It’s awards season, ladies and gentlemen – that couple of months in the calendar that ensures every free newspaper out there is concentrating on awkward double acts, mutton dressed as lamb, jokes sinking like lead balloons, and the ramblings of trumped up entertainers you are sure you’ve never heard of going on for longer than they should.
It was with that in mind that we recorded Episode Three of our second season. If you want to hear the conversation of two over tired graduates who have both reached the end of the honeymoon periods of their “real” jobs in the “real” world, then you are in for a treat! You probably won’t notice the difference, and we know you really came for the music, so here’s the scoop:
‘Things can only get better‘ sang portly Labour party members in 1997, sweat cascading down their fat, pink little faces as they jiggled about in exuberant glee at the dawn of a new political era. It all ended rather badly BUT the same cannot be said for the boys of GetJazzical who just keep on getting better!
To kick off the relaunch of GetJazzical, we played the man whose hair was once muse to Jedward – Kelly Rossum. In the latter part of ’09, our favourite New York muted trumpeter, obviously in response to the decision made by the British public regarding the aforementioned Jedward, shaved his head, went all black and white and Ross Kemp-y, and created one of the best videos I’ve seen on YouTube since that kid bit another kids finger.
Taking the silent movie of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Rossum has created a new soundtrack, performed by the Nicollet Circus Band. Check out the lab transformation scene below, then go to his youtube channel to watch the rest of the film.
Strangely he hasn’t had as many hits as the community channel, but maybe one day he’ll take one of that Australian girl’s “hilarious” videos and stick some gangster caper jazz on top of it so that hundreds of thousands of dull and bored people can enjoy some “scathing” and “culturally trendsetting” monologue about people who kiss in public while enjoying the genuinely brilliant sounds of Mr. Rossum.
It’s the last ten minutes of the film. The hero has overcome adversity, heartbreak and robots to get this far and yet he lies there motionless on the floor, life ebbing away whilst the villain laughs mockingly at his crumpled body. ”No!” You think, surely this can’t be the end? Not now, not when our hero only just learnt an important lesson about himself that he really knew all along. It’s just too heartbreaking. It’s NOT FAIR!
