Jamie XX is the guy from the popular 2k9 buzzband The XX who plays 'the drums', except he doesn't have a drumset and he just taps on some lil sampler thingy. I guess that is a kewl gimmick, but really worried abt him getting carpal tunnel or something. I think his best bet 2 help xx go mainstream is probably to 'start working out', 'get huge guns', and 'man up' behind a real drum set.

Anyways, the xx is 'taking some time off'/'writing their new album', and Jamie XX decided to 'go solo.' Not sure who is in2 this kind of music, but I think it is like 'dubstep' or something. A little bit too abstract 4 my entry level brain 2 vibe 2. Wish he would just stop trying to be Avey Tare/Panda Bear [via AnCo solo proj metaphor] and just focus on the xx.

No idea who the hell 'Gil Scott-Heron' is.
Not really enjoying this song.
Thought it was gonna be an xx song.
Sorry.

'stream'/'buy':

Chill vector graphics, I guess.

Do you like the song "NY is killing me" or is it 'ripping off' the concept behind 'New York I <3 u but ur bringing me down'?
Do u think this song is 'good'?
Do u 'get' dubstep?
Do u feel like jamie xx will make the XX sound 'too dubsteppy'?
Can the xx 'top' their debut album?
Should the XX add more members 2 their band?
