I was Youtubing around for videos of Jamie Lidell at Lollapalooza and found that he'd released a video for "Hurricane," my favorite song off his new record. It's simple, wacky and strangely reminds me of the video for George Michael's "Faith" — they're both simple, feature the lead singer dancing around and make me want [...]~~

If you watch TV, particularly in north america, then you may remember this song used in an ad for Target stores. A few months ago I made a compilation of indie pop bands who got talked into selling a song for things like "...being allowed to record another album". _"The Magnetic Fields"_ sold dog food, _"The Go Team"_ shilled for Old Navy, _"Grandaddy"_ hawked cars for Honda. I had a friend in ...

According to FADER:Last week at Marvimon in Los Angeles, for a party celebrating the launch of the new MINI Clubman, England’s Jamie Lidell kicked out several brand new jams from his forthcoming album (for the first time ever!), along with a handful of he.

This was off a great WARP compilation called "Routine". Self-produced weirdness by Lidell, obviously this sex song would not be characterized as bedroom crooning. In fact it is pretty aggressive, but it has a distinct allure and some really crazy delayed synths going on making it kind of busy until he comes in with a little sweet melody.

It would be easy to dismiss Jamie Lidell as just another English cat enamored of classic Motown R&B (see: Joe Cocker through Mark Ronson). But Lidell mitigates any possible debt to the American past with his innovative arrangements, backed here by a jazzy band constructed out of chopped up samples, a strolling bassline, and a multi-tracked chorus of Jamies.Johnny Mercer, writer of countless Ame...

The 10 tracks on Jim are:'Another Day''Wait For Me''Out Of My System''All I Wanna Do''Little Bit ...

Other than the two after-hours raves I attended when I was 15, I rarely listened to or enjoyed electronic music. Just didn’t get, never felt it. It did little to excite me. Mostly – and especially when I had a techno/house-loving college roommate – electronic music did nothing but annoy me. I could find no emotion to grab hold of; no hook to keep me hanging on, just a load of droning, achy r
