The Jam
Factor - November 4th, 2004 Oh wow.
I forgot the site's 2nd birthday. It was October 11th. I'm such
a bad webmaster ha-ha! Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it
now. I'll try to rembember it next year though and hold another
contest. The Jam
Factor - October 17th, 2004 Hello.
The site will no longer be updated on Fridays/Saturdays. It will
be updated as nessessary. I hope to update quite often, though.
Don't be discouraged. An 96kbps mp3 of Space Cowboy (Babinstrumental)
is waiting for you on the downloads page. I'm hoping to offer this
kind of quality more often in the future. Okay. I didn't update the site last week and I'm late on updating it this week. The reason is because, well as you all probably know, Jamiroquai is pretty much dead at the moment. Sorry to break your little bubble, but they've been promising an amazing album for 3 years now. THREE. And the release date of 'Dynamite' was supposed to be like right now.. But they keep pushing the date farther and farther back, and honestly I've lost my interest in the band because of it. I mean, the first 2 years were not that bad, but then when the third began, I simply moved on. This will probably (if it ever does get released) be the last album of Jamiroquai. The Jam
Factor - September 24th, 2004 I'd like to apologize to malu_montenegro@hotmail.com for the things I said about them. The virus they sent was not their fault. So I'm really sorry for badmouthing you. But still, please watch out for an e-mail attachment called something like "Jamiroquai-DeeperUndertheAvenue.zip" from malu_montenegro@hotmail.com. It is a virus. Do not download it or open it. The Jam Factor - September
17th, 2004 Alright. Ha ha on me. A little bit after I wrote last week's TJF, the stupid idiot's virus hit my computer anyway. It wiped out all my partitions on a 40GB drive except C: so I lost all my documents, pictures & videos. But luckily I ran a wonderful restore program that got back almost everything. My computer is really messed up even though it's still working so I have to re-install windows soon which is a big pain. Please watch out for malu_montenegro@hotmail.com & an attachment called something like "Jamiroquai-DeeperUndertheAvenue.zip" The Jam
Factor - September 10th, 2004 I'm very angry because someone was kind enough to send me a nice little virus-infested e-mail. I don't care if you don't like me, I don't have to do this site. I do it because I like it, but based on the behaviour of many visitors, I've been extremely discouraged to offer anything to you. Now, I know it's not everyone because I do get a lot of compliements, but it's a few bad apples who are ruining it for everyone. And to go as far as sending me a virus? Frankly, losers like that need to grow up and get a life. I'm just lucky that I have a great anti-virus program and I'm smart enough to scan most e-mail attachments that I recieve, especially suspicious ones like the one I got. So, sorry folks, you're going to have to try harder if you want send me a virus. The Jam
Factor - September 3rd, 2004 Hey. This is your lucky day. Get 'em while there hot. That's right. 18 song downloads on the downloads page. Some of them are even in higher quality. Don't miss out. The Jam
Factor - August 27th, 2004 I'm working
on putting a bunch of songs up for download soon. I just have to
upload them to some webspace. Hopefully they'll be here by next
week. The Jam
Factor - August 20th, 2004 Hello. The latest news is that recently, there was a re-release of the Emergency On Planet Earth single in Germany. There's nothing new with the song, it's just the plain old single. The only difference is that instead of it's normal look, the cd looks like a record. Pretty cool. The Jam
Factor - August 13th, 2004 The Dynamite
rumours are still going on. This could possibly be a valid name
for the sixth album. Fans have even started to make up fake covers
for new album, incorporating the "Dynamite" name into
them. Others are still not gettin' with the program and don't like
the name. I've even seen some fans say that they're considering
not buying the new album! Now that is just uncalled for! You cannot
make a strong judgement based on something's name. Perhaps if samples
of the songs were heard, and the person didn't like what they heard,
that would be okay to not buy the album. But refusing to like something
because of its name? That's just plain ridiculous! The Jam
Factor - July 30th, 2004 I was back at the mall again and wile walking past the stores, I heard a familiar tune. I stopped and want back and the store was playing Virtual Insanity! What's going on here? The Jam
Factor - July 23rd, 2004 Hey.
I was at that mall that I had heard Canned Heat at a few weeks ago
on Monday, and this time they were playing Little L! So strange
to hear Jamiroquai in public. Has Jamiroquai become one of those
not so great bands that they play in the mall sound system now?
I hope not, but I'd still like to hear more of them. Yay for Jamiroquai! What's there to say? Nothing. So.. yeah. I guess I'll say that. The Jam
Factor - July 9th, 2004 The Jam
Factor - July 2nd, 2004 Hey.
Last week I was in my house, and then I heard Little L coming from
the next room over. I ran into the room and saw on the TV that they
were playing a snippet of Little L on the show "Pimp My Ride".
An American show, I believe, where they take people's boring cars
and pimp 'em up so that they're cool. They played a bit of Little
L while one of the guy's was testing out someone's car. I was so
excited, and I had one of my fake heartattacks that I usually have
when I hear Jami being played somewhere. Hello. The Frenchiroquai site has put up a clip of the "If I Like It, I Do It" music video up for download on their site. It's an extremely rare video, so hurry up and get it while it's still there! The Jam
Factor - June 18th, 2004 Please
refrain from posting rude comments on the Tag-Board. If you have
thoughts that are not nice about the site, keep them to yourself.
I will not tolerate any poor behavior on my site. Hey. New pics of Jay Kay are surfacing on splashnews. And September seems to be the confirmed release month for the sixth Jamiroquai album! Yay! It's almost here! I can't wait. The Jam
Factor - June 4th, 2004 Hello!
Well, the first sample of the 6th album has been released. Jay appeared
on a British television show last week, and on the show he shared
a 30 second clip of the new song "Black Devil Car". Rumours
had been saying that the name of the song was "Black Devil
Wife", but apparently they were either wrong, or perhaps Jamiroquai
decided to switch things up. Or maybe, the name is still with "Wife",
but I doubt it becuase in the song, it is said "Black Devil
Car", not wife. Anyways, for this great sample & the whole
interview with Jay from the British program, head on over to the
Funkin site. The Jam
Factor - May 28th, 2004 I'm still
thinking of which Jamiroquai music video I should use to make my
next lego creation. I'll decide it in the next few weeks. I would
love to start right away, but I'm very busy with school & exams
so I can't start until they are done. But can I promise that it
will be done before June is over. The Jam Factor - May
14th, 2004 Nothing
to say. If you want there to be something here for you to read,
please submit some wacky Jamirostories of your own or something.
Or art, or pictures. Anything will do. Just send it. The Jam
Factor - May 7th, 2004 Hey. Well I guess by now most of you have probably heard the new cover of Kool & The Gang's "Hollywood Swingin'" by Jamiroquai for that Japanese tribute cd. And if you still don't have it yet, head on over to the Funkin site for a full length mp3 of the song. So, what
does everyone think of it? I didn't really like it at first, it
sounded a bit too cheesy to me, but after I listened to it some
more, I grew to like it. Another reason why I didn't like it at
first, was because of the beat. It's just a little too boring, hearing
the same beat over and over again throughout the whole song. I recall
writing in a post on Jamirotalk
that it sounds like a really bad loop of Little L. Doe anyone else
hear that, though? The uncanny resemblance that HS has to Little
L? I didn't like that it was so similar to Little L at first becuase
I felt that it was like they were repeating a song over again, but
then I came to realize that Little L is one of my favorite Jami
songs, as it was the one that made me into a Jamiroquai fan and
since this HS has sort of the same beat, it brings me back to the
first time I had heard Little L and went crazy with delight. How predictable. I ask for you to help the site in any way that you can last week, and I get no response. I'm getting sick and tired of the attitude that most of the Jamiroquai community has developed. You're all a bunch of file hungry monsters that don't care about anything else. Anyways, if you're still hungry for files after reading this, head on over to the Funkin site to download Jamiroquai's cover of Hollywood Swingin'. The Jam
Factor - April 23rd, 2004 Well, Jamiroquai haven't been very good for news these last few months, I'm dying to hear their new album, and my dad can't stop playing Little l full blast on his stereo system. Life sucks. Since I have nothing Jamiroquai-y to say until the release of the new album, it would really help if the visitors of this site (THAT'S YOU!!!) shared their Jamiroquai stories with me so I could put them up on the site. So, if you have anything Jamiroquai related (Stories, pictures... anything!) for me to put up, please e-mail it to me, or post it in the forum. I'd really appreciate it. ;) Ooh! Ooh! And look to the right! I put up a Tag-Board! Go ahead and chat away! So...
Oh yea.. I opened up a new fansite, one for Secret Window. I love
that movie. I should really stop opening sites, though. I have 3
now with the new one. Don't be surprised if you notice that it has
the exact layout of my Pirates of the Caribbean fansite, because
basically all I did was change everything around. Oh well, Visit
it!!! The Jam
Factor - April 16th, 2004 Nothing to say... do do do do.. Now that the re-runs are over, I've "re-stocked" the downloads page. Head there for some new cool stuff. The Jam
Factor - April 9th, 2004 I don't know what to talk about.. nothing much to say. Oh, Derrick was thrown a big party by Jamiroquai members past & present recently. And up at Funkin, you can download some Montreux videos including one of Shoot the Moon. Well. I guess that's all I have to say for now. Happy Passover & Easter. The Jam Factor - April
2nd, 2004 They came, and they went. Next week, normal-ocity will resume to the downloads of the site. So.. it seems that before last week I didn't talk about Jamiroquai in TJF since.. let me go count.. December 12th! Wow. and it was only a sentence about an article mentioning the sound of the new album.. Well.. uh.. it's Jamiroquai's fault that I didn't talk about them in so long. It's been nearly three years since their last album. And right now, there's hardly any news about them around. I'm beginning to think that this will be their last album. They're just not into it anymore. :( Writing this has really brought me down now.. hm. Well, I heard another rumor about the new album's release. I heard it will be most likely in October. I liked the May rumor better. On a higher note.. I saw "Secret Window" this week. It was amazing. Lots of mystery and suspense. :) The Jam
Factor - March 26th, 2004 Well, the title of this week's TJF pretty much explains all.. This week is for videos in the re-run season, which means that this is the last week you'll have to claim my lovely little lego creations. Of course, if after you realize that you've missed it, I'd be more than happy to put it up again for you. And that goes for everything, as well. If ever you have a request, don't hesitate to post it in the forum, or e-mail it to me. But do not request a million things, be reasonable. And,
recently I've read on Jamirotalk a rumor that the new Jamiroquai
album will be released in May. I don't know if it's true or not,
but I certainly hope it is! C'mon people! I would like to make more lego Jamiroquai music videos, and I'm sure you'd like to watch more, but I can't make anymore until you tell me which one you want me to do. All I've been asking is for you to take two seconds out of you life to go to the forum and vote for which one you want. But everyone is mean and refuses to visit the forum. You know, you should all be ashamed. Here, I've been wasting my time making things for you and giving you free stuff, and no one ever talks on the forum. Why is there even one? To look at? I think not. You are all greedy, and that's the real truth. You all just come for the downloads and that's it. I don't have to do this, you know. It's not my job. I don't have to give you anything at all, but I do. And I don't get anything out of it. I rarely am thanked for this. When people request songs and I put them up, all they say to me is "How come it's not good quality?" or "Can you upload a better quality one please?". Really. Now that is mean. Ya know, I'm sure no one even reads TJF! Why do I even bother? No one's going to read this. The Jam
Factor - March 12th, 2004 (March
12th - 19th) - Wallpapers & Pictures The Jam
Factor - March 5th, 2004 So.... Did everyone enjoy the 'making of' video that I put up last week? If you would like to see more lego Jamiroquai music videos, please tell me which one you would like me to do next here. Big disappointment for me last Sunday. Did anyone catch the Oscars? Pirates of the Caribbean didn't take home any four of the awards it was nominated for. And Johnny Depp didn't win best actor for the movie either. Oh well, he won a SAG award....... Anyways, a little heads up : Next week will be the start of re-run season 3. The Jam
Factor - February 27th, 2004 Hey. Just for fun, I thought it would be cool if I made a video of the making of a lego music video. It shows tools, steps, before and after shots and other things like that. The video is up for download now here. It is zipped and is 2.46mb. Luckily, I uploaded it at school, it would've taken hours for my 56k :( . Enjoy! The Jam Factor - February
20th, 2004 The Little L lego Jamiroquai music video is finally here! Yay! The file is a .zip and is 1.14mb. It can be downloaded here. I'm glad I finally got around to making it. It took a bit more time to make than the first, and a looooooootttt more picture editing, but the final product is certainly much better than before. Actually, It's quite disturbing how much I was able to make the scenes look like the actual little l ones. Wow, thank you Photoshop. Without that program, you'd be watching well.. something that looks really ugly and not at all like little l, I guess. I want to make other lego music videos, but no one's voted for which one I should do next! :'( Well, when the votes come in, I'll start the next one. Until then, ta! The Jam
Factor - February 13th, 2004 Happy Valentine's Day.. tomorrow. Ah, and it's Friday the 13th.. ooohhh.. Once again as I asked last year, Jay if you happen to be reading this for some strange reason : The offer for you to be my valentine still stands ;) The Jam
Factor - February 6th, 2004 Hello. Since Valentine's Day is next week, here are some Jami V-day cards that I made for you to give out to your peers. They're the same ones as last year, but maybe they're new for some of you. You can either save all of the pics seperately on your computer, or download the .zip file containing all 8. Enjoy. And here's
what I wrote about them last year, when I was more into the spirit..
: The Jam
Factor - January 30th, 2004 I've grown impatient with Jamiroquai because they are taking too long to release, so I'm sorry if I'm not all Jamiroquai-y anymore, but I guess I've moved on until the new album comes out. Anyways... I'm just going to talk about other things this week. Hmmm... Oh! I got my braces off on Monday! My teeth feel all strange now.. and my retainers suck. Uh.. and did anyone catch the Golden Globes on Sunday? I'm disappointed that my beloved Pirates of the Caribbean wasn't nominated, but Johnny Depp was nominated.. he didn't win, though. I'm looking forward to the Oscars because he's nominated for best actor on that too. Hopefully he'll win this time! Oh yea,
and I added some new Jami pictures.
Annnd almost forgot, but I also re-vamped the site a bit, but you
probably won't notice anyways. I recently got a new DJ mixing program called "PCDJ Red". I took a look at the help file and was surprised to see a little something cool about the example that they used when showing the playlist thing. What was cool about it was that Canned heat is one of the songs in the picture of the playlist. Unbelievable.. The Jam
Factor - January 16th, 2004 Here's some strange PotC quizzes that I found (I'm always Captain Jack Sparrow in the results which is cool because he is my favorite :D) : Which
one of Capt. Sparrow's bizzare sayings are you? You
know your obsessed with Jack when... Hi. Sorry everyone, I wasn't able to make little l. It's just been too busy for me these couple of weeks. While you're waiting I uploaded a little l skin, it's on the downloads page and also, there's still virtual insanity to enjoy. Please post any comments you have about it here. For the next videos I will be doing, I want all of you to decide it for me. Please vote for which one you want me to do next here. Hint : When the video
is finished playing, just click on it to exit. Great news everyone! I upgraded my computer last week and it is now twice as fast as before! But the internet is still as slow as a turtle because I didn't upgrade that. Oh well, you can't have everything. ^_^ ... Nothing really to
do with anything but, I am obsessed with the movie "Pirates
of the Carribean", anyone with me? I bought the DVD some weeks
ago and can't stop watching it. At school I can't stop reciting
lines from the movie and talking pirate talk and everyone is mad
at me and thinks its annoying. This week, I'm so obsessed with it
that I recorded the audio of the whole movie onto my computer, made
some seperate tracks of all my favorite parts, burned all of it
onto cd and now I bring it to school in my discman and force all
my peers to listen to it. I'm nuts, savvy? The Jam
Factor - January 2nd, 2003 Hello and Hooray! Unfortuantely I wasn't able to make both videos. I only managed to make virtual insanity, but don't worry, little l is on it's way. Virtual insanity took me 4 hours (Straight!) to make :P but in the end I guess it was worth it. It's about 20 seconds long. The file is zipped and is 1.10mb (Took me half an hour to upload :'O). It be found on the downloads page. In the video, only Jay is lego and has been edited into the virtual insanity backround from the actual video. Do you like it? Please post any comments you have about it here. For the next videos I will be doing, I want all of you to decide it for me. Please vote for which one you want me to do next here. Hint : When the video is finished playing, just click on it to exit. Oh, and
just letting you know I've been experimenting on new looks for the
site, so it should be changing a little next week. Hey everyone! I have quite a few things to tell you in this week's TJF. First of all, since I am too lazy to remove the 39 songs from the downloads page, I'm leaving them on until January 3rd, 2004. Consider it some sort of wacky new years present.. Wahooo! My dad got me a DVD player for my birthday last week so guess what that means? That's right! It means that from now on I can accept your VCD & DVD trades! AJS Weekly has been running for a month or so now, but sadly I have to postpone it until there are at least 10 members. I feel that it is a waste of my time to be writing it for only 2 (very nice) members, that's right, 2. So please sign up! It's worth trying. On December 21st & 22nd, Hyperboards, the site which provides the site's forum updated their functions (Sorry to everyone trying to access it on those days because the server was down for re-construction). Anyways, luckily their updates didn't affect service and everything is still there. Everything is back up and running right now. I'm really happy at their changes. They added a hit counter and a user counter, made a better description of recent posts on each board, added new features, and a bunch of other stuff. The only thing is, is that they've changed their Terms Of Agreement and people who are already members will have to agree to it the next time they sign in. I'm not sure if visitors will have to do so also. As mentioned on Jamirotalk, I am thinking about making the first ever lego Jamiroquai music video. Well, I am proud to say that "production" has begun! I chose to do Little L as the video. Yesterday I sorted out my lego and made the club scene set and dancefloor set. And with the help of "Laurentien Ultra Smooth Gel Markers", I fixed up lego Jay's clothing to make it look like the real thing. Everything is ready and good to go now. I was thinking about actually making it a video because the camera I'm borrowing can take 30 second videos, but if I were to do that you'd be seeing my fingers in the way of everything, moving the lego people around. Plus I wasn't able to find any suitable lego to make a blade hat, so I need to edit one in as well as some other things that need editing too. So I've decided that it will be a series of shots with music added to it. Over the week I'll be "filming" the video. Hopefully it will be done for next week.When it is done I'll put it up for download. I'm looking foward to making more "music videos". My next one will be Virtual Insanity. If you have a suggestion for which one I should do after, please post it here. The Jam
Factor - December 19th, 2003 After
a long hard week of exams, today is my birthday. I really enjoyed
it. Lots of gifts & cake. And another celebration today, Hanukkah.
Happy Holidays! The Jam
Factor - December 12th, 2003 Hello everyone. TJF is back! Do you like the new look of this page? I hope so. This week is the last week of re-runs and I think it's the best one for all of you ; the songs. Can you believe that over the last few months I've given you 39 songs! Well I did and with re-run time going on, this week they're all up for download right now! Exciting, eh? Well it wasn't for me :( It took my poor 56k about 2 hours to get them all up for you. Anyways, enjoy. As far as what's up with Jamiroquai, well, the latest news from an article in "Tense" magazine (View article at Frenchiroquai) is that they're planning to send the new album to The Neptunes for remixing and stuff like that. Sounds cool to me. Oh yea, and I thought I'd drop a little hint.. my birthday is next Friday, the 19th! How about a little virtual present or e-card or something? ;) The Jam
Factor - December 5th, 2003 TJF will resume on December 12th. In the
meantime, The Jam

meantime, The Jam
Factor - November 21st, 2003 Hey everyone it's re-run time again. If you're not familiar with what this is, here's a brief explanation : Twice a year I repeat all the downloads in case you've missed any of them. It's a good thing because you can retrieve many cool things you might have missed, but it's also a bad thing because it takes a long time, about a month or 2. Anyways, I've started it this week. Head on over to the downloads page to get the things. The schedule is below : November
21st - 28th : Wallpapers, Winamp Skins, Others & Non Jami

Factor - November 14th, 2003 Hello. The site's been around for a year now, so I thought I should add something else to it. I have decided that the site needs a weekly newsletter / mailing list. Those who've signed up for it will get an e-mail that contains what new downloads have been added, site updates, news, events, and other information. "Where do I sign up for this?", you're probably asking. A sign up box is just under TJF, under the birthday contest button. All you do is enter your e-mail address and then you'll receive "AJS Weekly" In your mailbox every Saturday. The best part about it is that you can reply to it because it's a mailing list, so if you've got some questions, or just want to chat with other fans, you'll be able to do so. Don't miss out on this great opportunity, sign up for "AJS Weekly" today! P.S--Congrats
to Derrick McKenzie who had a baby boy on October 31st! The Jam
