Ouch !
 I found this article very ... hum, well,  instructive.
Once again, JK prooves himself to be the embodiment of duality  in human Nature.
On one side he is very angry  at Sony for not pushing AFO in the USA. Maybe if it were the case, Jamiroquai would have to tour there. On the other side, he admits himself that touring is exhausting.
How does it work for the other groups? Do they get full-planetary support from Sony?
Does JK want to bite  two many pieces of the cake at the same time?
Not so long ago, we had this topic here on Jamirotalk about the record industry.
Maybe they are sharks. Still they own the power and the means to manufacture, advertise, organize, coordinate, schedule all events related to the sales of an album.
A small editor would not acheive this.
What will happen if JK really leaves Sony? As far as I know Sony is a BIG company. Which garanty does JK have that the other record company will do better than Sony?
 I have no idea about what a contract between an artist and a record company looks like. Does anyone know?
In the article, they mention the American market as a failure  . It is such a short-term narrow view! Did the Beatlles acheive their group ranking 1# of all time in music history in 9 years only?
JK must be really tired, as he says. Why does he spoil his energy being cynical and angry instead of negotiating the promotion in the US with Sony?
Even if the AFO album  was released 1 year ago, this does not prevent pushing the promotion now, or even next year. Is the music market so tensed and fast-running that if a CD is not sucessfull during the 1st year after its release, it's all over? I don't think so.
Look what happen with Dido. Her CD was released 1999 and she got the awards for it in 2001/02.
It works that way for the film industry. Sometimes we get US film on European screen 3 years after their US release!
I can imagine that the sales of the former Jami albums have encountered a revival since since the release of AFO, because AFO brought news fans to Jamiroquai. It is not a single-shot story. Good music is like good wine: it grows better in taste and in fame with time.
I cannot beleive that local radio stations play only what the record companies tell them to. Now Jamirofan2000, do you want to be in charge of visiting all radio station of the USA 1 by 1 and promote Jamiroquai. Ah, Ah!  Nice job?
I could not help smiling at the sentence: "...I have to have some kids.. I don't want to be 38...look around.. and see everyone else have a nice stable life..."That's short-term thinking again!
Maybe someone should tell JK the good news: he is a male!  This means that he is theorically able to generate children probably until he is 90!
If he wants a "stable" life, why should he simultaneously despise  the way of life of employees with a 9-to-5 working day and declares it is not for him?
I was so pleased to read JK say "Actually you have to find someone serious to settle down with". Wow, this guy woke up. It is a miracle!.
Now, the question is not whether there is a serious girl out there for JK, but rather how serious JK HIMSELF is?
( I'm afraid that Welsh girls have put him out off their list, too bad for him).
By the way, he could ask himself what it is what women find so  attractive in men working in the bank ...
Yes JK, take a break  , re-generate , go on re-hab  , go fishing  , say yes to sports and no to drugs, do whatever which will bring you peace of mind  and a "sunshine  smile upon your face". |

Jay Kay's Aussie Interview venting....
 Dear Fellow Jamirophiles, :jay2:
Hello everyone , I've been on a extended vacation from both life & the net, I still update my site on time (using my friend's IBook!). I'm back full time and boy, does the unpredictability of Jay Kay's mouth surprise me  ! I can understand Jay's feelings, but I do agree Jay Kay's views, but lashing out at the U.S. isn't helping, you have to remember the factors that caused the unsuccessful sales of AFO in the U.S.: 9/11, the pathetic underpromotion of AFO in the States by Sony, and the Overly-redundant Pop scene, which I think is the best part of the Aussie interview (Read that section of the interview and yelled, "Preach on brother!"). But I believe Sunrayvibe's reply best suited reaction to this interview, she seems so more elaborative than I, American Jamirophile Number 1! Sunrayvibe, I like your idea of yours truly touring all radio stations and getting them to play Jamiroquai, whenever I listen to radio (With the current Pop climate, I'd rather put earplugs in!), I call the radio station and request Jam, but 4 out of 5 times, the on-air DJ says, "Jamiro-who?!?", radio stations need to stop hiring no name college DJs! But I believe Jay Kay or Jamiroquai won't come stateside for a long time, I never thought I hear myself utter those words being a 9 year long Jamiroquai veteran, not until Jay calms and takes a much needed break, America wins it's war on terror (Next stop: the burning oil fields of Iraq?!?) and the American music scene rights itself, pulls the plug and watchs POP wash down the drain and concentrates on more worthwhile music like Rufus Wainwright, Jamiroquai, the White Stripes, Coldplay, Travis, Radiohead and many others. Thanks for listening and keep up the usual great work CosmicMouse and Bear. I would like to throw a props to Sunrayvibe for comments, I can you see your rays from my Corner Of The Earth! Peace!
Delivering Jay Kay's perscription of Valium,
~JamiroFan2000~

JAMIROFAN'S THOUGHT OF THE POST

I don't care what Jay Kay thinks,
I will continue my undying support of
Jay Kay and Jamiroquai!

Hi everyone. As I read the article I wanted to post directly but had no time. When I read Sunrayvibes post everything I wanted to write was said!! Sunrayvibe - I love your post  You are able to comment everything so clearly and funny I just cannot add anything. I became a fan last September with AFO and until then I bought all albums - and I can say that I love the 2 first albums the best  So Jay - think of the old wine and just calm down. Do what Sunrayvibe told you to do and always remember that we all love you!!! |

Here comes the entire article from the Herald Sun:
(credits to Andrew and Craig from jamline!)
| Quote: |
Little Jay of Sunshine
Cameron Adams meets Jay Kay - the angriest little rock star in pop - at his
Essex mansion
Jay Kay is not a happy camper. Here's the scene. We're at his British mansion, snooping around the pool next to his recording studio and checking out the moat (yep, the moat) that surrounds the house that's several hundred years old.
The Jamiroquai frontman finds the picturesque country house so relaxing he has written a song about it: Corner of the Earth.
It's so relaxing he hasn't surfaced yet. And when he eventually does, he
looks like he has just tumbled out of bed.
But word on the street (or beside the moat, anyway) is that he skipped the
small matter of sleep last night, opting instead for a mini-bender.
It's a Monday morning and that means one thing in England: the chart has
been released.
And Jay Kay demands to know where his latest single (in a delicious display of irony it's Corner of the Earth) has landed.
It's a controversial single for Jamiroquai. The stark, personal ballad is
miles from the adult funk for which he's known. And it's like little else
on the radio.
This might explain why it barely scrapes into the Top 40, despite a rather
expensive, hi-tech video, Jay Kay laments it gets "f...-all" screenings on
British TV.
There's an outburst directed at his Sony representative (you figure she
drew the short straw) and as the face of his record label, she cops his
full temper, and a string of F-words and invective.
Long story short, Jay Kay wants off his record label, Sony. Now. When we
leave he's on his knees begging the woman to help him leave. Seriously.
He signed a long-term deal with them barely out of his teens. And while
he's sold millions ("27 million" he helpfully states several times), his
failure to break the American market has been a major frustration.
Luckily, he has no such problems with Australia, where, per capita, his
latest album A Funk Odyssey far outsells the rest of the world. That's more
than 200,000 sales Down Under.
Having parted with the manager this year, and now taking care of business
himself, this is the kind of information Jay Kay is well versed in.
"The Australian record company are doing wonders, they're working it," Kay says.
"I'm very very happy. The irony of it is that nothing seems to be going
according to plan anywhere else.
"It's doing well in the UK, everywhere else is down and America is
non-existent as usual. F... them."
And, with that, Jay Kay is off, no prompting...
What's the solution to your frustration with record companies?
The solution is make a great album, then say, "You can't have it and I
ain't coming back". Play them at their own game. I love the fans dearly,
the rest of the crap I just can't deal with.
You mean America?
Yeah, it just costs us money and I've got no time for them. I live here. I
have a very nice life. I've signed my publishing deal, I've paid my
mortgage off, what the f... do I need to go to America for? I've sold 27
million albums; out of them maybe two million were sold in America. They're not keeping my living up so I couldn't give a sh.. I don't give a sh..
At some point you have to make a stand and say, "F... it, if you can't get
my record played on the radio, then I ain't going to come back". What's the
point? I ain't going to sit down and plan a way to crack America, I don't
give a f... There's a whole big world out there and, to be honest, it's not
my favorite place.
Why don't you just walk from Sony if you're so unhappy?
I can't walk (he's still contracted to several more albums), which is a
shame, because I want to. But to be fair, it's not so much the rest of the
world, it's the States. I've been through four Sony companies in the US:
Columbia, Epic, 550 and Work. Not one of them can make it happen. I ain't
got time for them.
What's your take on the music industry at the moment, especially things
like downloading?
I haven't got a lot of time for computers. Kids are going to forget how to
read or write. Every Tom, Dick and Harry can do their music and download it on the net. The whole thing's a f...-up really. Nobody knows what's going
on, that's why I'm going to take a break from it. I might not even be
bothered coming back.
What, you might retire?
Maybe. But if everyone's going to just take music for free, what's the
point? At the end of the day we're trying to make a living. The whole music
industry is built on thieving other peoples stuff - thieving this and that,
telling the kids it's your tune even though it was a hit 25 years ago. It's
bulls...
Do you see yourself as an antidote to what's in the chart?
It doesn't work like that. It's geared up to sell sell sell to kids kids
kids. It's exploitation. These Popstars programs sign all the acts, it's
cheating. you're meant to sign the winner. Cheating bastards. S Club
Juniors (the pre-teen version of S Club 7). Now we're really getting into
some territory. Now we're really going to f... some kids' lives up, and
make some snotty-a..e kids out of it.
What happens when you've made your money, you stinking f...ing record
company bastard and you kick these poor kids out on the street? Once their balls drop and their voices go higher they're going to be wondering what the f... is going on when they're serving fries and cheeseburgers in
McDonalds: "Hey, I was a pop star when I was nine!" I'm f...ing glad it
didn't happen to me.
You seem very cynical.
Yeah. I am extremely cynical. I'm cynical about the people in this
industry, cynical about the lot. It's just not what I wanted to do when I
came along. I just wanted to make some tunes and sing. Which I've done.
Done some great tunes.
You're also quite cluey about the business side of the music business...
My mum spent 30 years being ripped off by agents and managers. F... that.
I'm dealing with crappy TV producers and directors saying, "Hey Jay, why
don't we do this in the video?" Record company people stick their noses
into my videos all the time. I say, "You do what you're good at,
concentrate on that".
Do you think you're difficult to deal with?
I'm difficult but that's because I'm a human being. This is my life, my
music, my career, my job. I'm not letting some motherf...er just do what
they want to do with it. I won't be manipulated. I mean, I know I'm
manipulated to a point, I know I'm a product, fine, but let's not pretend
we're f...ing friends because the day my record doesn't do well they'll get
rid of me. What do you want? Butter? I'm an artist. That's what I do. One
minute you want the edgy rock star, the next you want something as pure as the driven snow.
It's an unusually sunny day in the UK, but Jay's been sniffing his way through the interview. Picture of my Life, from his latest album, deals with how he cleaned up from his well-documented cocaine addiction. But it seems now he's singing a different song...
Have you kicked those problems?
Well, not really. I did for a while but then it went horribly wrong again.
Drugs are crap like that. I don't even want to talk about it.
You haven't done the celebrity rehab thing though.
I don't want to do self-promotion crap that puts me in the f...ing
newspapers, I'm not going into that s... I know what I'm doing, I know
what's going on. You go up and down with these things, but to be honest
with you, who the hell wouldn't, doing this job? It's a f...ing nightmare.
Who could keep up with this formulated sterile world (that) music's become?
I've got no time for it, I want to take a break, forget about it.
What do you mean?
I've had enough of living out of a bag, not doing the normal things normal
human beings do. I'd like to spend my days here hunting and gathering,
preparing food, have a nice time and not worry about, "I've got to do a TV
show in the morning", or "Come away in our campervan to Scotland". "No I
can't I've g\only got two days off". I want to be free to just go,
"Bollocks, I want to go do this, this and this".
Can't you do that now?
I can't. I'm in an album cycle, I have to carry on. I do the stuff I have to.
But you must realise to the average person working 9 to 5 in a bank you
might look like a whingeing rock star. It's a pretty charmed life.
Everything's relative. I know it looks charmed, but it's extremely high
pressure.
(Stands up and shouts) Hey, if you want to go work in a f...ing bank that's
your choice. If you want to work in a bank and pay the Government loads of tax money, and they let you drink alcohol on a Friday and Saturday night, and you come bleary-eyed into work on a Monday morning, and do it all again for the next 40 years and get a carriage clock at the end of it, that's your own f...ing problem.
You wanted to do it, not me. I ain't, never was. why would I want to do
that? But this isn't as plush as it looks. This all has to be paid for.
I've got a company - anywhere up to 60 people - and they're all getting
paid out of one pocket.
I'm sick of being at the centre of the wheel. At the start it's all fun,
being on tour. But after a while sitting in the back of a bus with no air
conditioning in the middle of summer...
Anyone who thinks it's a charmed life should try going around the world at
extreme mad turbulence and worry if you're going to get there alive.
Driving all night, a few hours sleep, meet-and-greets, then the next show.
There's nothing glamorous or charmed, in fact it's quite terribly hardcore.
It really is. Hardcore. It's hard work and it's a hrad job and it's very
difficult. The trouble with me is that I'm not prepared to put some nice on
and smile and talk about it. I just give it to you straight down the line,
tell it the way it is. Aren't we all sick of reading Hello magazine and
people saying such nice things.
So when are you going to stop touring?
I'm stopping in December mate. Australia's it. Bye everyone, see you later, end of story. If I come back, then I do, if i don't, I won't.
So you're on the verge of retirement?
Might be. You never know.
Surely you'll get the urge to record again?
'Course I will. I'm not stopping. I'm not beaten that easily. All I'm going
to do is go away and, perhaps, when the industry recovers I'll come back
and do something that's worth doing.
I'm not going to slog my a... off going around the world to promote a
record when people don't even pull their fingers out. All you're doing is
making other people money. Keep the pot boiling. I just get the feeling I'm
balancing out the record companies' books and I know I'm not wrong.
You have a reputation as a ladies' man, is that a perk of the job?
Yeah. But then you actually have to find someone serious to settle down
with. This ain't the job to do that. At some stage I've gotta have some
kids. That's another thing. I don't want to be 38 and look around and think
that everyone's got a nice and stable life and I'm still doing this and
travelling around and living out of a bag. You can't go and find all those
nice things while you're on the road. The two just don't go together.
Aren't you doing what you love?
I am. I love writing it and making it and singing it in front of people,
but I don't like doing kids' TV shows, or dealing with record companies or
all the crap that goes with it. I don't like the attention from the press.
I don't have to be in the papers all the time. In this country the press
are a...holes. I f...ing hate them. (Pause) I just need a rest. You're
right, I've become cynical. I'm a little bit tired. I spend a lot of my
time fighting. "Why do we have to do this? Why did we release that?" I just
need a break. |

And here comes the SUN's interpretation of Jay's interview:
| Quote: |
Fed-up Jay Kay quits pop
Hat's your lot ... Jay Kay has had enough
and says he will bow out in December
In an astonishing rant, Jay says he will play his last live gig in December then bow out of the industry. He reckons that unless record bosses change their ways that will be the last anyone sees of him.
The jaded wildman says: “I love the fans dearly, the rest of the cr*p I just can’t deal with.”
He slams the business for taking money and giving nothing back, corrupting young kids in the British music industry and failing to get his band a break in America.
On the current state of the industry, he blasts: “The whole thing’s a f***-up, nobody knows what’s going on. That’s why I’m going to take a break. I might not even bother coming back.
“I’m very cynical about the people in this industry, I’m cynical about the lot.
“It’s just not what I wanted to do when I came along. I wanted to make some tunes and sing.
“But this job is a f***ing nightmare. Who could keep up with this formulaic and sterile world?
“I’ve got no time for it, I want to take a break and forget about it.”
“The whole music industry is built on thieving — telling the kids it’s your tune even though it was a hit 25 years ago. It’s all bulls***.
“It’s all geared up to sell, sell, sell to kids, kids, kids. Things like SCLUB JUNIORS — now you’re really going to get into some territory where you f*** kids’ lives up. What happens when you’ve made your money, you stinking record company b*******?
“You kick these poor kids out on the street. Once their balls drop and their voices break they’re going to be wondering what the f*** is going on.
“They’ll be serving fries in McDonald’s saying, ‘Hey, I was a pop star when I was nine’.”
Jay also attacks his own record company Sony for failing to make the band big in America — even though they won a Grammy for the song Virtual Insanity in 1998.
He says he wants the label to release him from an eight album deal. Jamiroquai’s most recent offering, last year’s A Funk Odyssey, was their fifth. Jay says: “I’ve sold 27million albums.
“Out of those maybe 2million were sold in America — the label are not keeping my living up so I don’t give a s***.”
Jamiroquai have been in the big time since 1992.
But frustrated Jay has clearly had his fill.
He says: “At some point you have to say, ‘If you can’t get my record played on the radio then I’m not coming back’. I get the feeling I’m propping up the record company and I’m not happy.
“I’m going to go away and perhaps, when the industry recovers, I will come back and do something worthwhile.”
Jay also moaned that his lifestyle and the pressures of touring are stopping him settling down. He says: “You have to find someone serious. It’s not that easy.
“I want kids. I don’t want to be 38 and looking round at everyone else whose got a nice, stable life when I’m travelling round living out of a bag.” |

Well
Thank you Jamirofan2000 for explaining to us abroad what the situation looks like in the States.
Just like you proposed in another topic that Mouse and Bear should be hired to run the official jami site, I still think that some motivated US fans could do a good job in promoting Jami in their own country.
On the Jamline, Deesha told that the radio station she usually listens to played Jamiroquai after several Jamliners had e-mailed their requests.
Butterfly, I think your short sentence sums it all up for JK: all he needs is  LOVE .
Let's remain optimist for JK's future:
although he yells at almost everybody during his interview, he knows his own weaknesses and sounds ready to change something in his life.
(starting with: get a good night  sleep to calm his nerves down ) |

i can understand jay that he wants to find a "normal" wife and live a common life! but don´t really understand what he means with his critizises about the labels... unfortuanlatly he didn´t mention an example! well, of course they only want to sell sell sell ... but aren´t jamiroquai in a position to change a bit? but no.. what am i talking... they wouldn´t change anything.... money.. rules the world....

This is sooo very strange to read this. I know nothing about Jay Kay and his personalitly and i think i'm getting a screwed up image of him now which is probably not correct. The opinions and views on Jay Kay on the Jamline have confused me even more.
I just became a fan when COTE came out so I know absolutely nothing about Jay's past, i never seen any shows (i'm already sad about that and reading this article doesn't really make it better) and the worst thing of all......I WORK IN A BANK, and just signed a longterm contract with my boss on the day the article came out! I come home all happy to have a permanent job and what do I read???  , i can laugh about the last part but the rest is very confusing for me. |

I'm sure Jay Kay wasn't serious....:)
 Hello again, :jay3:
It's interesting to read my fellow fan's reactions to Jay Kay overly candid interview. Upon reflection, I don't really think what Jay Kay said was serious, probably just a bad hangover is what fueled his comments. Some American fans may take his verbal bashing of America literally, but having seen all the sides of Jay Kay over the last 9 years, I can understand his problems, personal and otherwise. AFter that year, we'll see a new happy and energized Jay Kay, bright eyed  and bushy tailed ready to grab the world by the ear and turn up the new old sound that Jamiroquai left in a closet at the mansion! Thanks for listening and have a great weekend all my fellow Jamirophiles! Peace!
Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000
--------------------------------------------
JAMIROFAN'S THOUGHT OF THE POST
--------------------------------------------
A Hangover ridden Jay Kay + a annoying
Aussie Magazine reporter + Jay Kay's
hatred of the press = a rather vulger interview;
A Year rested Jay Kay + No Sony disruption +
happy band members + new shiny Jamiroquai
songs + The return of the old sound = The best
Jamiroquai album to date..6th time is a charm! |

Did not understand
Hi Jamirofan ,
I did not understand that JK was actually aiming the US citizens with his critics. I became aware of it only after reading the shoked reaction of the US fans on the Jamline.
Wow, you kept really cool  .
Well Ezzi ,
seems that a girl with a regular 9-to-5 employment contract in a bank is a much happier human beeing than a famous pop-star with 14 luxury in the garage of his too big mansion...
Thank you JK, for teaching us (again) that money is not a guarantee for happiness. |

I don't where the aim was..?!?
Hello, :jay3:
I hope everyone had a nice weekend, the Labor Day weekend here in the states was tiring for me, pretty much everyone celebrated the holiday by eating steak and other greasy food ( I work in a steakhouse..AKA Hell!).
[size=18][/size]TO SUNRAYVIBE.....
[size=12][/size]I don't know where Jay Kay's aim was, but being American, we americans sometimes take little comments overly personal, but I didn't, having followed the band for so long. I figure had a rather nasty alcohol bender the night before and the hangover was taking a bad effect on Jay. Overall, I'm not offended, unless Jay burns a flag after the interview and rips a picture of the Pope...that was a little too far for the humour, I apologize.
Thanks for listening and the usual props to CosmicMouse and Bear! Peace everyone!
Sincerely,
JamiroFan2000

JAMIROFAN'S THOUGHT OF THE POST
---------------------------------------------
They ought to interview Jay Kay's hats
when Jay isn't available for comment, I
can see it now, "This Richard Knockoff
for SkyTV with a exclusive interview with
Jay Kay's Fake Animal Fur Top Hat from the
TWOM era, now, Hat, If I could call you hat,
how has your relationship been with the
Popstar?" (The Hats draws some breath and
says in a low monotone voice) "All he does is
throw across the room, shags for several hours,
has a few drinks, then wakes up and stuffs me
and my cousins on his head and walks out. I could
consider throwing a lawsuit on Jay with the support of
my fellow hats, but I keep forgetting, I'm just a hat."
(Richard smirks and shakes head up and down in a agree-
ment)..... LOL
P.S. I'm glad I taught you a new word Sunrayvibe! |

Hi Jamirofan!
I like your comments. They always make me laugh - even early in the morning! I think that Jays hats could tell a lot if they could speak!!!
But there's another thing I want to say about the interview: Jay always emphasizes that he is looking for a serious relationship and that he wants to have children asap. - But why does he always dates 20 year old blond models Could you imagine that a model of 20 is keen on giving up her carrier for beeing mother and wife??? Ok, money makes it a lot easier - but he should go on looking for "normal girls"
Ok that were just my thoughts about it!
I wish you all a nice day |

Feeling naughty...
I am feeling naughty this morning so I will not show the gentleness and forgiveness of Jamirofan and of MrsMoon (yes Mrs Moon, it is very sad indeed).
My thought about this topic today is:
JK has a lot of work to do on himself before he can even think of meeting someone for a relationship to last for long.
As CosmicMouse pointed out on the Jamline, his drugs addiction is one of the major problem he should start with.
Now I feel miserable, because I spend my time throwing moral rules at someone I do not know, who doesn't care and who will never read this anyway.
I better start working on myself too.....
To reassure you all, I heard that the French magazine "People" brought an article about JK spending his August holiday with friends in Sicily.  So let's hope for the wonders of the Beattles magic formula "with a little help from your friends".... |

You are so right Sunrayvibe. We all worry about his life but all we are saying here will not reach him at all. So he should handle it "with a little help of his friends" and himself. We all have our problems in life and we don't discuss it in public - everybody is responsible for his own life and should take care of it - and so is he and you're right when you say he should start with his drug problem (drugs + alcohol!!)  |
