Caught this on MTV-2 at the time (Feb 2001). Interesting stuff they used to play before going all top-40 like MTV.

  • @nimnestl I think you're right. Now that I've looked further into it I can see the prehistory of the shovel guitar and other similar instruments, thanks.

  • @stevenmiles Dude, this is YEARS before Shovelman! He's the rip off artist for crying out loud. Folk artists have been making guitars out of shovels, bed pans, cigar boxes, etc. for decades. What Shovelman did was turn it into a gimmick by calling himself...wait for it...Shovelman! Plus all the dude does is play rudimentary open-tuning blues drones on it. The guy's a joke.

  • this isn't Shovelman, is it? doesn't look like him to me at all.

  • @proflolsworthy lol its cause its mtv

  • I like that the guy just looks like your average office jockey rather than a crusty old hippy or a hip, vintage clothes wearing skiffle type. Fuck alternative fashions - white collar slavery is where it's at motherfuckers!
