JGrock

As you might imagine, I am a huge supporter of the burgeoning genre of JGrock--that is, songs based on the work of John Green. (I am open to better genre names.) Recent entrants into the field include:

1. Hank Green's song "The List," which is basically taken word-for-word from a scene near the beginning of Paper Towns:

(Sung here on the last night of the Great American Tour de Nerdfighting, at which point we were both punch drunk and playing this game where we both tried to hold the last note for as long as possible. Hank's REAL HONEST TO GOD STUDIO ALBUM, btw, came out yesterday.)

2. Lauren Fairweather's brilliant and hilarious "Black Santas:"

3. A song called "Up Here, Looking Down" about Margo and Q looking down from the SunTrust Building:

4. A song about Margo and Q called "My Mirror:"

5. Another version of "The List" (no pressure to BUY HANK'S ALBUM or anything).

Comment by Anita Kennally on January 11, 2009 at 7:02pm: These song are awesome i can't wait for the Papper Towns CD!

Comment by Kori on January 11, 2009 at 1:05pm: But the list isn't on so jokes, is it? I bought the album on the tour...

Comment by Maven on January 11, 2009 at 10:18am: I think it sounds to much like J-Rock (Japanese Rock), which could be detrimental to worldwide popularity. Also J.G. Rock is a large construction company, which may lead to a copyright issue down the road. I enjoy Nerdfrock, and I'll throw my own attempt in: Green Sound. Maybe Green Sound could be a sub-genres of Nerdfrock. No matter what we name the genres though, we need an artist to perform under the pseudonym Paper Townshend.

Comment by seaSquish on January 11, 2009 at 1:40am: How about just Grock for Green. It sounds better.

And dude...I need that collab album now.

Comment by Mattie Grace on January 10, 2009 at 10:53pm: I thought J-Grock when I first saw it, but J. G. Rock sounds a little more hip, I think. Hmm...
