excellence in snide reporting
I had no idea:

1) Jamaraquai was still around;

2) That they were anything other than a one-hit wonder (Jay Kay somehow has 6 platinum selling albums and 40 million pounds in the bank); or

3) that anyone would care.

But the last line of the Guardian article makes it all worthwhile:

"I might be back if I get my inspiration again, but who knows," he told the Mirror's 3am column. "I'm bored. I don't want to go back on the road. We all need a rest to be honest. I don't need the money or a deal." Whether his desire to make more ersatz funk has also diminished was left unclear.

D! I love Jamiroquai!

One of my fave songs from his last album (Dynamite - which came out in 2005):

I should clarify that I was not commenting on the merits of Mr. Jay Kay's music. I just thought that the Guardian's ad hoc editorializing at the end of the article was pretty funny.

Then perhaps you'll be interested in the part about how he's now busily looking for someone to bear his children. And flying his helicopter. Whether at the same time, I don't know.

Sounds like he was a megastar in the UK. Did his song in 2005 do anything here in the States?

Hi, from lj insomnia at 4:33 a.m. Do you mind if I add you? I was browsing Washington, D.C. lj-ers over 35 and there was Kleist, Musil, good music and obscure priests. A fellow Washingtonian, Andrew.

Cool, Hi Andrew! I'll add you back. One caveat, I moved last summer to Madison, WI w/ my partner, so I'm no longer a DCer.
