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!

Track 09 - Off the Wall - 1979

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*
