“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Travel Tunes (2022)”!

Hi, everyone!

As the weather warms up in this hemisphere, this is generally the time of year when people get restless. Whether you’re off of school or work, your work is lighter in these warmer months, or you do more during the summer, but it’s something you enjoy, this is when many people start to fantasize about venturing outside. Maybe you sit outside for some fresh air, or maybe you yearn for a more substantial trip outside.

But many of us still can’t travel, whether because of the pandemic, cost, time, or some combination of the three.

So, whether you’re vacationing for real or vicariously, let’s hit the road with a suitcase full of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “April Fools Follies (2022)”!

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Back to School Beats (2021)”!

Hi, everyone!

This time of year, so many students are headed back to the classroom, whether in person, virtually, or in a hybrid model.

It’s tough to return to pretty much anything after a break, especially with how chaotic things are right now with all sorts of things being cancelled, rescheduled, converted to virtual, or just left up in the air until further notice.

So, to help everyone with the transition, let’s study up to prepare ourselves with a backpack full of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Friendship Follies (2020) (Part 1)”!

Hi, everyone!

Now that Valentine’s Day has come and gone, it’s time to shift the focus to a type of relationship that, in my opinion, is often overlooked in media.

Through the romance roller coaster, who’s there to cheer you on and cheer you up? When you’re struggling at work, with health, or with anything else in life, who’s there to offer a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on? And when you just feel like having some fun, who’s there to share in the laughter and fun?

It’s time for them to get their due with this week’s flock of fabulous…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Spooky Supernatural Songs (2019)”!

Hi, everyone!

Last week’s Scooby-Doo jam session celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of “those meddling kids” and their dog got us into the spooky spirit! The Jammin’ with Jamie Halloween celebration has begun!

And speaking of “spirits”…

It’s time to lift our spirits… and lift some actual spirits! Grab your sage and magic wands, because it’s time to conjure up a jam session full of a concoction of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “In the Moment Melodies”!

Hi, everyone!

On Jammin’ with Jamie, we often look to and motivate ourselves for the future. However, if one “lives in the future” 100% of the time, that gets exhausting, difficult, and even frustrating, as not everything works out the way you hope. And even when things do work out exactly as you hope, thinking ahead to the next “thing” will rob you of any enjoyment of what you’ve already earned and accomplished.

I’m here to entertain and inject some fun into your weekend, but I’m also here to help. So let’s enjoy our jammin’ time together with a mix of…

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Questioning Choruses”!

Hi, everyone!

This week is a landmark Jammin’ with Jamie!

OMG (Oh My Goulash)!

Yes! We’ll be giving away two tickets to Rachel Bloom’s concert on September 21 at the Chicago Theatre, as part of her “What Am I Going to Do with My Life Now?” tour!

Yes, I’m serious, and don’t call me… oh wait, you didn’t.

By total and complete coincidence, our theme coincides perfectly with Rachel Bloom’s concert tour’s title! (I’m not even kidding: I’ve had this theme planned for a while.)

Art imitates life, imitates art, snake eats tail, equals MC squared, singularity… My brain hurts…

No question about it, we’re going to be jammin’ to…

(Begins vocal warm-ups)

“Jammin’ with Jamie” Theme: “Travel Tunes (2019)”!

Hi, everyone!

Last time, we were all about the destination. This week, we’re all about the journey (but still with some tourist stops along the way)!

So whether you’re on the road, on a bike, or on foot, grab your nearest music-playing device and get ready to groove as you move on down the road with a trunk full of…
