4.0 out of 5 stars Surprise Surprise!, January 20, 2000

By	Tex Clark (Columbus, OH United States) - See all my reviews

My music writer friend was getting ready to trade in a bunch of promo CDs and let me look through the bag. Through the junk I picked this CD out. Boy did I choose wisely! I vaguely remember some press on it when it first came out. Now I am strangely obsessed with this disc and have to listen to it all the time. Work, home ...its coming along. Infectious, poppy, Beatlesly, unpretentious. His name is Jonny and that is all I know. I looked for a web site. Looks like he has hats for sale and lives in Chicago. Whatever. Its shameless pop and I love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Give us some more!, September 26, 2000

By	Scott Balikian (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with that guy down below. I found this disc in a bargain bin somewhere and rembered hearing some press about it - what with Frank Black producing and all. Thought I'd give it a listen. It's been one of the few staples in my music collection. I bring it to work every day and take it home just cause I know I'm going to want to listen to it and rock the haus. I keep checking back to see if he's put anything else out, but nothing yet. So grab this while you still can!

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this CD so much, I want to hear Jonny's second!,

By	D3ad3XiTS (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This is one of the most loved CD's in my collection. I even had to replace the first copy that started failing after the ten-thousandth play. The album is straight forward power pop and great for rocking out to. Jonny's music is highly energetic and motivated and has intelligent lyrics. Jonny has also recorded a second album that the record companies are having a hard time finding an audience to market it to. Thus, the second album sits, collecting dust, on a shelf somewhere. I would like to buy it and so would the guy who owns the record store, who first sold me this CD. -Definitely check it out.
