Good - fellow "Jamesters"
Brilliant lyrics, brilliant music and dancing like a village idiot is encouraged - what's not to like?
Great band.Have seen them many times over the years and at one point you couldn't go to any festival without them being there.Haven't listened to them for years and years, so I'll have to dig them out now you've reminded me.
Last time I saw them was when they played Beautiful Days. I've been digging around too and got this recent Scottish festival set:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBxFfTHj8_Ithe overkill of 'sit down' has marred this song as at times when I hear I just switch it off despite it being a good song
With you on that one. I suspect it's also a bit of a heavy (if lucrative) millstone round their necks. It's a bit weird really because the song is pretty much a shout of solidarity to all the misfits, loners & excluded yet it became such a massive popular song to the "masses"
Oh and good plug I remember the name Starsailor but no music - I'll youtube later.
The later stuff is better imho.
Yeah they're a bit like a fine Stilton that gets better with age. (note to self :must get some cheese)
Bloody SUPERB band!
Hope you liked 'em, Anna, feel free to post a few more!
Yeah I did like them. Fred Astaire - Had totally forgotten that on. Nice call. Proper memory trip out to that one, wasn't being in love nice. I will post some more now (1 older, I newer) and it turns out you were right - it usually is your fault
Oh and I think what I meant about the similarities between them and NMA is that both bands deal intelligently and skilfully with both sides of life, the good and bad but neither proscribe? Is that right?
