I would have agreed with you a couple of years ago. But then I heard Maroon 5. Maroon 5 is for people who would love Jamiroquai if only he wasn't so damned avant garde.

and some girls are the indie rock maroon 5. your mind is now blown.

At the Shellac -curated ATP a few years ago I saw a big Belgian white rasta guy loudly cheering on Mission of Burma whilst wearing a blue Jamiroquai T shirt. At first I automatically just thought "Twat!" but as the weekend progressed, whenever I found myself enjoying anything I would think of that Belgian guy and my stomach would drop. What was he doing here? At the end of the day, discussing highlights, everything was tainted by the Jamiroquai guy. "Fucking hell, High Dependency Unit were good!" Yes, but there was a Jamiroquai fan on site. "Upper Crust! What the fuck was that? Fantastastic!" Yes...but Jesus, the Jamiroquai guy...

The only way I can deal with it is to think of girlfriends who have had a good ear for music but absolutely no musical taste so they like the Jesus Lizard and Low LPs I've played them , but still hang on to old favourites like Soundgarden and They Might Be Giants. It wasn't their fault. They tried. They were girls. They were wrong. We all make mistakes. But...that Jamiroquai guy....

they are genius.

time for a dance lesson JB

by the way, who are you oh mysterious brum dweller?!

what do you do when family friends (who are also your friends) get you a Jamiroquai CD as an xmas gift?

I don't remember exactly, but I think I said I had never heard of them. But I always like to hear new things! Too bad there's not a stereo in here...

I don't know where that CD ended up.

Carefully sharpen the edge of the CD and with great aim, throw it very hard at the centre of their forehead?

Not much more really needs to be said.

Having watched an interview with singer Jay Kay last night, its reaffirmed my unwavering belief that he is, in fact, a complete cunt.

i lived in a cultural vacuum for awhile. around the time they were getting popular.

i thought that the dude's name was jimmy rockweil 'cause a dutch guy with an accent tried to tell me how funky they were. he put his tape on the boat stereo for the tourists & i heard that "nowthereisnosoundcauseweallliveunderground" bullshit & thought "boy this jimmy rockweil hack sure is completely ripping off poor stevie wonder".




CRAPIROQUAI!
