Jason Debo

My Apologizes Jason’s Review accidentally got deleted I am not sure how. But here it is again with a newer MP3.
Jason DEBO. For one of the most modest/timid front men in the history of modern music how pretentious is it to refer to your last name in all CAPS? In either case, DEBO’s new CD Eucalyptus Fields of Sugar Cane draws comparisons of a well produced/not drunk Guided By Voices and Versus. If you want to take it even one step further, Whysall Lane, a Versus side project emulates a similar aura and tone. The song on the album that stands out the most is Wrong Thing, Right Place, a stripped down acoustic power/pop endeavor. This song reels you in with a hook catchier than a fleet of Japanese fishermen and captivates your attention with it’s use of a strategically placed 2nd acoustic guitar. However, I must say that after seeing Jason DEBO live he relies far too much on his backing band to create a wall of sound to hide behind. The power of his guitar strums on the recording do not match the subtle innocence of his lackadaisical hand live. It would be interesting to see DEBO unplugged, as he would eviscerate an anti-rock star vulnerability. For what it’s worth DEBO is pushing the envelope with his down to earth presence and straight forward anthems. In a world of music plagued by bands so quick to jump on the idea of genres and false pretenses, this disc is a safe investment for connoisseurs of the natural progression of rock/pop.

Computer DJS

Ok there are a lot of people who just don’t understand the what it means to keep it real when DJing. First of all hence the name. DJ=Disc Jockey. Keyword DISC. It can be Wax or CDs. Wax is cooler ,but you are still keeping it real. It’s not macbook jockey. Now with computers I still respect people who rock Ableton that shit is basically a sampler on steroids and is only as good as the person using it. Basically A DJ who rocks wax is equal to the dude who plays a Fender Straight out of a Marshall 1/2 stack. A DJ who rocks a computer is that lame dude from guitar center who plugs their PRS into a line6 pod, records the shit thru many fruity digitech pedals into their recording rig. Next they put that shit on DAT so when the song starts they press play on the dat machine and they got an extra guitarist live. BASICALLY YOU GOT NO FEEL. It shows in the music too. Like what the man Lanois and Bob Dylan said “Money can’t buy you feel”. And if you disagree, just remember, computers made J LO possible. Anyway keep it real.
