Personal Party Playlist

So, the past couple days I've been dying of nervousness. I went from Monday until tonight dealing with terrible anxiety. What was I so worked up about? I asked someone out. I got over everything that has happened to me the past couple of months and asked somebody I really liked out. I walked right in to his office and put all my cards out on the table. After recovering from his shock he asked if I wanted to go on a date. That was my whole reason for telling him I liked him in the first place, so I said yes. I panicked up until literally the very last minute. I pulled myself together at 4:44. We were meeting in our lobby at 4:45. In my opinion the date went well. When I got back to my room I felt like the weight of the world was lifted off my shoulders and I was SO happy and full of energy. I had nothing to do get that energy out, so I decided to do what most "normal" people would do. I threw my own personal dance party.

So, whenever you're feeling overwhelmingly happy and have no way to get out all of your pent up energy, or you want to gain some energy and happiness, start blaring these tracks and let loose. (Keep in mind, these aren't songs that you hear on the radio and my own personal playlist)

Calibraska

"Hey it's that guy! Aren't you from vine?"

"Hell nah, I'm from Nebraska get your facts in line."

Two dudes with the same name came from Nebraska and are now killing it in LA. Jack and Jack are two teens from Nebraska, as I just said. Yes, they are well known from their Vines. They broke out in the music world in 2013-2014. They bring a whole new ingredient to pop and hip/hop music. The two of them have managed to mix the two genres perfectly! Don't believe me, check out their EP along with all of their other singles! I've touched on them before, but if you don't know who they are keep reading! :)

Jack Johnson

Jack Johnson is the smaller of the Jacks with blonde hair. He is also known as the rapper of the group. A lot of people say that white boys can't rap. They obviously haven't heard Johnson. He spits fire! Honestly, I think that he raps faster than a lot of the rappers that are all over the airways now. However, that's not a very popular opinion, so I better watch myself. Many people say that they speed up the verses. They can't exactly do that live and Johnson still kills it every time.

Jack Gilinsky

Jack Gilinsky is the other Jack in the duo. My Lord is he a looker! Both of them are pretty fine, but DAMN! Gilinsky isn't much of a rapper. He's a lot better with the actual singing parts of their music. He harmonizes well with Johnson and is a master with echoes. He vocally dominates most of the choruses. Gilinsky has a wide vocal range which is impressive for someone his age and his build.
Calibraska is a perfect example of who they are as artists and what their story is. The first track in California, which is about them moving from Nebraska to California to follow their dreams and that they're never going home. Shallow Love doesn't need much explaining. The title itself does that. The third track on the EP is How We Livin' and basically describes how they are living their life now. The fourth and final track on their EP is Wrong One. Personally it's my favorite, right next to California that is. The last track is pretty chill and is a story about falling in love with the wrong person and how that can fuck with your life and emotions. My opinion on the EP is that it is fricking awesome and deserves a shit ton of credit.
Both of them are very talented vocalists and lyricist. On top of that, they also have great senses of humor. That's actually how they got started--by posting humorous videos on Vine. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that they dabble in dancing. Bottom line is that these guys are talented weather you like them or not. I don't see how anyone can hate them when they're both so kind and down to earth. Their songs are always personal to them and are written from their own pasts and stories. They use it to help and encourage their fans. Not many artists do that now-a-days. So mad respect for that.
Today, Johnson actually spoke up about that. He said that he realizes their music isn't strictly rap/hip or pop, but more of a mix and that they're influences by a lot of different artists as well as themselves. He says that they write music for themselves and for their fans. He has a love for lyricism and Jack & Jack are going to keep progressing in the music industry because it's one of their true passions. They're going to keep doing what they love whether "you rock with it or not. End of story". -Jack J.

Soundtrack for the Brokenhearted

This isn't the best playlist of "break up" songs, but they're the songs that I have on repeat. A lot of them bring me to tears, but I always feel better afterwards. I know it's supposed to get better. I'm honestly starting to wonder if the pain really ever does go away...

Janoskians + Jack and Jack!

The Janoskians have announced that Jack and Jack will be coming with them to what they are calling
'Janofest' which is an arena performance for the Youtubers/musical group. If you are unaware of who The Janoskians are you have been living under a rock. They are a hilarious Youtube comedy group that became famous for their 'Awkward Train Situations' video among other pranking videos. The group reigns from Australia and is actually friends with the other dominate Australian musicians 5 Seconds of Summer. The Janoskians consists of brothers Beau, Luke, and Jai Brooks (Beau is the oldest. Jai and Luke are twins), and their friends James Yammouni and Daniel (Skip) Sayhounie. The five have had huge success in the Youtube field. They have done collaborations with many popular Youtubers including Tyler Oakley, Marcus Butler, PointlessBlog (Alfie Deyes), and Mazzi Maz.
Not only has the group gained popularity on Youtube, but they've also gotten attention from the music industry.
The boys released their first single 'Set This World on Fire' a few years back. It was received so well by the fandom that they later decided to release another song titled 'Best Friends'. Of course, they tried to make it clear that they were not just another boy band. In my opinion they aren't, but in others they are. The fact that they've released three other songs didn't help them ruin the whole boy band image. Judging by the song titles "Real Girls Eat Cake", "This F***ing Song", and "That's What She Said", they aren't exactly serious songs, but they all did fairly well on the singles charts. "That's What She Said", their latest release, was named MTV's Hit of the Week in the summer. The boys' constant success with their tours, videos, and music has led them to the major opportunity to play in an arena.They are bringing along the best boys they could find, Jack and Jack.
If you don't know Jack and Jack, you have been living under a rock too. Jack and Jack started their career out on Vine. They are two of the few Viners who actually made it out of the Vine world and in to the music industry. They have released a ton of singles that have all done fairly well on the charts as well. Their vines are some of the most viewed vines on the app. These two best friends have a talent at what they do, and that's entertaining. Jack Johnson handles the rapping in their songs while Jack Gilinsky memorizes people with his amazing singing talent. They found the most success in their song and video "Wild Life". These two boys have come a long way from where they started and definitely deserve this opportunity.
There's no doubt that The Janoskians + Jack and Jack (Janofest) will be an absolutely amazing show! Not only are both groups talented, but they are also great to look at. The crowd will be jamming to the catchy beats created by Jack and Jack and then lost in the antics of the Janoskians. There is no telling what this show is going to be like, but it's easy to say that whatever happens, it will be entertaining and well worth the time and money everyone put in to. If you have tickets to these shows you are one very lucky person and I would love to be in your shoes!
