Jack Allsopp found solace in hip hop and house music during the days of his youth in North London. Now as an artist with the modest pseudonym Just Jack, his rhythmic vocals lay down catchy melodies over pop-funk dance beats that'll satiate your electro-inclined taste buds. Jack's rap delivery is also distinctly British sounding, similar [...]

To welcome the onset of fall and all its glories we bring you an extremely funky mix from none other than James Curd of Greeskeepers. Celebrating all things "boompty," James' mix is a perfect snapshot of the shape of house to come. Track listing 1. pnau - with you forever 2. the ting tings - shut up and let me go 3. cassius - toup toup 4. estelle feat kanye west - american boy 5. datarock - fa fa fa 6. skinny joey - area 45 7. alex metric - [...]

A late contender for your summer compilation CD is Kid Rad 's 'When Clouds Break'. It's an updated, british version of 'Summertime' by JJ&TFP with a less obvious, more thoughtful title. You'll have to burn a new copy with this on the playlist. Lyrically, it's not lyrical. It's just good times - cars and cash and that. The chorus is sung by female vocalist, Corrina Joseph , and the one jarring note aside, it's not too bad. We should expect more sensible [...]

Popop

Kui aeg-ajalt juhtub, et isegi tihemini kui kord paari nädala jooksul tuleb keegi tundmatu juurde, uurib, kas on tegu ikka õige inimesega ja väidab end olevat Popopi püsilugeja ja fänni, võib täiesti vabalt hakata end tundma staarblogijana. Siis vajub asi aga jälle ära ja hakkab tunduma, et elu polegi lill. Või kui veel ikka on, siis mitte kõige ilusam lill. Et elu oleks edaspidigi pigem orhidee kui ohakas, paningi tänase postituse juurde oma pildi, et oskaksite mind ära tunda ja tänutunde ning loorberipärgadega üle kallata. Tõetruu ning fotona näiva portree autor on Scott Anderson, [...]

Just Jack is so far from being a new kid on the block... he released his debut album in 2002, and Overtones in 2007. Yet, for some reason it seems that here in Australia he was (almost) completely overlooked/missed??? What The Fuck!? How can one country make such a collosal mistake... besides, say, America electing G.W .... but still - BIG MISTAKE - he's amazing!.... I mean, He's like a god in Holland.... HOLLAND! The ony conclusion I can make is that the entire musically inclined portion of our fine nation was too drunk... or something..? [...]

Here's Snoopy's Valentine's Mix. Not much to say except that we have a crush on Snoopy. Digital Love- Daft Punk ("Oh, I don't know what to do, about this dream and you. I wish this dream comes true") First Love- The Maccabees ("Are you cool? Symmetricool? Hypocriticool? Analyticool?") Lovefool (Cardigans cover)- Just Jack ("Reason will not lead to solution. I will end up lost in confusion, I don't care if you really care, as long as don't go") [...]

Just Jack - Overtones (Universal) Une des révélation de l'année que ce Just Jack , plus d'un an qu'on adorait Writer's Block et son refrain magnifique, on a donc pas été tellement surpris quand ça a commencé à marcher un peu partout (et l'entendre à la télé sans cesse !) On est ravi pour lui, même si on est passé à autre chose depuis. Just Jack est assez symbolique de cette nouvelle génération d'artistes, qui se sont affranchis des chapelles, et racontente leur vie dans un nouveau [...]
Kylie Minogue a colaborat recent cu domnul Just Jack cu ocazia lansarii albumului Overtones , al doilea din cariera britanicului, pe piata americana. Rezultatul acestei colaborari se numeste I Talk Too Much , o piesa electro-pop destul de frumusica si fara prea mari pretentii. =) MP3: Just Jack - I Talk Too Much (featuring Kylie Minogue)
It's been a few weeks since I've posted, due to a general disinterest in writing and having other things to do - like play with the kids, or watch Around The Horn and PTI, or veg to CNN and so on and so forth. I have still been consuming as much music as before, I just haven't felt the urge to tell you about it. Well, that changes today with this funky Friday playlist. Dinosaur L - #1 (You're

Love 'em or hate 'em, the 1980s were a pretty high-larious decade. From Ronald Reagan to "The Karate Kid," the decade's legacy is generally regarded as easy to ridicule, an era built on ugly clothes ( hello Don Johnson !), uglier hairstyles ( hello mullet !) and shitty pop music ( hello Don Johnson !). None the less, it's a decade we love - for all this and... Love 'em or hate 'em, the 1980s were a pretty high-larious decade.

(photos from China, the [much] larger gallery is here ) So this will be my last post from China. As you might guess from the headline, it has not been all smooth sailing over here. But it has been a great trip and a beautiful country. Seeing my sister for the first time in almost a year was awesome. I also met some pretty cool travelers, which reminded me one of the reasons why I like doing this in the first place. Although I think I'm done climbing mountains for a while. The list picks [...]

Track: Glory Days Artist/Band: Just Jack Label: Mercury UK Duration: 3:40 Description: The video for Just Jack's new UK single, Glory Days, out in the UK on April 16th. Formats available: Flash(.flv) | Windows Media (Stream)| MP3 Just Jack - "Glory Days (Switch Mix)"

Du gros son maintenant, fini la sieste. Deux remixes signés Switch , un anglais que tout le monde s'arrache y compris les deux succès pop du moment dont je n'aime pas spécialement les disques. Que ce soit Just Jack ou Mika, dont les premiers singles promettaient respectivement des nouveaux Stereo Mc's et Scissor Sisters et qui s'avèrent sur la longueur d'un album de la soupe pour rester poli. Heureusement il y a les faces B qui consacrent une bonne fois pour toutes le producteur qui a récemment maltraité avec bonheur Robbie ou P.Diddy. Just Jack [...]
Het is alweer een lange tijd geleden dat ik zoveel losse nummers had lig-gen. Toch wilde ik die eigenlijk wel op de site plaatsen, want deze gewel-dige nummers wil ik niemand onthouden. Laten we dus maar snel begin-nen met (toch alweer) de negende log van de rubriek Just A Few Songs.Het eerste nummer had even tijd nodig om door te komen, maar toenhet eenmaal in mijn hoofd zat ging het er ook niet ...

Point your finger to the future and peer into the crystal ball and uncover what the musicscene will be like in 2007 - or something. Metacritic has compiled that long releaselist with bands. Quite some interessting ones there. But also much bands as Arcade Fire, Of Montreal, The Shins, etc. etc. These bands always gain lots of bloghype, so we don't wanna add to much there. BBC has done the crystal ball thingy and put their money on ten new bands to watch in 2007. Some of these already has a blogosphere folilowing and [...]
Good old auntie (the BBC for those not from the UK) have released their top ten list of bands and artists to watch in 2007. This is my take on their pickings: 10. The Rumble Strips [MySpace] It is about time these guys get huge! I first saw their promo video for Motorcycle at the end of [...]
