I'm really liking the Freeheat stuff, Cheers Mr_J! Ohh, and I just read on Jim Reid's myspace that Freeheat broke up...

How's that for timing?
Oddly, I watched about a half-dozen JAMC videos over the weekend. Really made me miss those wacky Reids.

really? which ones? the only ones i remember are 'head on,' 'far gone and away' and 'i hate rock and roll.' was there one for 'happy when it rains?'
i think they're one of the best bands....

Well, there was "Just Like Honey," "Sidewalking," "Blues From A Gun," and "Some Candy Talking" as well. I know they put out quite a few.

erock, i don't think that the report of freeheat's demise is quite accurate; i think that jim just took an old onesheet/bio and put it up on his site, mainly because they have a new album coming out of all-new material in a few weeks. then again, who knows?
avoid william's solo band lazycame. it's horrid, just horrid. it's all just drug-induced wankery with no coherent songs, and the only one that is coherent is this horrible song about wanting to score with a thirteen year old girl. rumor has it will was strung out at the time.
better, though, is his other project Sister Vanilla, which is a folky-band type of thing that he formed with his sister, linda. i dont think they've ever progressed, though, beyond the demo stage.

dont you ever just like... listen to one band and not study their whole history and learn every obsucre fact about them whilst ignoring their most famous or acclaimed work (see: flaming lips).
you need to buy a fucking pop album. i recommend some blondie.

I'm almost a little disappointed that you of all people are encouraging things that make you stop thinking.
