Aside from apparently being on Rough Trade and having much love for the Jackson 5, we know precious little about Sonny Jim — though we do know that this Avalanche-y dance blast just went to the top of Stereogum’s Summer Jamz! playlist.
A YouTube commenter says “The CRAZY of the year”? Maybe! Play at your next BBQ/pool party and test its merit. (Alcohol will help.) We’re into June, school’s just about out, let’s get this summer-song playlist going. What you got?

into action by tim armstrong needs to be nominated. this is decent, but gets pretty obnoxious quick.
“Umbrella” by Rihanna
I really think if the Hold Steady put together a nice video for ‘Massive Nights’ it could be huge.
That’s bastardizing to compare an uncomplicated mix like this to the Avalanches — those guys made a 60 minute ALBUM out of only samples.
This song is mostly just a couple Jackson 5 vocals mixed with the instrumental to Beats International’s (Fatboy Slim’s ’90-91 moniker) “Theme From The Deerstalker”.
I like it. It makes me wanna dust off my Junior Senior CDs.
my new summer jam is “casting agents and cowgirls” by busdriver…despite its being around for months already…fuck off
since we’re going back a couple of months, i also love sissy wish’s “float”…

Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. is THE summer jam.
Yeah, this is alright but I can’t really see it taking off like ‘Crazy’ or ‘D.A.N.C.E.’
I like this version better than anything the Jackson 5 did.
queens of the stoneage – “make it wit chu”
i really enjoy the new version.
‘direct hit’ by art brut
‘south side’ by common
most of the lucky soul album
