Hi everyone,

Firstly I’d like to wish all visitors to the site a happy and safe 2009.  I hope Christmas (or whatever holiday you may celebrate) was fun for you all!

The Jimmy Eat World Media Archive has been running for over 2 years now on this server, with myself personally paying for all server costs from Godaddy.com.  Since Godaddy are an American based company, and since the economy is in a bit of a state right now resulting in the UK pound being a hell of a lot weaker against the US dollar than it used to be, my monthly server costs have increased by over half since I first started paying for it.  Sure, I do have Google ads on the site, but so far I’ve only received one payment from those and it really wasn’t much (didn’t cover the costs of the server thats for sure!), and with the increasing use of Ad Blocking software and browser add-ons, these are pretty much useless (I may take them off the site soon).

It is for this reason that I ask you kindly for a donation towards the running costs of the site.  This, of course, is not obligitory, but any money donated will only go towards the running of this site and help pay the increasing server costs to keep these files here.

Any size of donation is most welcome, even if its only pennies!  Every little helps.  You can donate using Paypal by clicking the Donate button

I hope you guys do understand and don’t feel like I’m just out to try and get a free lunch from you all   Since I’m just a student and with these costs ever-increasing, I really have little choice since I want to keep this site here!

Thanks to everyone who visits this site, who clicks on the ads, who contributes to discussion, and of course, who downloads and enjoys the files hosted here!

Jimmy will be featured on the US kids show “Yo Gabba Gabba”  performing the song “Beautiful Day”.  You can check out the video below!

As the title suggests, it was confirmed yesterday at E3 that “The Middle” will featured in Rock Band 2 (this is a game on Xbox 360 & PS3 for those who don’t know).  The confirmed tracks so far for Rock Band 2 can be found here.  Lets hope for some more Jimmy tracks as downloadable content!

Hey guys,

I feel I should apologise for the lack of updates recently. I do have a few new things to add but I won’t get to add them for a while due to [a] desktop computer problems (its currently lying in parts on my floor at the moment) and [b] my insanely messed up life right now. Some day soon I will get round to updating.  Until then, I hope you’re all well.

Take care,

Burkey

This is an extremely amusing interview with Jim and Rick…
