How did you hear of Jack's Mannequin? 
I was a big fan of Something Corporate back in high school and when I went to college I learned that Andrew had started a side project called Jack's Mannequin.

I am curious to see how the video feature works on the site so I looked around in my webcam folder and pulled this cover out. Enjoy!

Technical Difficulties

My computer crashed at the start of this week and it has been in the shop ever since. This blog isn't dead, it will just take until the end of the week to get my computer fixed.

For the Jack's fan who has everything.... JM Shoes!

I'm a pretty big Jack's Mannequin fan but getting Jack's shoes may be a little over the top. Tom Delonge mentions in the interview below that they will be coming out soon and a portion of the proceeds will go to the Dear Jack foundation. Hopefully they are sexy and dark blue...

The Mixed Tape - Cover

Submitted by DarkBlue on Tue, 03/03/2009 - 1:31am

I have a whole bunch of videos with me practicing songs in my webcam folder so I thought I'd pull out a Jack's Mannequin one and share it with everyone. Its a slower, more peaceful version with just me and my guitar that was inspired by the Hurley acoustic sessions. You can check it out here.

I'm not looking to win any awards for this... I'm just having fun playing the music that I love =)

JM and SoCo Greatest Hits

Submitted by DarkBlue on Sun, 03/01/2009 - 12:35pm

I was driving home with a friend the other night and when we were listening to my IPod on shuffle a Jack's Mannequin song came up. She really liked what she heard and I offered to make her a mix CD to introduce her to some new music. What do you think are the best songs to introduce someone to Jack's Mannequin? Since they only have two records I am going to use Something Corporate songs as well. So far my tracklist is:

1. The Mixed Tape (JM, Everything In Transit)
2. Bruised (JM, Everything In Transit)
3. Dark Blue (JM, Everything In Transit)

After visiting this website using both Internet Explorer and Firefox I can see a big difference in the amount of loading time between pages. Internet Explorer will generally take me 10 seconds to load a new page whereas Firefox takes only 2 seconds. Is anyone else having a similar experience? Why can Firefox download the web page at such a fast speed compared to Internet Explorer?

Anyways, if you aren't using firefox to view the new website I suggest you download it right away.

Hammers and Strings tour highlights 2008

Submitted by DarkBlue on Fri, 02/27/2009 - 5:08pm

I have only seen Jack's Mannequin in concert once during the Hammers and Strings tour 2008 but I am convinced it will go down as one of my favorite shows of my entire life. The music I was a part of that night is what moves me to make such a bold statement but there were alot of other events that made the trip so memorable. Some interesting things about my trip were:

* Paying an online scalper $133 for a ticket that cost $30. Honestly, the best money I ever spent.

* Driving 457km from Winnipeg, MB, Canada to see a show in Minneapolis, MN.
