The Best of Jack's Mannequin

This is basically just a concept I always wanted to get done, and with my friend in Italy with leukemia I really had this inspiration and incentive to get something like "The Best of Jack's Mannequin" done. This was also, as Jack's Mannequin largely is, a huge source of inspiration for "All These Lost Pictures", so I thought I'd get the idea out there mainly because Andrew McMahon went through the same sort of thing my friend did and came out on the other side really positive with this real lust for life.

For me this music is still unforgettable.

You'll see that not much has changed with the two lists, so why, you may ask, do I have two? It's simply that the second list (the one I'm sending) is a lot more positive and it depicts a more "hope in hopeless situations" motif, to give the guy hope and a real reason to pull through. My playlist includes songs that I personally love and that are musically amazing, and that mean a lot to me, but I'd hate to bum anyone out, so that's why I changed up some tracks for the "international" version.

I'd give you guys a biography for Jack's Mannequin, but those who know me won't need it.

Jack's Mannequin is, quite simply, my breath from the breathing.
