About Me

I'm jdub (Jordan "JJ" Papadopoulos) and these are some of my songs and other assorted crap. I sing and play the guitar and saxophone (alto & tenor), working on finding a solid rythm section to form a band. Friends featured on posted songs w/ me: Nic Albonico performed and recorded with me on all posted acoustic tunes except for "Plastic & Silicone" and "unfinished sax improv". He contributed some of the rythm guitar and basslines to the 18 w/ a Bullet demo. Nathan Candelaria (ATG, Into the Ocean) played the piano part on "unfinished sax improv". ------------ Please check out some of my sax recordings I did for other bands too!: One was for the Attic Banned on their cd entitled "Waffles", recorded and engineered by our good friend John Wall of Wall of Sound Studios. It's called "City Glows New", I play throughout the track, and it's at http://www.myspace.com/theatticbanned I played an alto sax lead on the title track of the Bottled Friends cd as well, also recorded by Mr. Wall. "Bottled Friends" is at http://www.myspace.com/bottledfriends I did some background sax work for the verses in a song called "Whore" by Parabelle - (feat. Kevin Matisyn - former lead singer of Evans|Blue, Tim Huskinson - former lead guitarist of Framing Hanley, our buddy Gio on bass, and Miles Stelzig on guitar.) Check out Parabelle's "A Summit Borderline/A Drop Oceanic at http://tunelab.com/2009/07/06/album-stream-parabelle-a-summi t-borderlinea-drop-oceanic/ on Itunes, or digistation.com Most recently, I recorded sax on 4 different tracks for The Tattersaints (soon to be posted!) and I play throughout them. The album should be out soon, so I'll post some tunes when it and any of my other new shit drops. Thanks so much for giving a listen to my stuff and any other projects that I contributed to!

Sounds Like: "Straight No Chaser" (2003) -not an official name. It was high school, but that's where all the tunes except for the "unfinished sax improv" came from. The cd was called "18 with a Bullet" and it was a genuine acoustic DIY record: Nic Albonico and I recorded it in only a couple of days in my bedroom, he did the artwork in about 5 minutes, most of the parts were improvised, and I gave out all 100 or so copies of it for free. Time to update material....
