Ep.023 - "I Can't Help It"

Ep.025 – “Burn This Disco Out”

Will "Burn This Disco Out" live up to its nihilistic promises, or will Yaxzon Jackson have to set fire to the disco, the DJ, the record player, the Off The Wall LP, and what's left of YJ Season 2. Who will survive and who will Steam Beat and Rod Blast the ALF Pogs in the Mail Crypt? If you have any interest in finding out the answers to at least one of those questions, you should listen to our final regular episode of Season 2. Rollie has some Ratings Remorse. James addresses vicious rumors that hates disco. Quincy Jones lays down the law. And then we all bullshit for a half-hour. We'll back in March (probably) for the big Season 2 video wrap-up, so make sure you stay alive for a while!

Ep.024 – “It's the Falling in Love”

Time travel with Rollie, James, and John Quincy Adams to 1979, the year everyone and their Aunt Dee Dee recorded a version of "It's the Falling in Love." Maybe the trip will help you form an opinion about the penultimate track from Off the Wall. Maybe you'll have a chance to ask Quincy Jones some questions in person (if you remember what the questions are). Maybe you'll end up recording your own version! Whatever you end up doing, just make sure to come back to 2016 in time for the final episode of YJ Season 2 proper next week. And wear red high-heeled cowboy boots...IF YOU DARE!

Ep.023 - "I Can't Help It"

If Michael can't help it, and Quincy Jones can't help it, and Stevie Wonder can't help it, and Susaye Greene, final member of the Supremes, can't help it, then the Yaxzon Jackson Podcast is going to have to step in and help it... Once we talk about about a bunch of other stuff first--anniversaries, release dates, and of course, a letter from the coveted mail closet. Don't forget that you can help us help Michael help it by participating in the conversation via the comment section, or on Twitter, by emailing us, or simply by yelling out your windows until we can hear you.

Ep.022 - “She’s Out of My Life”

Yaxzon Jackson would like to slow things down for a minute and give you an episode that sounds like a heartfelt ballad. *Cues strings* *Turns lights down* *?????* *PROFIT!!!!!!* Well, OK, this episode isn't a ballad, but there may be an emotional breakdown or two by the end. Lots of rhetorical questions today! Help us answer them, Yaxzon Jacksonites! *Cries* "She’s Out of My Life" Track 07 - Off the Wall - 1979 (approximate episode length: 1hr 37min) Download on Archive.org [http://archive.org/download/YaxzonJacksonPodcast022ShesOutOfMyLife/YaxzonJackson022ShesOutOfMyLife.mp3] Subscribe on iTunes [https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/yaxzon-jackson/id914021875] Follow on Twitter [https://twitter.com/YaxzonJackson] Email [yaxzonjackson@gmail.com]

Ep.021 – “Girlfriend”

"Hey, what happened to episodes 19 and 20?" you're probably saying. Well, special guest episodes can take a little extra time to cook up, so we decided to skip slightly ahead instead of causing you Yaxzon withdrawals. If you want to be a strict chronologist, you are free to file this episode away in your collection until the others are complete. We won't be mad. A quick spoiler though: there will be no spoilers about tracks 4 or 5 in this episode, so there's no real harm in listening to us talk about this 36 year-old track a few weeks before the other two. Of course, if it's the future and we went back and reordered the items according to track number, you have no idea what we're going on about. Enjoy the ride! If you're still with us, this episode will feature time traveling, name dropping, shape shifting, black mailing, and saxophoning. Climb aboard, but watch your step... it's the all-new Yaxzon Jackson Prime Time Podcasting! One more special note: YJ co-host James Greene, Jr. will be releasing an eBook of personal Star Wars misadventures called Star Wars Ruined My Life really, really soon, in a galaxy right about here. Keep your eyes on his blog [https://jgtwo.wordpress.com/] for details, otherwise you'll find the info in the HOSTS section of this tumblr when the time comes.
