At
STACK
this month, we got mobile with JB HI-FI NOW MUSIC.
And boy, are we loving it. While we’ve always loved streaming some favourites
in the office after deadline madness (this month alone it’s been The Birthday
Party, Mozart, Miles Davis and Sleaford Mods), using the service at home via
our smartphones has been a wonderful revelation! The leap from ‘fun’ to
‘cannot be without it’ comes with a modern speaker system with bluetooth
that allows for streaming. Once that’s set up, using JB HI-FI NOW MUSIC on
the mobile opens you up to a swiftly eclectic world. Cooking? A few swipes
of the screen and there’s a custom-made playlist as eclectic or as indulgent
as you wish, playing for as long – and as loud – as you like, all without you
having to leave the kitchen. And the catalogue is DEEP! With over 20,000,000
tracks to peruse, you could live to be 100, browse tracks everyday, and still not
get through them all. You can go for a run, walk the dog, or chill out on public
transport over those long commutes and your faves are still in there, even if
you move out of Wi-Fi range. You can create playlists, go back to your stored
favourites, and more; it will re-awaken your love of music like nothing before.

political insight and
emotional impact.

“As fresh as they sounded in
’94... equal amounts punkish
middle-finger-defiance and
sheer adrenalin-fuelled sweat.
You need this!”

versa. The follow-up to 2013’s
number two charting album,
Save Rock and Roll,

“Huge arena-rattling anthems,
spectacular pop vocals,
powerful electronic beats...
sugary sweet delightful in

IN THE SPOTLIGHT ON JB HI-FI NOW
The notorious Joey Badass is a
19-year-old Brooklyn rap prodigy who
has turned serious heads with his
summer gigs. Crowned by XXL as
one of their 2013 Freshmen’s Class
alongside Schoolboy Q, Travi$ Scott,
& Action Bronson, and praised as
a teenage visionary, he’s leading
one of the most compelling cultural
movements out of NYC. Well worth
checking out the stream if you’re
after some groundbreaking hip-hop.

Mark Ronson’s impressive new
album
Uptown Special
not only
contains
Uptown Funk
with Bruno
Mars, the much-vaunted producer
has roped in Motown legend
Stevie Wonder, Tame Impala’s
Kevin Parker, and Pulitizer Prize-
winning novelist Michael Chabon
has written lyrics. The results are
a splendidly performed tightrope
walk between commercially
sound modern pop, edgy soul,
and spacious dancefloor grooves.
