Jock Jams: The All-Star Jock Jams

Performer: Various Artists
Distributor: Alternative Dis. Alliance

Notes: Photographer: Jason Hawks. This best-of contains most of the anthems you'll be familiar with from Monday night football and various other armchair sports-related activities--such rabble rousers as the Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" and Gary Glitter's "Rock N' Roll Part 2" are the staples of the modern athletic spectator's musical landscape. But THE ALL STAR JOCK JAMS has more to offer than mere macho fist-pumping. Blur's "Song 2" is a pop masterpiece of sonic brevity--ultra-quiet verses, slamming chorus--whose hook of "Wahoo!" makes its inclusion a no-brainer. Likewise Fatboy Slim's "Right Here Right Now," whose agonizingly slow minute-long disco electronica build-up leads to a classic sonic release and the point of the song--"Right here! Right now!" Kernkraft's "Zombie Nation" owes a big debt to German electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk--it's included here for its massed vocal chorus--while Moby's "Go," notwithstanding its obvious hook, is another nugget of classic dance electronica.
