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 for details, otherwise you'll find the info in the HOSTS section of this tumblr when the time comes.

Ep.020 - “Off the Wall”

How off the wall is "Off the Wall" off Off the Wall?

Ep.019 - “Get on the Floor”

The Yaxzon Jackson Podcast welcomes back C. LeMar McLean to talk about “Get on the Floor,” his favorite track from his favorite Michael Jackson album. This episode is jam-packed to the rafters, but don't worry, there are no Star Wars spoilers in attendance tonight.

Speaking of not speaking about Star Wars, James Greene, Jr.'s eBook Star Wars Ruined My Life is now out there for the masses to read.

And for more vintage LeMar, check out Breakfast in Bed, a webseries about romance and wrestling that he co-wrote and stars in.

Girl, there's a chance for chancin' tonight, so choose to chance your choice with Yaxzon Jackson.

Ep.018 - “Working Day and Night”

While you've been out partying and listening to other podcasts, Superproducer James Groove Jr. and Concertmaster Rolmajesty Hatch have been twerking day and night to bring you this episode. What will the fellas think of Michael Jackson's second original composition on the album? Will their opinions be as different as Morris Day and M. Night Shyamalan or as similar as Susan Dey and Suge Knight? Or both? Find out today... on the internet!

Speaking of the 'net, if you aren't already following Yaxzon Jackson on Twitter, you're missing out on some important polls that will likely decide the fate of humanity. The link is at the bottom of the page.

Ep.017 - “Rock With You”

MJ and QJ may have been comfortable outsourcing their songwriting duties to "Hot" Rod Temperton for this track, but Rollie and James are responsible enough to handle podcasting about it all on their own. And what a yaxzon-packed episode this is--our two hosts actually disagree about thing or two! So relax and lay back as they yax about Jack, son.

We'll be back after Thanksgiving to tackle track 3. See you then.

Ep.016 - “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”

Finally, the Yax has come bax to collect tax on these Jax trax. “Don’t Stop ‘Til Get Enough was the first single officially offered off of Off the Wall, so it seems like the logical, structurally-mandated place to begin Season 2 of our little podcast.

We’re aware of some audio issues that are present only when the episodes are streamed in a Chrome browser, but aren’t aware of how to fix it yet, so for now, either ignore those strange pops, or switch over to another browser. Of course, you can always download or listen through iTunes using links at the bottom.
