Off The Record: Jeremy Johnson
Our guest this week is Jeremy Johnson of Workers (formerly Your Black Star). The band’s second release “Workers” will kick off with with a CD release show at Skull Alley on Feb. 6th. Jeremy has chosen 5 fun songs that he and the band like to listen to when on tour:
- Foreigner: Cold As Ice
- The Doves: Words
- Cheap Trick: Surrender
- Michael Jackson: Man In The Mirror
- Prince: Purple Rain
Yay, someone else picked some cheesy fun stuff! I just heard Man in the Mirror the other day for the first time in forever, and I’d forgotten what a fun song that is to sing along with. Especially the “nah nu nah, nah nu nah, nu naaah nu naaah” part. You know the one I mean!

Yes i totaly agree with you actualy i can t see it any other way looking forward to see what others have to say about it regards.
