How shit is Jools Holland's show? The music tonight ranged from an epic mutilation of an English folk song, the already overplayed Hot Chip, some insufferable loser in skinny jeans and the shockingly generic Sheryl Crow. Jools is just an annoying, gormless muso twat.

Christ, I almost forgot to mention the lamo jam session they do at the beginning. God that's lame.

quite agree though morrissey put in a decent performance last week. and liza minnelli was just plain embarrasing - the amout of plastic surgery on her face would put cher to shame and thats flipping saying something.

I have never liked the jazz troll, and I never will.

I remember having a conversation with Rob back in the old Dedalus days, and I made him promise that if we ever became famous enough to be asked to play on Jools, we would refuse, just so that he could never "rinky-dink" over our music with his piano.

It's a moot point though, as we were never likely to be asked.

quite a travesty dedalus were never asked!!!

particulary cringeworthy last night was crow and ol plastic face minnelli hugging each other, i fell asleep soon after.

I still like Jools show. OK they have some shite on it sometimes but they do occasionally have the legitimate "Next Big Thing" and I enjoy the token roots / world music bands. Most mainstream media tend to stick to rock / pop etc. and I often hear soul or jazz singers on Jools that I normally wouldn't hear of. Agree he's a cunt though. He's such a brownnose in interviews it's embarrasing. See his one with Beck a few years for evidence of this.

yes i think most users of this messageboard all agree that holland is a cunt of the highest order (and a smug cunt at that) in fact he's in there with the premier league of smug cunts such as phil collins.

also agreed there is some decent stuff on it every show, quite liked the first hot chip song but the second was a bit shit.

Steve Earle next week tho

The show can be alright, but Jools Holland himself is an absolute twat.

[Dave Crashdown]

good to have a successful show that people watch that shows actual live music though... closest thing to whistle test on tv

I never really watched it a lot.
I do like it though. The Radiohead/Feist show was amazing, but purely for those acts and it was a shock to see Jacob Golden on yesterday...
...but, aye, s'nae bad likes.
