Hello JAMIROQUAI Club Members,
Here's the latest:
1# Some old interviews from 1996, the time when Travelling Without
Moving was about to be released, have recently been put online at
Toazted.com (LINK:
http://tinyurl.com/23ypng ). The interviews were
recorded by Dutch broadcasting company AVRO and can be found at the
Toazted.com interview archive.
The interviews are interesting and talk about the recording
process for the album, touring around the world and aliens!

2# In February of this year Amerian Idol television show contestant
Blake Lewis sung Virtual Insanity. Then in May, Canned Heat was one
of the tracks featured by the house band on Dancing With The Stars.
Now on FOX TV show So You Think You Can Dance, contestant Hok
danced to Black Devil Car (Watch a video clip of this here:
http://tinyurl.com/yq3had ). The routine wasn't good enough to keep
him in the competition, but it is interesting to see Jamiroquai tracks
being used on TV shows, especially in countries where the band are not
as popular.

3# eBay always has a large number of Jamiroquai items listed but

There you go, all the news for now! The Fall is slowly creeping
towards us, so some Jamiroquai news pertaining to the new
album/impending Montreux DVD release SHOULD be coming out soon. I
also did message Jamiroquai Keyboardist Matt Johnson on MySpace the
other and asked him how the Chillington Studio Renovations were going,
he comically replied, "Just a lick of paint and a shuffle around!"
See you soon with more news! Cheers!
