Shameless & Shit Merch

[John Kimble]

Ah here lad, don't even bother with that subjective taste nonsense...sure everything is great so.
Even people with shit taste in music think Jamiroquai are shit.

Even if we were inclined to give you a pass on this (and I don't really care what you or anyone else listens to...we all have our guilty pleasures), don't come out with an absolute clanger like "Emergency on Planet Earth" is one of the best albums of the 1990s" and expect the rest of us to nod along and go yeah, he's right...sure, you should have seen the backing band for the Lighthouse Family back in the day, serious chops. Any other 90's recommendations for us? Savage Garden? 2 Unlimited before they got big? The Counting Crows/Merzbow split?

Or at least have the cop on to take a  good natured jibe in your stride, and not get tetchy about it.

[Ducky]

What am I getting tetchy about, exactly? Or do you actually think battle jackets are cool and don't paint the wearer as a walking advertisement? Are grown men prancing about a forest wearing panda make-up peak trve kvlt in praise of the Dark Lord?

They all look like daft cunts. Jamiroquai, Immortal, generic thrash band #1,027. It's all a visual aesthetic to go with the music. Looking like a daft cunt is kinda the whole point.

Didn't expect anyone to agree with me about my "one of the best of the 90s" statement, but also didn't expect anyone to struggle so badly on how subjective taste works.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Bottom line: it'd instantly be 20 times better with a decent singer

Like your man from The Lighthouse Family

[Eoin McLove]

The technicality of non metal musicians outstripping that of metal musicians is a total non-runner of an argument. Julesly Huxington Wanton IV might be the most technically adept jazz bassist, but I'll still be listening to Drawing Down the Moon and winning this argument 

[Emphyrio]

Ya, I'd have to say a good bassist does not a good band make. Jamiroquai were absolutely awful.

[The Heretic]

They did have a good video though where the floor was moving about n stuff

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Jonathan Glazer done that, so he did.

[Anvil]

I might have tried some Jamiroquai dance moves at a school disco to impress the ladies.  Jesus, teen me has a lot to answer for.

Is your name Napoleon?

[John Kimble]

His voice didn't bother me at all when I listened to him but the incessant interjections (sorry, I've been leafing through the thesaurus this morning) to tell us about his own experiences and his own band- a bit of an Agitators Anonymous issue there- gets on my tits. Just fucking have the good grace to let your interviewee answer in their own time and in their own words. Please. Thank you.

You'll no doubt want to tune into the next episode of AA so, yer man from Iblis is making an appearance!
That said, I did give the IM interview with Tom G a listen and it was surprisingly ok. That lad could do with dropping the five minute intros though, and the constant plugging.

Yeah the endless self promotion is nauseating.

I quite like the logo on the front, but the back print again...

[Thorn]

The Dark Angel logo is a favourite of mine but yeah...Another woefully hapless back print.
