Go back to part 1

UntilJC: by then he had a strong idea of the kind of things i was into
UntilJC: and everything just rolled from there
BrendanInMusic: nice. seemed to have worked well!
UntilJC: i think so
BrendanInMusic: you also worked with a lot of big names on the album
BrendanInMusic: out of everyone you worked with who did you mesh with the best?
UntilJC: i worked with quite a few people on this record
UntilJC: it seems like the cuts that made the album were all done by the people that i got along with and had the most fun with
UntilJC: all the records on this album that made it came from great writing experiences
BrendanInMusic: nice
UntilJC: so i wouldn't really choose one over the other
BrendanInMusic: what else can fans expect to hear on your album?
UntilJC: this record has A LOT of singing on it
UntilJC: Even the first single is a very complete song
UntilJC: very musical
UntilJC: not just an 8 bar loop with a melody written over it
UntilJC: some vibes are great like that
UntilJC: but i wanted to make a very musical and melodic record
BrendanInMusic: did you feel like you had something to prove this time around? your soph. solo record??
UntilJC: not at all
UntilJC: i just wanted to make a record with great tunes
BrendanInMusic: i don't think anyone would argue that one!
UntilJC: there are a few songs with a great sense of humor and sarcasm
UntilJC: like the first single
UntilJC: i think that shows how i don't take myself too seriously
BrendanInMusic: who was playing with fire?
UntilJC: that no good heart stomping tramp that got knocked up by another man
BrendanInMusic: hahahaha!
BrendanInMusic: hate that bitch
BrendanInMusic: so you definitely have the laid back thing down, but you've also described your music as intelligent pop music
BrendanInMusic: what does that mean exactly?
UntilJC: i didn't settle
UntilJC: i wanted to make real songs
UntilJC: even if they were sarcastic
UntilJC: i wanted to push them
UntilJC: so much of what's popular is hypnotic
UntilJC: and that's fine
UntilJC: but i wanted folks to kind of catch things and think about things when they heard these records
BrendanInMusic: did any one specific thing help drive you in that direction? a muse or idol, etc?
UntilJC: i don't know if it was anyone in particular
UntilJC: i think it was more me looking for something interesting to listen too
BrendanInMusic: what else are you listening to now?
UntilJC: i don't know really
UntilJC: everything and anything i guess
UntilJC: music is food
BrendanInMusic: nothing on heavy rotation on your ipod?
UntilJC: i pretty much download a new album everyday
UntilJC: new or old
BrendanInMusic: what was the last one you got?
UntilJC: embarrassingly enough Thin Lizzy
UntilJC: good time records
UntilJC: haha
BrendanInMusic: lol, nothing wrong with a guilty pleasure ;)
UntilJC: that and i picked up a YES record last night
UntilJC: those were the last 2
BrendanInMusic: i recommend the new Fergie. its pretty good!
UntilJC: right on
UntilJC: i like Powlow
UntilJC: he's a great beat guy
BrendanInMusic: is there anyone you still have a hankering to work with musically?
UntilJC: I don't know
UntilJC: I think I really just want to get better at what I do everyday
BrendanInMusic: paris hilton perhaps? ;)
UntilJC: no thanks
UntilJC: haha
BrendanInMusic: lol
BrendanInMusic: so a few months back there were rumors that nsync was going to get back and do another cd
BrendanInMusic: was that just rumor?
UntilJC: just a rumor
BrendanInMusic: is that something you would have liked to do? maybe in the future?
UntilJC: who knows
UntilJC: right now i'm happy working on what i'm doing
UntilJC: i've had a great time working with Justin
UntilJC: I think at this point it might take away from what we accomplished
UntilJC: we're all happy where we are at
UntilJC: but i can never say never because life is a journey and they are my friends
BrendanInMusic: well there's still some hope for those who still have the marionette dolls on their shelves ;)
UntilJC: haha
UntilJC: you might have to paint some lines in the faces and paint the hair grey by then, but there is hope
BrendanInMusic: what about you,? anything else you feel like conquering
BrendanInMusic: acting?
BrendanInMusic: curling?
BrendanInMusic: lol
UntilJC: haha
