Coz I'm a Bad...

Before I get into Jamie Lloyd, Let me tell you why I like Jamie Lloyd and why there is a photo of the Blues Brothers accompanying this post. If you look at the above picture of the original and the best Blues Brothers, you'll notice they are bad-ass looking m.f's. Late at night on the way home from work I enjoy nothing more than listening to a bit of Matt Levinson and hoping that he sends something good my way because the drive home down the M4 after dropping a co-worker off can be very boring, so if the eyes can't be stimulated, I hope the ears can be. It was here I first heard Jamie Lloyd and when I listen to Jamie Lloyd, I feel cooler than the Blues Brothers, I'm a bad motherfucker.

Thanks to Playground Weekender and a few friends who sacrificed drinking the Penrith bogan infused urine that is Tooheys Extra Dry, I got my hands on a pair of glasses just like the B.B's.

Put simply, those sunnies + Jamie Lloyd on the stereo = bad motherfucker.

After weeks of poor financial tidings, incompetence from the facists at JB Hifi and a lack of time to appreciate any c.d I did buy, I finally bought a copy of Jamie Lloyd album "Trouble Within". Throughout the 13 tracks, a viciously subtle groove is developed and you unconsciously nod your head all the while. I'm going to keep it short today, but Jamie Lloyd's Trouble within is my 2007 silent killer!

The track that makes my wearing of shades at night time so worthwhile is "Bad Motherfucker" and I think when you hear it, you'll hope a pair of shades and a ghetto to strut down isn't far away. Living directly between Mt Druitt & Penrith, It isn't very hard for me.

Honourable mentions must also go to "Trouble within" "What we have" & "Alone with you".

In keeping with the Monday posts offering you something extra, I was quite chuffed to hear how everyone is really buzzing about the Belles Will Ring debut album. They're a band who is close to most Sydney blogger's hearts and while it is their music which would have ensured them success one way or another, we all can't help but feel a little proud. Head over to those sexy white beasts at S/club to find out more.

Also, the happenings behind The Basics tri-state residency had me well and truly intrigued as to how they were pulling it all off. Out of interest and habit I commented A-Reminder, and to my amazement, Sean delivered in the finest fashion imaginable. Head over to A-reminder and find out how it's all going down.
