Jamie T

I'm going to play some really nice chill tunes.

Started off with Jamie T's new track, Tallahassee.

And yeah, it was a nice surprise to see this music coming out.

I didn't know that he was still out and about.

He's going to be playing on the 11th and 12th of December at the Olympia.

So anyone in my age group, that's very exciting.

Bit of a throwback, Jamie T.

And the track just there was Arlo Parks.

Larrakin love, known as part of what...

NME called the Thames Beat scene a scene based in the west of London also featuring artists like the Mystery Jets and Jamie T although Jamie T I believe is from Wimbledon which I lived in for a long time and is nowhere near the Thames do you know who is near the Thames get Kate where Kate fly they live on the Thames Estuary as they said in a piece sort your names out NME although I do actually kind of want to defend NME as soon as they come up with one of these names you get a lot of artists being like oh I'm not actually Thames Beat I'm actually a unique artist I'm not part of any genre I'm not Britpop I'm not punk I'm myself blah blah blah which is deluded in a lot of ways because I'm like no your music does sound like a lot of these people usually and also it sort of fundamentally misunderstands what NME's doing like it's useful for me as a consumer to know that if I like this one band I might like this other band who is from a similar place and has a similar point of view As someone who's a fan of obscure genre names as well, Enemy has given us some incredible terms that I really wish had taken off.

For example, they called bands such as the Libertines and the Paddingtons Grottenroll.

That's pretty good, isn't it? Or, so we've talked previously about the Cosmic Scouse Seed.

Oh, absolutely, yeah.

But he came up in that time with, like, you know, Jamie T and Lily Allen.

They were a little bit before him.

But the thing was, like...

What

do we have for you today? We've got dinner, winner, music from the likes of Oasis and Jamie T.

Let's kick things off with Weezer.

Danny Wallace.

I can't walk around Soho anymore.

No. I'm always nipping into alleys, bumping into ex-hairdressers.

Here's Jamie T, 3310 on your Radio X. That's not a number one, Joe.

No, I know it's not.

But E- Ed Sheeran spent a lot of time on, in tiny venues on the circuit, sleeping on people's sofas, taking his acoustic guitar around, and sort of doing, like, pop-rap hybrids.

There was a wave of music by people such as, like, Jamie T at the time, these British artists.

But he had a way of communicating with people that really resonated.

Songs like Shape of You, which is now the second-most streamed song in history on Spotify.

Before we get into today's episode, I wanted to say a huge thank you to our most recent Patreon supporters.

So a very warm welcome to Angelica Garplan Seedorf, Nicola Jarvis, Corey Lashes, Soul Sister Society Book Club, Ray Azapardi, Jamie T, Lindsay Broom, Trinity Buckley and Catherine.

And I also owe a slightly belated welcome to the one and only Carol Poland, who joined a couple of weeks ago and somehow managed to escape my shoutout at the time.

So, Carol, I am so sorry.

Radio X.

Give you some Jamie T.

When there's no one left to fight.

Hello, Matt in Huddersfield and Emily singing away to the Platinum Hour as they move into their first home together.

Yeah.

Jamie T, you've heard of Jamie T.

I've heard of Jamie T.

Geese played Reading and Leeds this year.

I saw Geese two, three days ago.
