“I’m not going to limit myself just because people won’t accept the fact that I can do something else.”
All in Music
The benefit (well, a benefit) of having an almost-decade-older sibling is that there weren’t a lot of pop-cultural limitations growing up*. This isn’t to say we were sitting down as a family to catch that new movie on Cinemax or anything; we were down with Cliff and Claire. Still, I don’t remember being told “you can’t watch that**,” "you can't read that," or “you can’t listen to that.”
Picture it. Nashville. 1985ish. Satin jackets. Badminton rackets. Power pop. That was the world of The Jackers; a sibling duo who brought the house down at every show. Well, not literally. That would've resulted in a really long Time Out.
Consider yourselves VIPs on this trip down memory lane which, coincidentally, is made up of highways and interstates that'll take us from Nashville, TN, to Prattville, AL, to Austin, TX. I'll be updating the blog with posts between now and October 2 (the "go" date of the tour part of the tour) and then the hope is to have posts, video and other multi-media from the road. You can follow updates on Twitter through @_TheJackers.
The Best of 2012 - now with television and movie references and a Spotify playlist!
In 2011, I stopped making physical CDs for everyone except myself and my brother. I still miss CDs and know that if nothing else, this will be the reason I don't survive the robot invasion. Another 2011 trend - more female musicians than in earlier years. Interesting...
2010 was a formative year, mainly because with the dissolution of lala.com, I had to find a new way to find new music. It was all sad, very very sad.
