lidl = male winehouse

[thembuzz]

all these mainstream radio programmes are playing jamie lidell's new single (which i'm a bit underwhelmed by) and touting him as the male amy winehouse, as if he's some sort of johnny-come-lately pop-soul chancer. it's a bit weird. almost as weird as the time i saw that picture in heat of cristian with shaznay lewis

[Sheridan]

so when lidell become such a major drug addict then?

[thembuzz]

he took heath ledger's death very hard

[bracket]

Tim Exile is the next Jamie Lidell

Apparently

[Loz]

thembuzz is the new James Blunt

[bracket]

fact

[thembuzz]

no, i'm actually the old james blunt. that pointy-faced bollock stole my act

[gen-eral]

yuk. I can just hear Jo Whiley's twatty voice bleeting on about this one.

[Konx-om-Pax]

can't see winehouse pulling this shit off but...

[Smartie]

a silly thread ! lol

[Spandex]

yuk. I can just hear Jo Whiley's twatty voice bleeting on about this one.

Watched a documentary about the Mighty Boosh the other day. Was only mildly interesting... but there was one bit that made us properly piss ourselves.. they were interviewing Jo Whiley and she was saying how the Boosh are massively into their music (Jo's everso sharp) and at one point she said, slightly incredulously, "They probably know more about music than ME!".

I tried to conceive of someone knowing more about music than Jo Whiley but it put too much strain on my imagination and I had to stop for a nap.

[thembuzz]

yeah, jo whiley is like some next-level rock oracle and shit

[Konx-om-Pax]

[phil2]

[phil2]

[Loz]

well failure..

well... you know, so long as he's happy with what he's doing and enjoying himself. We don't have to like everything he has done, do we?

I could lay a cable in your mums mouth so long as she didnt object

[Loz]

eh?

what does that even mean?

[phil2]

do a poo in mummys mouth so long as she doesnt say stop it philip

[Loz]

how would she say stop it if her mouth was full?

[Laszlo]

Jamies not only nicked stevies music but has also raided his head movements and shit. Poor stevie.

[bigus]

how would she say stop it if her mouth was full?

hahaha brilliant. funniest thing i've heard all day:)

[mdk]

she could give his balls a little shake, like ringing a bell.

[Loz]

that would probably just goad him on

[phil2]

when paul put out his shit on Spymania i was like decent, hes gonna come with some flavourful shit, but now hes gone into this embarrasment realm, i can't fathom it..

[Loz]

his live act is still amazing, presuming he's doing the same act as he was a couple of years ago

[Laszlo]

innit Phil.

[kams]

pebble mill bbc television centre jools holland allure.

[skosh]

haha pebble mill

[Hand on the Plow]

The new album is... can't even be bothered to describe it.

[Yer_Maw]

As i said before - ovaltine soul

[mdk]

i wouldnt mind a cup of ovaltine right now you know. i'll have to settle for a chocolate milkshake.

[thembuzz]

i liked multiply, but i was under the impression that that was something he just had to get out of his system and then he'd move on. the new single's a bit level 42 honky-funk. he must've really liked jamming with jools

[leatherface]

I Love Jazz

[nempsey]

he's touring with live musos now so it seems no more crazy techno one man band

infected by jazz wankery

[Sheridan]

I think he should hook up with Cristian again and do another Super_Colider album. Cristian will set him right on the techno front.

[skosh]

level 42????????????? that's even worse than the comparison to amy shitehouse :cry:

[soulcheck]

I think he should hook up with Cristian again and do another Super_Colider album. Cristian will set him right on the techno front.

It would be a punkrockjazz embarrassment then.

time piece.

[Loz]

interesting, I hope that this album is just an experiment with him, and he'll go back to making crazy shit by the next one.

[mdk]

lets hope so.

[thembuzz]

what, an experiment in music for dfs adverts?

[Loz]

can't imagine that making bland department store jazz is what he had in mind for a future career.

[Yer_Maw]

I dunno, maybe if all you do is write bonkers songs maybe writing something commercial is a like a weird departure.

Cant blame him after winehouse though. Needs a crack addiction but.

[Loz]

I thought that Multiply was his weird departure. I really like that album, I think it's a really good solid album, but I hope that's not just where he's going to stay, because he's capable of so much more.

I feel for him a bit, though. Loads of people are ripping off his act now, making it seem slightly less special. And if you're a musician who has to keep moving on, he might be getting bored of the same live shows, trying to find something new to do, a new spin on it.

I'm hoping that it's a bit like a reverse-radiohead. Whereas they went all weird and electronic, then came back with a brilliant rock album with everything they'd learnt from their electronic experiments, maybe Jamie will drop an absolute bomb of a record in a couple of years, taking what he's learn from this side-step into the mainstream, link it up with the weird electronic shit, and come up with something amazing.

[mdk]

lets hope so.

[Loz]

he has my faith to do so

I did just order a copy of Sativae 13 in honour of all he used to stand for, though.

[thembuzz]

right, i don't mind him going after commercial success. i don't mind him carrying on in the same vein as mulitply, if he'd keep the quality up. even if he just wants to be a straight singer now, and leave all the wonk behind, i don't care. but little bit of feel good is middle-aged coffee table bollocks, and from what i've read and heard from a few places, the rest of the album isn't much better

[Yer_Maw]

well would you rather have the adulation of a bunch of shytey forum chin stroking geeks, or pay of the mortgage when your star is rising?

haha

i thought multiply was pish too, but fair play. male winehouse though, youre right.

[Loz]

I liked Multiply. Sure, it was straight song writing, and sure, it sounded a lot like people had done before it, but it had some great tracks on it.

the only downside is that Vibert's remix of A Little Bit More ruined the original for me.

[Yer_Maw]

i hope mark ronson produces the new album. that guy is da bomb.

[Spandex]

lets hope so.

[cynthia]

haha, i actually thought the topic was "lidl = male warehouse".... dont even know why im reading it...

[garew]

He's had a taste of fame. Techno would be career suicide.

[thembuzz]

well, yeah, but he clearly never used to worry too much about his career path, did he?

anyway, multiply was a pretty bold step, given his fanbase back then

[audiofelch]

.. havnt posted here for a while.. but knew this was the place to share some lidell-grief over the new single..

its so bland. its so forgettable.. and unconvincing.. its a Winehouse.. no,.. a joss-stone outtake.

and his voice sounds tired. lacking the sweet edge.
the mad touring has probably finally taken its toll.


what the fuck is he doing.
at least make a quality pop soul record man. multiply was just that a points.it had some proper classic songs on it.

i have a bad feeling that this tour is going to be so sterile .. with a bunch of l.a. session cunts smoothing everything out.

really depressing.
he's got so much talent and scope.. but it seems like a marketing man is telling him what to do.. and a marketing man with no fucking vision or balls at that.


has anyone heard the album in full yet?

[soulcheck]

I bet that apart from the shitty song phil posted all the other tracks are like

BWOOOOOOM BWOOOOOOOOOM TADAMMMMMMMM BWOOOOOOOOM

Yeah, I've heard it. I quite enjoy it actually, it's not ground breaking or nothing, but it's a good listen.

I'd do terrible, terrible things if it meant a new super_collider album could be made though.

[skosh]

i just listened to little bit of feel good and i liked it, i like stevie wonder too, but then i'm middle aged so i'm allowed to say stuff like that, but i do also like crazy music too so i'm cool

what a load of moany cunts you are lol

[garew]

this boards does have a shot load of moany cunts

[skosh]

lol every board has them eh

[thembuzz]

i love stevie wonder, which is why i don't like little bit of feel good

[skosh]

i take your point but Jamie's not the first and he won't be the last to have Stevie's sound

[thembuzz]

ooh, no, if he had stevie's sound i'd probably like it. what he has is the sound of a twenty-something couple having dinner on coronation street

[skosh]

fairy muff, i dinnae think the tune's that bad, he's still got more soul than duffy, estelle and adele all put together lol

[thembuzz]

you leave lovely estelle out of this

[skosh]

ahahahaha!

[V Knid esq]

It's true, you know - the conspiracy would cut off his pocket money if he made a techno tune.:D :! 8-()

what he said.
Over about a 13 month period I saw Lidel live 3 times (Coachella,opening for Beck and in LA) and missed him twice at the troubadour and at the ghetty.
i think he's an awesome performer, singer and musician. He should DEFINITELY make another Supercollider album- that would be sooo dope.

[Orang Utan]

He's on 4Play at 12.35 next Thursday night (17th April), C4

[grobelaar]

He's on Channel 4 right now - one of those big Four Music expose jobbies. Lots of snippets of videos and songs (still the same quirky Jamie in the videos) - plus overly post processed snippets of him and Mocky in LA.

Definitely hitting the big time. i don't know I'm not feeling the sound that much. But he always said he never wants his live shows to be like his album, so much as this album might be much more commercial I'm sure he's ready and waiting to subvert.
