We interviewed the super cool Broken Hearts who are well on there way to becoming more than a DJ duo.
With the rise of celebrity endorsements from Lady Gaga becoming the creative director at Polaroid, Justin Timberlake buying Myspace and every other celebrity dipping their toes into collaborations within the fashion world, is it now the turn of the big record labels? The latest edition to the fashion world is Sony BMG’s Deconstruction Records who Continue reading →
Who would’ve though that landing a job as a social media planner in Jam would entail interviewing popstars for the internet. Late last year I found myself in the hot seat attempting to conduct an interview with none other than Har Mar Superstar (that’s me on the right BTW). Another Jammer Huw was manning the Continue reading →
I have always been impressed with people that are a bit too lazy to learn the real thing, but still very keen on practicing it. Like people becoming the world champion playing Guitar Hero instead of learning how to play the guitar, or just not being able to keep from singing really loudly with a Continue reading →
David Bowie’s going to be rereleasing his tune “Space Oddity” to mark the 40th anniversary of the moon landings (as you do). But it’s not just any old rerelease.

We unite broadcast-quality web media with cutting edge community-enabling technology.” Which is great. But even better is their daringly named “Audiotool”. It’s basically a web app that allows you to interchange bits of virtual gear and create beats. There’s a Continue reading →
Since we twittered about it yesterday I’ve been playing with the rather sinisterly titled We are hunted website which is utilising buzz to create a chart of the hottest new artists and songs. In their words they “aggregate social networks, forums, music blogs, Torrents, P2P Networks and Twitter to develop a daily chart of the Continue reading →
Here in the Jam team we are a big fan of Spotify, sticking it on when we have to crack on with a presentation or comparing music tastes in the Jam Sounclashs. On first using it we were impressed but we didn’t initially see the social media aspect. However the simple sharing functionality is genius, Continue reading →
