A NEW BROOKLYNVEGAN FEATURE
Everyone please help me welcome Jackson Pollis to BrooklynVegan.com. In additon to just generally being a huge music fan, Jackson can be found DJing at clubs and parties all over NYC, most often at Misshapes, and recently on the main stage of the Village Voice Siren Festival in Coney Island. Jackson, a life-long Brooklyn resident, is also in a band and has starred as a Power Ranger on the hilarious television program Wonder Showzen. Jackson is a pretty busy guy, and now he's even busier because he just took on another gig - providing us all with approximately five ~~beats~~ MP3 links a day. We're calling it, creatively enough, "Jackson's MP3 Roundup. This is his first post....

JACKSON BEHIND A FAN ON STAGE AT SIREN
Jackson Pollis DJing Siren

* Bands like Blonde Redhead, Sonic Youth, Mogwai, and Yo La Tengo recorded sessions for the BBC. Get some of them as MP3s. [Kwaya Na Kisser]

* The new Thunderbirds Are Now record (Make History) is due out in the fall off French Kiss. Some new tracks have leaked. One features SNL's Fred Armisen on drums and many others doing backing vocals! [Good Hodgkins]

* Leaked Scissor Sisters, Basement Jaxx, and The Rapture. [Between Thought And Expression]

* No MP3 here, just be prepared for Hot Snakes Live Album. [Gimme Tinnitus]

* Finally, new Polytechnic, The Knife remix, new Andrew WK?..and more! [Bliss]

* Ratatat and Teddybears are just some of Chris' favorites this month. [Gorilla Vs. Bear]

Yeah!
Jackson

if jackon isn't really writint about the music, but rather rounding up the mp3s, is the sole purpose of jackson's weekly round up , merely to introduce him to us and promote him?
I dont' get it. I mean, don't you do this already?

I'm not really sure what you're asking/saying.

isnt this kid like 16?? get him out of the clubs and force him to go bowling or other dumb shit everyone else did when they were 16.

i only meant, jackson is sort of doing what you are doing everyday, except it's jackson. since he barely writes anything next to his directory of links worth checking out, what's the point of having jackson? b/c he's cute? he's trying to start up a DJ gig and this is good promotion? I'm not hating, I just dont' get it since he's doing exactly what you did already.

What I observed, at McCarren Savy Fav, is that Jackson is also an excellent video cameraman.

Feel free to throw in some vid links J!

IS HE VEGAN?

"i only meant, jackson is sort of doing what you are doing everyday."

I actually haven't dedicated any space lately to solely linking to random MP3s. I want to though - that's why there's Jackson.

His daily posts won't be as Jackson-promotional as I made the first one on his behalf.

Hipster scum!

does jackson ever feel like kicking his own ass? he's too beautiful to listen to hot snakes.

Posted by allen iverson | August 1, 2006 5:03 PM

More MP3's = Less time to be productive at work. Good stuff. On slow days maybe you could link music video's from youtube.com as well.

Man, Jackson stop trying to take over the world. See you soon.

With Jackson's arrival to handle MP3 searches, should we expect BV himself to devote more time to writing thoughtful, long-essay pieces on, say, the state of minimalism in indie rock and what it means for indie record shops in the East Village?
