He's now in Supergrass?

― donut e- (donut), Thursday, 30 June 2005 19:59 (twenty years ago)

no, Beasties

― ken taylrr (ken taylrr), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:03 (twenty years ago)

ugh!

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:07 (twenty years ago)

Is that what the new album sounds like?

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:10 (twenty years ago)

Hell No! It's a huge soul stomper. A couple songs have a straight up Otis-style to them. Other have a newer R&B slant to them but it's all fuckin fantastic!

― Particle Ranger (particle ranger), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:12 (twenty years ago)

he looks like a cross between john darnielle and jim j. bullock.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:12 (twenty years ago)

i was surprised that the album maneuvered betw. old-school otis redding stuff and new, glitchy sounds!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

oh wow!

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:13 (twenty years ago)

Still not sold on the idea

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:14 (twenty years ago)

i find myself staring at that picture more than i should.

― rizzx (rizzx), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

I thought this was about Townsell

adam don't do it!

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:18 (twenty years ago)

ok, i won't

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:20 (twenty years ago)

i'm not really sold on the idea, either! it's interesting, tho.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

uh oh

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

I like that he shade-tips.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

by dislike is obvs out of all proportion.

i double spec too. i dont have prescription sunglasses.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

i have a feeling this person would annoy the shit out of me. but i'm warming to the music a bit.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:28 (twenty years ago)

I have that one album on Warp that's all dark, black and white, and it's hit or miss, but the hits are really good.

So, Lidell has gone Ninja Tune, essentially?

― donut e- (donut), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:41 (twenty years ago)

no.

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

ah.

― donut e- (donut), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

otis + warp stomp stylee = Staxglitch?

― donut e- (donut), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

Jed, do you like Jimi Tenor?

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

The glitch element is sooooo small.

It's like Cee-Lo Green minus Neptunes plus Mouse On Mars.

And dope as hell

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

So this is not about Lidell "I Got a Big D*ck" Townsell...

dope as hell, soul stomper, Otis-style, R&B slant

― donut e- (donut), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:49 (twenty years ago)

What I've heard of the new stuff = not convinced at ALL.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:49 (twenty years ago)

dope as Otis, soul slant, stomper style, R&B hell

― donut e- (donut), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:50 (twenty years ago)

less stomp, more pomp.

is Ian Svenenvnenvous in this band?

New Jamie Lidell album in June

― Jena (JenaP), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:53 (twenty years ago)

is that the dude from jethro tull? xpost

― tricky (disco stu), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:54 (twenty years ago)

i heard this album is better than cex!

― donut e- (donut), Thursday, 30 June 2005 20:55 (twenty years ago)

i heard thrilled stories of live shows that were strangulated otis + sickgabbanoize and i get terrence trent id'marby

― strng hlkngtn, Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:13 (twenty years ago)

also a link to the unedited interview...

http://www.thewire.co.uk/web/writing.php

― ken taylrr (ken taylrr), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:17 (twenty years ago)

adam, i love Jimi.

i can only assume those that are making Otis comparisons havenlt actually heard any Otis.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:20 (twenty years ago)

but i'll take strangulated otis, yes.

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:27 (twenty years ago)

adam, i love Jimi.

Oh, then this throws my whole theory out the window. I guess I better listen to the thing and make up my own opinions.

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

(In that I love JT and was thinking maybe you didn't like "that sort of thing")

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

id prefer j lidell singing with jimi tenor, with jimi making sure to provide all the music

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

do you like lidell, ambrose?

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

WHY IS THE WIRE DOING A STORY ON NU-JAMIROQUAI?

This jackass obviously sings to his reflection in the bathroom mirror.

bez doing an album for warp for be the fucking greatest

― donut e- (donut), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

er.....i was really down on him, but. i dont know, i liek the idea of him more than the music. i dont really like the live shows, and i only like that "when i come back around" tune. i think that is really good, if its a pastiche of something or other, it is really well done.

but if i had to choose between jimi and jamie....oh gosh

jimi tenor is still the king, generally.

― ambrose (ambrose), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

yes

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Thursday, 30 June 2005 21:40 (twenty years ago)

I thought Middlin Gear was crap. sold it back. No interest in this one. Still do love the Mosquito 12 I have though.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 1 July 2005 04:48 (twenty years ago)

seriously, if jamiroquai put this fucking album out you guys wouldn't bat an eyelash.

seriously, jamiroquai can never put out an album like this. you go listen to his latest and multiply after eachother. then come back crawling and tell me i'm right

― Joris (rizzx), Friday, 1 July 2005 04:49 (twenty years ago)

Jamie looks nothing like Bez.

― leigh (leigh), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 12:28 (twenty years ago)

I liked super collider. I cant make an opinion about multiply but I did like muddlin gear for the most part.

should I feel guilty for liking jamiroquai? haha

― vanessa novaeris (novaeris), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 18:27 (twenty years ago)

always think of lidell as yuppy club wine music, expect to see him playing here in a club without a dancefloor for 50 euro a ticket anytime soon.

perhaps I'm wrong, but can't get over that really. album doesn't grab me on first few listens.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 18:41 (twenty years ago)

Jamie looks nothing like Bez.

Of course.

I just thought the specs-and-shades vs. half-specs-half-shades thing, and the open mouth expression was uncanny (not to mention that the height of both pics are EXACTLY THE SAME! *creepy overture*)

― donut e- (donut), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 19:26 (twenty years ago)

But Warp should give Bez an album deal.

― donut e- (donut), Tuesday, 5 July 2005 19:27 (twenty years ago)

So a couple of weeks ago my local record store dude shows me this James Lidell album and asks if I wanna take it home and check it out. I say "no thanks" cuz I 'm thinking its the guy from mowax. So, I'm in the store today and he's playing James Lidell and I go whatdyawhodawhattha. Me loves super_collider and likes this way good!

....ferreal!

― peepee (peepee), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 23:30 (twenty years ago)

My wife said that I shouldn't have told her that what she was listening to was made by the guy on the Wire cover.

― peepee (peepee), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 23:36 (twenty years ago)

Heard "When I Come Back Around" on Zane Lowe earlier (ok, ok, a brief moment of musical desperation/laziness to avoid finding a CD to wash up with).

For a few long moments I really did think it was Robbie Williams 'rapping' (and I had the wrong frequency on the dial) until it clicked who it probably was. Not a great first impression :/

― fandango (fandango), Wednesday, 6 July 2005 23:41 (twenty years ago)

Kinda sorta Terence Trent d'Arby-y, no?

― MV, Thursday, 7 July 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

i'll give this some time and attention but my embarrassment meter is redlining HARD the first time thru

― g e o f f (gcannon), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:08 (twenty years ago)

embarrassment meter

keep looking over your shoulder to make sure no one thinks you are listening to jamiroquai!

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:10 (twenty years ago)

embarrassment FOR not about dude

― g e o f f (gcannon), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

what's embarrassing about this, geoff?

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

the unshakeable soul fantasy-camp vibe. thru glitch power i will live within Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa (Sad Song) forever.

nb. i'm totally unfamiliar will supercollider or his ealier record. and i don't really like herbert either, let'sallmakemistakes excepted. and i sort of like "a little bit more" so who knows where we are, you and me, mark p!

― g e o f f (gcannon), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:33 (twenty years ago)

"a little bit more" is my least favorite track on the album!

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:38 (twenty years ago)

i feel i am alone on this one.

― mark p (Mark P), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:38 (twenty years ago)

nope, that song is retarded.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:39 (twenty years ago)

cutty, you really hate this record! :)

― jed_ (jed), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:41 (twenty years ago)

no, i wouldn't read this thread if i wasn't at least mildly interested in it. i just like invoking jamiroquai.

i enjoy half the songs. i enjoy the creedence song the most.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:42 (twenty years ago)

MV's mention of terrence trent d'arby also made my day.

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:43 (twenty years ago)

i settled pretty much exactly where geoff is. a little bit more might be a retarded track, but he makes it his own atleast.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:45 (twenty years ago)

somebody ysi something good!! i like mocky & i like the mocky song w/lidell but i haven't heard any of this solo stuff

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 7 July 2005 19:46 (twenty years ago)

at least it sort of kicks. the rest of the record is reading like just very capable demonstrations to me, a pop idol tryout or something.

xpost creedence? where?

New Jamie Lidell album in June

you're a better man than me.

Here's a YSI (hopefully I did it right) of "The City," my favorite track:

http://s42.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=27ESZVJRRMZM60J59ZFM6R1L36

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Friday, 8 July 2005 01:17 (twenty years ago)

caveat: "the city" is pretty different from the rest of the album.

― there are twelve people in the world the rest are haitch (haitch), Friday, 8 July 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

I was listening to 'the city' on my walkman last night while caught in the bomb scare in Edinburgh city centre. It only succeeded in making me more jumpy than i already was so i switched it off. I'm still loving the album though. Newme is my current favourite with the mad afrobeat percussion and horns.

― leigh (leigh), Friday, 8 July 2005 07:45 (twenty years ago)

this album is kind of faking the funk. i got it today. its ok. my mom will like it. i wish it all sounded like song 3.

― huell howser (chaki), Friday, 8 July 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

eight months pass...

It's no G. Love and Special Sauce. I waited six months to say that.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 05:01 (twenty years ago)

maybe thats the problem, amirite?

― ambrose (ambrose), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 09:06 (twenty years ago)

I saw Reggie Watts live last weekend. He absolutely pummels any Lidell to the ground with a flick of his finger, btw.

― Yoo Doo Nut (donut), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 09:13 (twenty years ago)

I saw that scat set at Sonar. It was painful.

― jimnaseum (jimnaseum), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 10:32 (twenty years ago)

Tracer I kiss you!

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 11:55 (twenty years ago)

i thought i had totally done a 180 on him when i kept hearing snippets of what i thought was the new Jamie Lidell single on the radio and LOVING IT... but i discovered it was the Gnarls Barkley single "Crazy".

Nevertheless, i am coming round to JL a bit.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 12:47 (twenty years ago)

Gnarls Barkley are how JL would sound if he was as talented as he thinks he is.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 12:48 (twenty years ago)

admit it you mean as (black) as he thinks he is

― harshaw (jube), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 14:15 (twenty years ago)

the album could really benefit from more "room tone" or space around things, and/or the presence of another human being playing with him - one reason G. Love & Special Sauce were so great is that you could tell it was a collaborative jam, or it sounded just like one, anyway. this one is a little too much "jamie and his amps"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 15:58 (twenty years ago)

warp has just released a singles-bsides-outtakes-whatever comp of his

there's a freeform five remix there that's killing me

― manuel (manuel), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 16:09 (twenty years ago)

admit it you mean as (black) as he thinks he is

Do we really have to go there? Can't we just enjoy the record for what it is?

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 16:26 (twenty years ago)

he's a cutie

― youth problem (YouthProblem), Wednesday, 29 March 2006 16:53 (twenty years ago)

Not out yet, is it? I can't find any mention of it on Warp's site, discogs, amazon uk, etc... Can I beg you for a tracklist?
