Timely Tough Junkie street art in Brooklyn

If you think Jack Diablo produces the show and turns in for the week, oh no. He’s a true renaissance man. His Urban Jacksonville Weekly duties just kick off the week. He details the rest of his days in his post Gainfully Unemployed.

Between playing in Chicken and Whiskey (Doozers, July 28th) and tweeting for Burro Bags, Jack writes crazy amounts of music articles for EU Jacksonville all wrapped together in one section: http://www.eujacksonville.com/jack.php.

We’re excited to have Jack on the team. He’ll be writing show notes, doing a local music segment and monitoring Twitter and Facebook for any questions you might have for our special Urban Jacksonville Weekly guest: Tough Junkie.

Jack recently wrote an album review of TJ’s Grab What You Can:

Tough Junkie’s initial foray into hip hop may have been akin to a kid with a chemistry set, crafting beats out of tape decks to accompany his rhymes the way an aspiring young scientist might mix the contents of test tubes to get a reaction. Junkie’s been getting a reaction here in Jacksonville for years, a positive one, and now after years in the lab obsessing, perfecting, evolving, the rest of the world will be exposed to one of Jacksonville’s best kept secrets.

We’ll be talking about three topics on the show: Summertime in the City (which Jack also wrote about in EU. Hmmm suprise), Part Duex of Tony’s Uptown Market preview and whatever Jonathan comes up with. Read Jack Diablo’s blog and follow him on Twitter.
