Jack Johnson

Ricardo

Any fans here? First heard him on my son's ipod. Now I have a Pandora station with him and have found some other pretty decent singers.

muncybob

I like some of his stuff...but a lot of what I have heard sorta sounds the same to me?

shack

My daughter had the CD "In Between Dreams" and I gave it a listen. I agree with muncybob, a least on that CD, everything was repetitious...and while not bad...it just wasn't that interesting.

Ern Dog

I have a couple of his CD's. They don't stay in regular rotation, so they aren't my favorites, but fun to listen to every now and then. Recording quality is above average in my opinion.

Ricardo

You guys are probably right. I do like his style though. Led me to Gary Jules via Pandora and I think he's also good.

And how about this guy. I think he's awesome (When will we be able to embed videos in this section??)

Ricardo, I dig Jack's music, plus you can find most of his stuff on QUALITY vinyl. He's a cool dude, a surfer actually. Likes to schedule his tours around where the good waves will be. Priorities.

Cheers,
Russ

My son bought one of his CD's for my wife. I enjoy his sound, haven't listened so much that it sounds repetitive, and find the recording quality of the CD to be superior.

Ricardo

Probably what makes this particularly interesting for me is that I never thought I'd like music that my 19 years old son listens.

My daughter likes his stuff, and I don't mind his music and he has some pretty good songs. As long as she's not playing K$sha, it's all good.

Ricardo - I have a Gary Jules CD I like. I can't remember which one, but it has his version of Mad World on it.

I'm going to break up the lovefest and say that i don't dig it. At all.

I heard that version in the movie The Crazies and really liked it. I didn't know it was Gary Jules until yesterday when I heard it in Pandora.

Jack Johnson? The favorite drug for Bro Rapists.

I believe he's dead and weighed something like 1000 pounds. That was on the Meet Joe Black soundtrack, that's where I heard it first.

You mean the Boxer, right? Jack Johnson..early 1900s?

What are Bro Raptists? Am I going to have to google that because I'm 'older'? lol

Right. Still, he had a great voice.

Bro Rape

Bro rape is a rape that has gone over looked for decades, and its risen 44% in the last year, what is a bro? A bro is 18-24 year old male who likes to play game cube and/or Xbox & listen to jack johnson and dave matthews band. They love natty ice, wearing their livestrong bracelet, and family guy. There main scent is any of the Axe body sprays. Usually there attire consists of Birkenstocks, ripped jeans, an abercrombiee water polo, and a hat with a pre-frayyed brim. They use phrases like "bro-out" or "chill". For every suburban house party 4 bros will be raped and only 1 in 7 bros will tell their boys what happened.

Do you wear Birkenstock sandals and a "Livestrong" bracelet? Do you like Family Guy, or play "ultimate frisbee", or wear a baseball cap with a pre-frayed brim? Are you now, or have you ever been, a Jack Johnson fan? If you answered DEAR GOD YES to any of these questions, then you may be a Bro. And being a Bro makes you a prime candidate for Bro Rape. Bro Rape... don't let it happen to you.

bro 1: Yo wanna come over and chill. We can play game cube and take off our pants.

bro 2: BRO RAPE!

Bro, You're A God Among Bros

By Zach Caldwell
September 5, 2007 | ISSUE 43•36

You know you're one of my top bros, bro, because you got my back. And I got yours. You're my bro. But you went above and beyond the other night, bromaldehyde. You really did. Saving me that seat at the Velvet Revolver show, even though all those other bros were trying to get up front, bro? So clutch.

You are truly a god among bros.

Just when I think you're as solid as a bro can get, you raise the very definition of brodom to new heights. You're like a brogle, soaring to the farthest reaches of the atbrosphere. Seriously. If it weren't for you and your extreme brobility to hook a bro up when it is most croosh, I'd have been stuck in some ****-**** seat, cramped all in the corner with a bunch of ****-asses, bro. But you stepped up. You brovercame all obstacles to help a bro out. This is the kind of *manure* that makes bros for life.

Brody, I was so stoked when you told Gina to go eat a fat one after she asked if she could have your other ticket, even though you knew you could probably get a pretty deese HJ from her. Bros before hos, bro. That's what I'm talking about.

You are the king of all bros. Brotankhamen. You are the Ayatollah Bromeini. You are Broseidon, lord of the brocean.

But this is just one of many times you've fallen on a grenade for me, brozo. Who took the blame when I broke Skeeter's bong and *effing* Skeeter was all *effing* pissed? You, bro. Who was the first to bro up and carry that *effing* keg of Killian's up four flights of stairs for Duke's surprise party? You, bro. Who was the only Bromo sapien on the planet to tell me he thought the brand-new rims on my F-350 were the *manure* even though everyone else was all, like, *effing* not that excited about them? Bro, you know it was you. You're my broheim supremo, bro, and don't you ever forget it.

I'm so *effing* glad we're bros, bro!

I've long admired your absolute broficiency in all things bro-related, and the way you've always carried yourself in a brofessional manner. I consider you a brole model. When I was new in this town, you took me under your wing and showed me the bropes. And I will always preesh that. Not only did you school me in proper brotocol, but you were a spiritual leader, a confidant, and, more importantly, a bro. You taught me how to be true to my inner bro and to bros around me. You are a real bro. Not a fake bro, like those other douches. I hate fake bros, bro. Faux breaux. *Eff* that. No, really, bro…you're practically a bro-ther to me.

Look at you, blasting in like Rambro and firing off your launcher like nobrody's business, bro. Serious Brotosaurus Rex action. Brodius Maximus. I'm not big on labels, but you, more than any of the wiggers, ****, goth chicks, dorks, homos, or Mexicans I know, are absolutely beyond rebroach.

In fact, your brotitude is so brossential that, in many ways, you are the ultimate brototype: You sprung out of the brotean ooze at the very broment of creation, unformed, unmolded, and became the ultimate bro, more powerful than any who came brofore. I don't fear your power, bro, but I respect it. And I will always brobey it.

Brosemite Sam. Potassium Bromide. Brobi Wan Kenobi. Brover Norquist.

Like Broseph Stalin, you are leading the way to the dictatorship of the broletariate. It is truly revbrolutionary. Like the Bro v. Wade of our generation. You brobliterate the enemy from the very peak of Mt. Brolympus. That's some *manure*. That's brolific. But that's the kind of bro you are.

Bro-S.A.! Bro-S.A.! I'm so pumped right now! Bro-S.A.!

You are the epitome of bro, in every brossible way, and that's the Bro's honest truth, bro. I may have a bropensity for broverstatement, but this no mere hyperbrole: You are 100 brocent, absbrolutely the broest. Brotally.

I wish I had the words to describe what a good friend you are, dude.

That's pretty graphic--so it was just a typo--Bro Rapists. Thanks, I guess. Now that I read this I am not sure I really wanted to know it.

Now should I listen to JJ to see how he 'captures' this ethos?

Demiurge

Bro, totally, bro.

zingo

Maybe it's because I have family who live in Santa Barbara where he is from, but I dig Jack Johnson. I like his recording quality and how his albums have a very intimate sound to them. It can get a little repetitive, but it's a good reminder to just sit back and enjoy the music.

danger boy

Does Jack Johnson have a greatest hits CD out?
