MP3 of the Week
We are taking the whole family to Summerstage Monday night to see Jack Johnson.
The first time I heard Jack Johnson was on G Love's Philadelphonic when Jack sung Rodeo Clowns.
But it wasn't until WEHM started playing Flake non-stop in the summer of 2002 that we got really into Jack's music.
That whole album, Brushfire Fairytales, is great.
He has this great folky groovy sound that fits perfectly with his beach bum, surfer, background.
My favorite track on his new (and second) album is Wasting Time and so its my MP3 of the Week.
I'm a big Jack Johnson fan...be sure to check out Donovan Frankenreiter as well. Same sound and just as chill. I'm headed to the DC concert on Friday. Enjoy.

Fred continues to impress me with his musical tastes! Here's a treat for fellow A VC comment readers- I've uploaded the whole JJ 2002 Bonnaroo live show to http://nickgray.net/jj2002-06-02-avc/
This directory will expire in one week. I hope you like it as much as I do.... Ben Harper jumps in around track 15 or 16.
