I became a fan of Jim and his music when:

 

September 9, 2006, about 43 minutes and 44 seconds after I put "The World Is Falling Down" on my CD player for the first time. Die-hard fan, that is. But this is what led up to that.

 

Started mid-July 2006.

 

  • Kimberly really likes the Houseband from the Rockstar Supernova TV show and talks how great the band is especially the rhythm guitarist. Need to check them out. But I hate reality TV like poison!
  • "Oh he is cute! Blue eyes, eh? What was his name again?" (looking at his photo)
  • "He is funny! It's Jim, right?” (after watching the "We are not an orchestra" clip, provided by Kimberly)
  • "Wow! What was he doing again? Rhythm guitar? Houseband? Backup singer?" (after watching the basketball clip, provided by Kimberly)
  • "Holly... nevermind. Why didn't you tell me about him Kimmy?" (after watching the "Time after Time" clip, provided by Kimberly)
  • I start watching Rockstar Supernova while family wonders what is wrong with me (I hate reality TV like poison, remember?)
  • "You go Jim!!!" (after telling Zayra off for ruining Tommy Tutone's "867-5309")
  • Oh Jim has a record coming out. Hm. But I am not so much into indie music.
  • Oh my God! "Jessie's Girl" on Youtube (City Walk). Only one of my favourite songs of all time! Jim blows ole Rick out of water!
  • "You ordered the CD, Kimmy? Better listen to something of Jim's, eh?"
  • Cool website!
  • I LOVE "World Is Falling Down" playing on Jim's MySpace. I order the CD next minute, on impulse.
  • I resist listening to the rest of the songs on Jim's website, afraid that I will be disappointed (I know, I know!)
  • "Look at the CD design!!! Wow. So freaking clever!" (after opening the package with the CD)
  • I put the CD on the player, still a bit apprehensive.
  • The rest is history.
