  Odd Job Jack - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Odd Job Jack is a Canadian animated comedy television show featuring Don McKellar, about one guy's misadventures in temporary employment.
The eponymous character, Jack, graduates from university with a degree in sociology and becomes a temporary employee at an agency which specializes in filling difficult and unusual positions.
In the rodent wrangler episode, McKellar plays and parodies himself as a stereotypical vain, role-hungry and superficial actor, as well as voicing the anti-hero, Jack, and is the subject of a self-deprecatory episode based on Being John Malkovich in which a tunnel is dug from Jack's kitchen into McKellar the actor's ego.

"Odd Job Jack" is about to change all that though, because in my mind, "Odd Job Jack" could be the next big thing to come out of Canada.
"Odd Job Jack" is Canada’s first TV series that was originally developed from a concept produced for the Web.
What I loved most about "Odd Job Jack" is that it feels Canadian, and refers at times to Canadian icons (like, Don McKellar, funnily enough), but it never gets bogged down in things that sometimes make other shows too Canadian.

This is the third EP of Odd Job remixes by Miami IDM duo (and Schematic label headz) Phoenecia, the last two appearing in '99.
A dark electro track bearing that title appeared on their debut, Brownout, but the two previous Odd Job EPs predated that album, and I can hear only traces of the track on these six reworkings.
Whatever the actual sound files used to create Odd Job Discrimination, to my mind this is the perfect remix record-- short, punchy and great to listen to in one sitting.
