Playlouder - Music is the Network

Just wanted to say. Sorry, I don't really have anything constructive or positive to say about anything. I have no insights on how to make the world a better place for everyone, except maybe by using this guy as a natural flood defence. Fucker.

yeah he sux.....i think the thing that winds me up the most is he has positioned himself as a solo artist and then making decidely average indie pop....it feels like a vain attempt to postion himself as the same canon as people like nick drake, elliott smith et al

The thing is, he's the complete hate package. It's not just the nauseating 80s cod-soul car crash of his music but that that horrid mockney voice, the stpud fucking w ay he moves on the stage and that way he dresses like some dodgy traveller who's just done a cowboy job on your tarmac and is demanding to be paid.

haha yeah ive always been slightly uncomfortably around people who button up shirts to the top without a tie

The guy is just naff all over. I wouldn't bother having a moan like this if it wasn't for the fact that a) I'm British so genetically inclined to whine a lot and B) he wasn't rammed down our throats everywhere (not literally of course, that would be hideous)

i agree 100% with both of you: i very rarely get angry about bands these days - no need anymore, most new British groups never make it past their second LP - but Jack Peanut fills me with a near-psychotic loathing

he's essentially a deeply affected and unbearably smug posh busker, who has taken Billy Bragg's template and stripped it of the politics, wit and intelligence (which doesn't leave much)

as one of my friends put it when seeing that NME cover: if you hit him with a stick, sweets would come out of his mouth

Jamie T. Jack Penate. Legal immunity. An ancient muzzle loader with just one round. Discuss

Could it get through Kate Nash too?

i do like the way she looks on the nme cover...

blackfag sir, judging from this and your bit in the Uffie thread you seem keen to spare pop ladies your wrath just because you think they're a bit fruity. not on, not on at all.

hehe sorry im not excusing her and the uffie thing was a joke, but i cannot help but admire a lovely female when they come around! anyway i was reading the article in question and my god it was fucking awful. i know nme has been clappers for many moons now but this was essentially a celebration of rich nobs in music. the part which made me giggle was when they described how penate and his maccabees mate would practise their stchtick to 'escape from the hoodies outside waiting to get them'............what a bunch of puffs!

did anyone saw about that jack penate mess in glasgow? writting the walls at some club.... checkout this thread at optimo's forum http://www.optimo.co.uk/echationew/viewtopic.php?t=595

Hahahaha.....thanks for that link. Classic

hahaha, thanks Goncalo!

Ha ha ha "he had the pen on him AND he was covered in pen". What a penis.

But in answer to Luke's testing poser - the bullet has to be for Jamie T. Penate may be the more annoying now, but T is taken seriously by many and could spawn an army of self-styled urban troubadour clones.

"if you hit him with a stick, sweets would come out of his mouth" I actually laughed out loud at work after reading that, please don't make me laugh loudly at work...

so does that give us carte blanche to hit him with a stick?

also does a lead pipe qualify as a stick

It was Dr Jacques, in the Billiard Room with the Candlestick

I went to watch him at the Scala the other week and he ended by doing a cover version of Beats International's Dub Be Good To Me.

Not only did he do the Big Boss Hoss Ham Gritty Nitty bit but he changed the words to say "This is Jack hot."

He looks like Shaking Stevens pretending to be misery guts from Big Country.

Were you sent by work to see him? Thats not on. I'm sure that goes against health and safety regulations in one way or another. And I think what you said is an insult to Shakin Stevens.
