...does Jack inspire all the bile? It's not as if it were one of those seemingly hipster products that was actually created after much consumer testing by a conglomerate. Jack has a lovable indie backstory, starting out as one guy's website. In 2000, Bob Perry, a former DJ and station manager who had moved to Connecticut to be near his wife's aging parents, started fooling around with Internet radio. He got some cheap software that allowed him to randomize song order, causing "train wrecks"--ballads followed by headbangers. He put it up as jack.fm and slid...
...last nights in New York, I went to Marquee to hear DJ AM (Nicole Ritchie’s fiancé) spin with a couple of friends. When we arrived, I talked the talk, received a comp admission, and the velvet rope parted.

...community. DJay connects with his old friend Key (Anthony Anderson), who sets up a home recording studio. One of DJay's whores sings the chorus on her boss's song; another turns tricks to raise money for sound equipment. The track is engineered by a geeky white guy (DJ Qualls). When he's dismissed as a doofus white, Key replies, "No, he's just light-skinned"--which must be how Brewer, who has black and white friends from all strata of Memphis society, sees himself...
