Jack JohnsonSleep Through the Static 6 out of 10 It's a Tuesday night. You get home from work, tired and beat, and you're ready to pour yourself a drink. Do you reach for the bottle of red wine, or the peach schnapps? I liken Jack Johnson to peach schnapps; if the occasion calls for it, why not? But last time I checked, you would never pour yourself a glass of schnapps on any old day. I've found that Jack Johnson can put you in the mood. A really, really good mood. Alt... MORE

Trouble travels fast When you’re specially designed for crash testing Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon Come on and tell us what you’re trying to prove Because it’s a battle when you dabble in war You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it And send it to somebody who’s pretending to care Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them Over c...

Spinner has a grand selection of streaming albums this week. That's right, they stream entire albums and rotate the selection weekly. This week, however, features some unusual gems that I am devouring with glee at this moment. The list is topped by a genius album by Jack Johnson, Sleep Through the Static, which was "completely recorded by solar-powered analog tape machines"!! Next on the list is Carl Craig's new double disc of classic hits, new remixes and previou... MORE

In 2005 the people who brought you Bonnaroo launched yet another music festival, this one in Las Vegas called Vegoose. Jack Johnson played it. Daft Punk played it. Widespread Panic played it. Rage Against The Machine played it. Arcade Fire played it. The Shins played it. Lots of bands played it in the three years it ran. But for the average concert goer...two full days of music followed by Sin City all-nighters during Halloween weekend could have felt like too much. Toda... MORE

Before i mentioned OK Computer as an easy listening CD, and i have tons more, but one that truly sticks out is In Between Dreams. First atrracted by the album art, it soon struck me that Jack Johnson actually plays good music, amazing music in fact. I quickly listened to the rest of the CD and fell in love with it. Songs like Sitting, Waiting, Wishing and Banana Pancakes, really just allow me to relax. I listen to it when i wake up, doing homework, playing games (cept GH),... MORE

I wish I'd thought of this one for a friend's recent birthday; I wanted to find just the right song but her taste in music is quite different from mine in surprising places and I hesitated because I didn't want to commit a _faux pas_. But Upside Down? What's not to like! It just conjures up a warm summer day. and Jack's cute. and I LOVE the mini video MOG put on with it. Here goes:
