Special Collector’s Edition [Squee!...I mean...Open]

Many of us have this little beauty in our hands already (if you don’t, head out to your local bookseller or snag your copy online here), so it’s time to talk about it.
What do you think? Do you have a favorite part yet? Have you learned anything new?
My copy just came in the mail, so [...]

Triumphant Return to the #1 Slot. [Newz]

©Matthew Rolston for RollingStone.com
Most of us have probably seen the Hollywood Records press release by now – the Jonases have hit #1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart with Lines, Vines & Trying Times!
Billboard itself soon confirmed.
Not surprising, exactly, though it is unprecedented in that it is their second #1 within a 10 month [...]

It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday. [Awesome]

Excitement!
As if there was not enough going on – the new – SECOND – Jonas-featuring Rolling Stone is coming. It’s pretty much HERE.
Brace yourselves – non-discerning types will obviously have the reaction of “MEN?! They aren’t MEN” to the cover copy – but in my opinion the article tone is decidedly about the transitional period [...]

Fame Continues To Be a Surreal Experience for the Woman Who Gave Birth to Them All. [Read]

There’s a truly excellent sounding story on Denise Jonas in Good Housekeeping’s July issue – I’ve only read part of it and am wowed.
It has some amazing insight on the birth of the Jonas family as we know it (beginning with Denise & Kevin Sr., that is) and Mama J gets very open about some [...]

Here Are the Facts. [Read]

I thought of blogging this Vulture piece on JONAS‘ Saturday ratings earlier, and interestingly enough, its plot has since thickened in an enlightening, and somewhat funnier still, way.
I’ve usually enjoyed the Vulture blog and their pieces on the Boys (one of which inspired our first official blog post). They have seemed to me to skewer [...]

The Music Is What Makes This Series Watchable for Parents and a Must-See for Jonas Brothers Fans. [TeeVee]

Will Glover, Day Editor of the Panama City News Herald, is a discerning type.  He just doesn’t know it yet.
I began reading his review of the first episode of JONAS with, I will confess, a jaundiced eye.  I noted that the reviewer was a man, and assumed that he would dismiss/mock the Jonas Brothers, as [...]

Look At This Stuff, Isn’t It Neat? [Open]

Yes, I am a channeling The Little Mermaid, because I am seriously wondering just how many treasures one Seventeen Magazine article can hold.
None of us (to my knowledge) even has it in our hot little hands yet, but already we’re digging through the spoils. Photos, videos, quotes…PLAYLISTS!!!
And then of course, there are the myriad little [...]

The Entire CD is a Veritable Smorgasbord of Pop and Rock Gems. [Read]

Can’t wait to dive in?! Let’s go!
The Jonases’ record label, Hollywood Records, has released more complete promotional information about the upcoming album and the lead single…it’s enough to make your salivary glands tingle, for sure!
I love hearing song titles, sound descriptors and tidbits from the Guys on what we might expect – “funk metaphor”?
Uh…YES, please!

Then We Are All Taking A Break And Some Down Time. [Read]

Sigh – I look at this picture (thanks, Nick!), and then I look at the signed “It’s About Time” CD insert that arrived in my mail last week (thanks, JB Merch and Molly for the heads up!) and – though I know we had precious little to do with it – I am so proud [...]

All The Little Birdies On Jaybird Street Love To Hear The Jonai Go Tweet Tweet Tweet [Random]

It has finally happened. The Guys now have a Twitter. They have gone where Greg, Jack, and JT have all gone before them…well, in an official capacity anyway (if you look closely at the picture above I think we might be witnessing a JohnLloydTaylor tweet being born).  I’m glad, because I was getting worried that [...]
