It was a sweet day when we decided to go in Barcelona to see the Australian living legends. So, along with game master Tibi Puiu, a few friends and a handful of whisky and tequila bottles we head out for Spain's cultural capital. We tried to visit as much as possible there, so we missed about 15 minutes from the opening band's show, The Answer. There was also a Spanish band before them, but I couldn't find out much about them. The Answer are definitely a band worthy of opening for AC/DC, but it seemed to [...]

Just seen a guy waling up the street with the old, Can you jack? Tshirt...seems like jack is definitely on the come-back. This quality smooth acid continues to sound fresh, and still forms the sound of the underground 20 years after it was made!

Jaggedly Assaulting Cannibalistic Killers, or possibly Jumping Anatomical Caribbean Kinfolk, or even Jiving Alligators Carrying Keyboards…whatever J.A.C.K. means they just want to let you know "they stand for something." This four piece of raucous and raging musicians, with a mystery meaning behind their acronym, are releasing their first full-length album, Deletist , from Yabyum Records on June 16. Subtle melodic intros complimented by crashing climactic finishes, and powerful vocals; the true meaning behind the ambiguous J.A.C.K. is up for you to decide. Tracks like "Whorse" and lead off jam [...]
Naturally, the RIAA aren't so stupid as to push Guy Hands into the battle to persuade Congress to pass a radio royalty for recorded music. Instead, they find a slightly more p=heart-rending spokesperson : Jack Ely, the singer whose 1963 version of "Louie Louie" still makes the rounds on oldies radio, lives with his wife in a mobile home on a horse ranch in Oregon. Ely says they share $30,000 a year from her teacher's pension and his Social Security checks. They are paying down a mortgage. So sometimes it bothers Ely, 65, when he [...]

Για το τελευταίο post πριν το Πάσχα σκεφτήκαμε να κάνουμε ένα παντελώς άσχετο θεματικό αφιέρωμα. Άσχετο γιατί.. τι αφιέρωμα να κάνει κανείς στο Πάσχα? Θεματικό γιατί έχουμε πάρα πολύ καιρό να κάνουμε. Ορίστε λοιπόν, για όλους τους τυχερούς που θα ταξιδέψουν στο Λονδίνο [όχι, δεν είμαι ένας από αυτούς] έντεκα από τα πολλά τραγούδια γραμμένα για την υπέροχη Βρετανική πρωτεύουσα.. ή καλύτερα με το όνομά της στον τίτλο τους: 1. Jack - The Emperor Of New London [box] [...]

Wow! Just got this fantastic mix sent over from former Chicago resident now LA playboy, FEVERSS . It's a nonstop dance party to get you going for this warmer weather. You know, something to get you pumped up while cruising your bike to the party or just joyriding in your car. It's a good time for all.

Sorry I've been so absent in the electric world of beats (well, in terms of this blog) but I thought I'd return with another installment of jack history. Chip E, the self-proclaimed "Godfather of House", released this track to clue people in to exactly what time it was. No, not a numerical indicator of a chronological state, this was more of an instruction for the dance floor (which sounds like it was issued from beneath a pillow). Nearly synchronous with the release of The Jacking Zone and numerous other jack tracks, it certainly was the time to jack in a [...]

This week in the fishwrap, departing Phoenix staffer Caitlin Curran interviews couples who are also bandmates and finds out how on earth they manage to have sex with each other while also making music together. The online version is expanded, with additional profiles of two of our favorite (and coincidentally, local) band/couples: Helms, and Damon and Naomi. The latter qualify as some kind of indie-folk romantic ideal, managing to balance not just love and rock but the music life and the literary life. In conjunction with the article, we're proud to [...]

I have two of the greatest things in the world for you. 1) A video of KITT from the new Knight Rider getting jacked while shooting in Toronto. All I know is... The Hoff would have beat some ass before he letting this happen! Update: confirmed fake, but the jokes on them because I still won't waste my time watching the show =) 2) The ridiculously hot new track produced by Diplo featuring Rye Rye & M.I.A. called "Tic-Toc"... life is good ...
The birth of a genre is a rare thing. In this day and age, most new concepts are simply a bridge of two pre-existing ideas with a teeny little hyphen. With Brooklyn's Previously On Lost , an epic and original genre is born: Recap Rock. And Taking Tiger Mountain has an exclusive download courtesy of the band. Previously On Lost spent the 4th season of Lost writing tunes inspired by each episode after they aired. Now that the show is done for the season, they've taken the full set of [...]

Dictionary.com lists thirty different definitions of the word jack and UrbanDictionary.com has nearly 60 entries. However, if you read all of them you would be more than slightly hazy about what exactly all the Chicagoans were hyping through house music in the mid-80's. Farley Jack master Funk, Chip-E's Time To Jack , Jack in' the House...those four letters were nearly a necessity for early house records. What are they talking about? I suppose it's a sound synonymous with early Chicago house...and that sound makes you jack. The concept of "jacking your [...]
