This (mainly) instrumental CD is easily my favorite new music of the year.
I’m mainly focused on music of my youth in this blog, and I’m notoriously resistant to anything called “new music.” But we discovered Jason in the second episode of Channel Frederator, in a music video created by Joel Trussell. Immediately, Jason’s sales spiked and we had to find out why. Kevin bought the album and shared it with me, and poof, I’m in love.
Hip hop production techniques, hard rock guitar, and the corniest Blood, Sweat & Tears sample, what more could you ask for?

Jason’s work is definitely infectious. It’s great to hear you’re diggin’ it. Corny Blood Sweat and Tears samples were the absolute selling point for me.
Now if I can just convince your buddies over at the Mighty Viacom to play in on MTV2 or something. Gulp!
Don’t stop the blogrock,

Joel, it was your ‘viking marching bands’ that convinced me to give this music a fair listen. Thanks for your film, and the heads up.
