Jason Mitchell finally gets the recognition he rightfully deserves for the amazing musical geniuses he displayed in his short, but magnificent, professional music career with Magnetic Trigger.   MTV awarded Jason the lifetime achievement VMA for “Greatest Sampling That Ever Was and Ever Will Be for All Eternity, Always and Forever.”  (Fun fact about this prestigious award, it has the longest title of any award every given out in the history of man.) 

At the turn of the millennium there were two questions on every bodies mind:  1. Is Y2K going to destroy the world?  2.  Why is Magnetic Trigger so awesome that I lose control of my bodily functions and poop my pants every single time I hear them?  In the late 90’s Magnetic Trigger was leading the musical explosion that was occurring in New Port Richey, much like Seattle in the early 90’s, but as great as the band was they were missing something, like a broodwich with no bacon.  Turns out the missing ingredient was a sampler, someone to add an extra layer to a band that already had three guitarist and two singers.  Not just any sampler would do though.  Magnetic Trigger needed some one with just the right skills, not necessarily sampling skills or even someone with musical talent, more like someone who already loved the band and was great friends with everyone in it, and they found that person.  Jason laid down a barrage of single note synthesizer noises combined with the occasional movie quote or sound effect sample that catapulted Magnetic Trigger to its legendary status.  But like a nuclear power plant on the verge of meltdown, it quickly became obvious that the raw power of this amazing band could not be contained, and to continue rocking the way Magnetic Trigger did would inevitably lead to the complete destruction of every thing within a 50 mile radius.  Thus the band was split in two, and all 7 members of the band haven’t been together since.  After 4 years of separation MTV decided to give the band and it’s sampler (who just so happens to work for MTV and found his way over to the room with the moonman when they were taking pictures with all the employees) some recognition for there great accomplishments.
