2010-2011 Morning Beats Week 31 Tuesday

Today we have a treat. The wonderful track Back In The Game from none other than that creative vicenarian known simply as Jamie T. Originally off of his Betty and Selfish Sons EP - which by the way is selling for about 75 British Pounds in CD or Vinyl ONLY - today’s version is off of his debut album Panic Prevention.

The track help capitulate him to the forefront of the Brit music scene at the tender age of 19, earning him a best solo artist win from the 2007 Shockwave NME Awards - knocking off Thom Yorke and Jarvis Cocker. Anyway, whatevs. The track is dope. A bit acoustic-E, part screamy-emo, partly inaudible, but always enjoyable. Plus who doesn’t like accents? Oh, and I love the lyrics and especially the cadence (aka flow in hip-hop speak) with which he delivers his lyrics. Try and follow along…

Enjoy!

quotables:

(entire song)

Take your brother down to the sea,
Have a two’s on a cigarette.
Young sons mozy it happily
Learn facts on the soviet
A crowded room that fits just three,
takes four do you connect?
All this shit means fuck all to me,
Long livers in the subsect.

So crazy Billy Jay Jones, he robs banks just for the shits
Man alone giggling so stoned,pick up the phone
‘Cause that money I lent you said was just a loan
You’re danger prone,
with too much gel and a whiff of dad’s cologne
Leave me alone,
‘Cause now you come down and you just go and lower the tone

And after about ten damn minutes, he was back in the game.
Thought he was done man, thought he was finished,
But he’s back up again
And after about ten damn minutes, he was back in the game.
Thought he was done man, thought he was finished,
But he’s back up again.

A tainted brain of intoxication purple heart smart ass
Got on the transistor, said that you missed her,
Looking for selectors and found no one better than you.
With bother boy blues,Pick up the old
tick up the avenues.
And talk like you do what you do,
Kicking up time.‘Cause now you come down and it’s for who the bell tolls

And after about ten damn minutes, he was back in the game.
Thought he was done man, thought he was finished,
But he’s back up again
And after about ten damn minutes, he was back in the game.
Thought he was done man, thought he was finished,
But he’s back up again.

Happy Tuesday,
