interesting, never really gave it a chance, but didn't realize a knew a number of the songs and just read some of the backstory, might be spinning this tonight (by spinning, I mean streaming)



I like this album more than many…

I still remember trekking to Tower Records in Mountain View on bus 🚎 and buying the tape. I wasn’t a big Talking Heads fan so not sure why…..then I wore the tape out on my Walkman

Why did Jamiroquai stop making music?
He explained that his longing for a family has been the driving force behind the decision to leave music behind: "All I'm going to do now is fly my helicopter and look for the right lady to have children with

Isn't Jamiroquai the band name, not a guy's name?

correct, the guy's name is Jay Kay.

however, jamiroquai = jay kay, and jay kay = jamiroquai.  he's the only remaining original member, it was "his band" from the outset, he's the main writer/composer, etc.  there is no band without the man, sorta like NIN and trent reznor: if trent reznor retires, NIN retires.

I saw jamiroquai on their first US tour in Pontiac, midway through the set Jay asked if anyone in the audience had any weed… moments later his roadie handed him a joint

You can take the Irishski out of Ireland, but…

In his autobiography, Rotten – No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs, Lydon wrote of being from an Irish background in London in the 1960s: "Londoners had no choice but to accept the Irish because there were so many of us, and we do blend in better than the Jamaicans. When I was very young and going to school, I remember bricks thrown at me by English parents… We were the Irish scum. But it's fun being scum, too.
