James?

[sadimmock]

I was pretty ambivalent towards James until I saw them at last years Number 6. One of the few "big" bands to look as if they were actually trying. Would love to see again.

Though they are legends among the community who enjoy a good sit down.

The singer is known to run around..alot.  Clearly one of the great live acts.

The albums pretty good. Couple of stinkers on it but generally it is better than Le Petite Mort.

I am tired mate and coming to the end of my shift. I enjoyed it when they played it live the other week and from the 1st listen last night, I quite enjoyed it. 

The lead single is a bit crap and there is one that Tim sings in French which I found a bit underwhelming.

Fair play to them, they are always trying something new. There are a few on there that have good festival singalong potential.

Give it a listen mate.

This I agree with. Too much retrospective money grabbing 20th anniversary whatever album shite going on (The fucking Wedding Present et al are shameless money grabbing c**ts fleecing dull conservative middle aged men who pretend they like music but just want to listen to what they enjoyed when they were 18). If nothing else I respect James for trying new things and not resting on their laurels

I'd stick to Seven, Laid and Whiplash if wanting an introduction. Or their Best Of  is great.

[Mardy]

James albums what I own:

 

Stutter, on vinyl somewhere. Probably not played it for 20+ years

Laid, Best of, on CD in the spare room with all the other Cds

I had Gold Mother on cassette. Dunno where it is now though

(based on memory, they're all back in the UK now)

On the One Show right now.

Utter fucking gash.

I think your telly needs re-tuning.

Was he wearing a cat on his head

[CaledonianGonzo]

A cat being used as a hat would turn in a better vocal performance.

Just received a txt from my mum and it is quite worrying considering my mum likes Cliff Richard and my dad likes Enya.

[jimmyt]

Hippy whales listen to Enya to relax.

James were on Radio 2 this morning, covering Beyonce here. Sounds good to me

Album arrived this morning - very strong showing - quite uptempo.

[PaulieV]

I've given up hoping James will appear. They would be great Friday tea time on the Other Stage. I'm not enjoying their new album though - may be it's a grower but so far, they seem to have forgotten to write tunes. 

Still - I'd be right down the front if they do play.
