Jack Johnson: Threat or Menace?

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Can he be stopped? How?

Also why is his bloody song all over Radio 1 despite it hardly doing anything in the charts?

I blame Mr D.Ownloader and his pals.

tsk. ...actually, he's one of those things where my desire to tell it like it is re: shite records and my craven fear of upsetting anyone I know by dissing what they love would really kick in. (and they do really love him! which is what I really can't understand, mild fondness would be more plausible given how very wallpaper-dull it is.)

More that when people have listened to their RHCP albums enough times they need to find something new and yet comfortingly familiar in the absence of another 'californication', and JJ is what they light on. I think of him as album-sales rather than singles, not yet able to factor in mr d.ownloader and his chums.

I enjoy Jack Johnson. It is slightly above-mild fondness for him; he does have some mellow gems, a lot of above-average and average tunes, and the occasional song which makes me contemplate suicide/murder-suicide ("Banana Pancakes," of course, being the chief offender. In many many ways).

it was me and dom did as well i guess; young innocents are sent to australasia and the pacific coast then come back with the most heinous music known to man in there grips deluded by memories of surfing and sun and stuff they believe it to be mystical laid back wonderfulness rather than turgid shit.
