Francisco-based musicians on their own projects.
Pocket Shelley recommends:
Consumption Work: Tammy, Cybertariat, At The Aral Sea
by The Size Queens
Okay, I co-wrote all the songs and played a bunch of instruments on all Size Queens releases. But lyricist Adam Klein is a genius! Opinions differ as to the best record, but I do love our Tammy.

The Incorrigible Danny Pearson sings the hermit's remonstrances
by Clodhopper / Danny Pearson
Danny was the bass player in American Music Club, and is a great songwriter in his own right. I played keyboards on a couple of tracks on this, but why not listen to Brothers, which I didn't play on?

The Graceless Age
by John Murry
John is a unique talent. Little Colored Balloons and Southern Sky deservedly got a lot of press, and it was my privilege to have played piano on both. #10 in Mojo Magazine's Top 50 albums of 2013.
