In a painful attempt to bring James Brown to a younger, hipper audience in Japan, someone at Universal thought it a good idea to have a small group of electronic artists remix and revamp the James Brown catalog. Unfortunately, this idea isn't as original as it seems on paper, as a large majority of hip-hop was built upon sampling and deconstructing the Godfather of Soul's mighty catalog. Just as unfortunate is the fact that most of these remixes (a) do not hold water to any of the potent originals and (b) aren't exactly the most original reconstructions. Die-hard fans will view this as blasphemy and even the most unseasoned of casual listeners will laugh at the lack of creativity employed here, so it's just best to steer clear of this overall. ~ Rob Theakston

Empathy is often described as the ability to “put oneself in another’s shoes”. If the shoes belonged to Jon Troast, they would be red. The 28 year old folk rock artist from Wisconsin wears a trusty pair of red Reeboks whenever he performs. Literally putting on someone else’s shoes might not make a big difference, but metaphorically speaking, it could have a profound impact. That’s called empathy. “I think empathy is one of the greatest attributes of a songwriter,” Jon says. “If my goal with music is to connect with people, then knowing where they’re coming from makes the distance between us a lot shorter. Of course, you’ve also got to know what it’s like to be in your own shoes, and be willing to reveal that too.”So what is it like to be in Jon’s shoes…? “Well, I grew up in a family of nine with four adopted siblings. My dad was an optician (he sold eyeglasses), and my mom had a few different jobs depending on schedules and such. Coming from such a big, diverse family definitely helped me see things from a lot of different perspectives”. When did the interest in music begin? “I guess I’ve always been a bit of a songwriter. Just about any phrase of conversation can come out of my mouth attached to a melody. Many times I don’t even realize I’m doing it. “As far as formal training, I started taking piano lessons from my grandma when I was four or five. I did ok, but the passion didn’t really kick in then. I guess it was probably too structured for me at the time or something. “When I was sixteen, I borrowed my brother’s guitar a few times and I got hooked. I spent hours in my bedroom in the basement, learning songs from the radio and writing some pretty basic lyrics. I had a pretty limited amount of experience then, especially because I was so shy. I didn’t have a lot of connections to draw from. Thankfully, playing music has helped me get over a lot of that.” When did you realize you wanted to do music full time?“Like a lot of kids, I dreamed of being a rock star. Of course, I dreamed about a lot of things that weren’t necessarily within the realm of possibility. But as I got more and more involved in music, I ...
