What a missed opportunity that episode was. You’d imagine with Ed Sheeran on their might be some people watching who wouldn’t normally. They might have liked some of the people who were on last week (Spoon, Anderson Paak etc) but the world music dreck that was on this week is unlikely to have attracted anyone’s attention.

The Internet have come across as an incredibly awkward live act there… Disappointing.

Would have been far better doing a Steve lacy song

Best thing that ever happened on Jools was ATDI tearing it up. Been many other good performances but that one was out of this world. Don’t think you can get it on youtube anymore. @nemrac time to reel it out again

Caught a bit of Thundercat the other week and was very intrigued. Bass was all over the place (london). Tried the album when it came out but it hurt my head at the time. Due a re-try

The Thundercat album is ace, give it another shot

They weren’t great but they were the best thing on it this week (not that that is saying much at all)

Only caught a bit of the show last night but that Ed Sheeran Galway girl song really fucking irks me which is some feat considering he’s a generally annoying bollocks.

That might be the most irritating song ever recorded. Apparently the record company were so embarrassed by it they wanted to leave it off the record.

That song is borderline offensive.

Roofs Are Important (if Kasabian were ever to make an Idlewild cover LP, this would surely be it).

More than borderline.

I love ATDI but their performance is a bit embarrassing on Jools tbh

It sounds like a David Brent song. It’s credited to nine writers, I’m not sure what to say about that.

#28

If you were involved in it you’d want to share the blame with as many people as possible

That was exactly my reaction to Thundercat. I’d given the album a go and had given up and then watched him on Jools and thought “but it must be better than I thought”. Not re-listened to it yet, must do so this week.

watching the new one tonight… no great shakes. I don’t go in for future islands but they were the most compelling thing on. My dad liked how the guy danced. Think I might check out Mabel, but i’m drunk so I can’t be sure how she sounded. Blondie were OK i guess… not great

Started watching but bailed pretty quick and skipped through a lot. Blondie were dull, fair play to her/them for keeping at it but I spent the whole time thinking about how the early generations of modern pop/rock are so old now and it’s weird. Future Islands seemed a bit try-hard, I’d read their new album was more toned down on the vocals but he seemed to be doing a voice trick or a weird gesture for every line. Orchestra Baobab were probably the best there, but I feel like they make better background chill music rather than attention grabbing tv performances. Idk, maybe I’m too tired and being cynical, should probs just watch KEXP vids

#32

I muted it after first Future Islands song and put on Kelly Lee Owens album. Boring af

EDIT - Not a fan of Future Islands but they’re entertaining to watch

Should form a death metal side project with that roar
