ooooo this is a very good thing to buy. Jack Johnson on and on is a great album. A mix of relaxing chilling acoustic session work with a slight pinch of a reggae in there. I just bought about 2 hours ago and wow i really really really enjoy it. It is JIZZTASTIC!!!

Em, I don't feel strongly either way about him.

His lyrics are okay, his music is pleasant, he seems a laid back guy.

My indifference is probably a bad thing, I think he's too safe, doensn't do anything for me personally.

He's great. I love the whole chilled out surf style acoustic stuff. There was nothing better than chucking on some Jack Johnson whilst sitting and watching the sun set over West Beach in Adelaide and sinking a few Carlton Cold's.

If you like him it's also worth checking out Donavon Frankenreiter, Ben Harper, G-Love and Special Sauce, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Xavier Rudd, John Butler Trio and Mason Jennings. All cracking in my opinion.

This is an ancient thread btw...

Yaaaaaaaaaawn. Get some new material please. Your lack of anything interesting to say bores me.

Yaaaaaaawn. Get some new cultural associations please. Your playing out of fantasies derived from the media bores me.

I used to live in Adelaide and Jack Johnson's music reminds me of some great times.

I guess it could translate to anything really, it's more of a personal thing. You do realise how associative memory works don't you?

Which is probably why my hatred of Jack Johnson re-affirms my hatred of surfers, Australian or otherwise.

Edit: I'd actually probably call it more of a semi-hostile indifference, rather than a specific hatred.
