As the sun drifts away and you stand facing the night its time to make a decision about the next few hours. Will you be breaking hearts or mending them? Never an easy choice. And even harder to do either right. Let JMSN spend 6 minutes helping you decide.Â

The open road is a blank page laying ahead of you, existing only in the future. Every decision is yet to be made and nothing behind you matters. That is until… you hit a bump. And then another. They dislodge a distant memory from the caverns of your mind and suddenly your thoughts are filled with rusty memories of a road you traveled long ago. The blank page is filling fast with the past. There is only one thing you can think to do with the four-wheeled memory machine beneath you. The ocean is just one left turn away. The last turn you will need to take. Read more
After not quite getting into JMSN when his buzz broke last year I dove back in the other day and found a few jams I really dig. I wanted to get prepped to see him live last night (with TBE faves GrizFolk and Warships). His 2012 record as JMSN, Priscilla, is a fantastic slow burn alternative to The Weeknd or Miguel but his live show oscillates between garage rock and falsetto R&B. All the while leaving me wondering what he was really about. And his live presence was “interesting” to say the least… (imagine a cross between Eminem and Jesus) Then today I found the really intriguing pieces. This tattooed and greasy long-hair used to be a major label pop “star” by the name of Christian TV. Just 2 years ago… While I think the music he is making today is much more interesting, he still needs to sort out his identity a bit.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. have always been kinda on the periphery of bands I pay attention to but with this rowdy party jam and accompanying good-time-smiles video I’m increasing their priority ASAP. Plus, you can’t argue with a good home-town repping track!
