What do you think of this clip?

It's not some fast shredding piece. Actually, it's quite the opposite. This is a music video by an artist named Jack Johnson. He's a surfer from Hawaii and he makes chilled, acoustic rock type stuff. Very melodic and relaxing. But for this video, Jack memorized his song backwards. He then acted out a scene while he sang backwards and then, for the video, the clip was reversed so that the action/motion was in reverse but he was singing along with the words. Pretty cool concept and I've never seen it done before. Hell, I dont even know how you'd go about doing something like that. There's some spots that he doesnt look dead on, but alotta times, he nails it pretty good. I thought you'd all be interested in it. So here's the link!

LOL JJ has been pretty huge down here in Southern Cal for a few years now...maybe it's just the whole mellow surf vibe thing... 8-)

ah dude, i'm always around...I float around JS alot too, but I cant log in, or reply to posts or anything. But I read the threads everyday usually and I usually wish I could say something, haha. I'd say calling it me "leaving" JS isn't quite the whole truth. They booted me out kicking and screaming. Haha...oh well, i've tried to make my peace with them and my emails have gone unanswered. So much for being mature right?

Jack has some great songs. He's all acoustic and he can do some pretty nice things with it. Some of his songs can sound repetitive at times. But it's great relaxing stuff. He has a song called "Taylor" which got alot of radio play but it has a pretty sweet acoustic intro/outro riff. I like him more than John Mayer.
