You know, I have a real weakness for the phrase 'young turk'. So it's no surprise that I would be interested in the output of a record label/management outfit called Young Turks. One of those contributing to the company's output is one Jack Penate, who, I'm sure you all know (well, some of you) is one of those eclectic singer-songwriters that I'm always quite fond of. Eclectic in the sense of 'taking his influences from a wide range of genres', by the way, not eclectic in the sense of 'crap'. Anyway, I like him, his stuff is catchy and interesting and worth your having a listen if you haven't already. Now's a good time to acquaint yourself, because he's got a massive amount of tour dates upcoming, plus appearances at SXSW and, I believe, an EP coming out in April, so watch that space. That MySpace, to be precise. Ha. I'm so very, very funny.
