[spidikus]

genial and brilliant... and very cool he is...

[MrA5hton]

Great lyrics, I sing them when I'm running with the gases.

Kind of keeps me sane :D

[emayoh]

@Mrboobookitty Ahh yes Doo-wop -- very, very deep lyrics in that genre. It's no wonder you can look down on modern music from those lofty heights.

Bah bah bah bah......

At the hop

Well, you can rock it

You can roll it

Do the slop and even

Stroll it at the hop

Mmm, those were the classic days of songwriting for sure! Nothing can compare to that!

[cinemaniac86]

@emayoh Winning.

[Mrboobookitty]

What the Fuck is this shit. I mean really is this what modern music has come to, this crap?

[storageheater]

@Mrboobookitty what on earth do you listen to if you find a guy singing over drums and guitars so bewildering? There are old country and rock'n'roll songs more experimental than this.

[Mrboobookitty]

@storageheater Well why I don't like this is because it has not rhyme or reason to the singing at all, and that down-right confuses me. Also what I listen to is a mix of Doo-wop, 60's to 70's rock and a few singles of 90's music.

shaving infront of the liquor store - an everyday thing ^^

[larusso83]

This song is called "The City" and it's off the album "Multiply" by Jamie Lidell which was released in June 2005.

[dedred5]

What s he saying, running running with the ....?

[larusso83]

@dedred5 There are two different phrases with "running, running" in it:

1 - running with the gases

2 - running with the flocks

[dedred5]

@larusso83 Yeah the gasses one,sounded like a t in there like gotses but that didn't make much sense ,thanks.

[katgrrrl]

This video makes me nervous! :-s

Loves me some Jamie though!

[djskein]

One of the strangest videos I've ever seen. I'm surprised he didn't cut himself at all shaving there.

[ciosborn]

Intense!

[Krischi74]

Sick and ingenious.

[brazof]

best video ever i see

[samsamsonsoy]

That is one of the worst videos ever. LOL. Good sound though. 5 stars

[peppi235]

Crazy ass Video... Me Like!

[iewiehhw]

once i saw him live and there where only 15 people.

[Slyenemy]

@iewiehhw This makes me upset beyond belief.

[uglyd0g]

If you guys like this guy, you'd probably like White Flight.

It's Justin Roelofs (former The Anniversary guitarist/vox).

[etherealrhythm]

This track and video are amazing. Just saw this on a Warp Records video compilation DVD my girlfriend bought me for Christmas. Gonna have to check this guy out, seems insane.

[x734lmo56]

Yeah, I also saw this on the DVD the first time. Never heard of this guy before, but seems to be quite cool.

[etherealrhythm]

Safe, I can recommend getting into him then. I've since been listening to the JIM and Multiply LPs and it's all good stuff :).

[electricprunes]

Wicked brilliant on every level!

[faction455]

This is fricken awesome. Refreshing break from the morass of crappy million-edit short-attention-span videos out there. Plus he looks real creepy lol.

Would love to see him live!

[mnigus]

live hes much better, didnt dig this song or the vid.

[mariarts]

Witness the one man performance genius Mr. Lidell THIS IS HIS BEST VIDEO EVER

[hkrom]

does anyone iknow where i can get the bass tab for this.

[boozlered]

dumb.

[etherealrhythm]

Haha. Nice one.

[starwhoresrecords]

just... genial.

[Lewphil]

No you wouldn't because you would have been at the toilet having a wee when he was shaving and when you got back all your friends would have said "Ahh man I can't believe it you missed it....you missed him shaving" and you would have said "Shit"

[bibowski]

I would have seen him shave in concert :-P

[76jonathan]

Love it... Don't miss him play live! If you do, you'd better be dead (or in jail) and if you're in jail, BREAK OUT!!!!

[glisteningsquid7]

Even though the shaving was clearly fake, I was still nervous that he would nick himself.

What a crazy video.

[subklueless]

i still think this is better than kanye's video.

hahaha

rock it JL

[kaneel]
