Which I think bodes well for someone like... Lamb, perhaps. It reminds me of
the Portishead case. MTV was probably relieved and happy when it found
Portishead: here's that new cool trip hop thing, but hey, we can sell this!
Thanks to the face, the voice, the visual style (as seen in the videos). Now
that EBTG has made jungle a bit more ear-friendly for more people, maybe US
record companies are ready to push someone like Lamb, a jungle-based band with
a photogenic singer?
I wonder if RDJ or MikeP or any of our beloved alone-in-their-bedroom wizards
will someday do a version of the Jellybean/Madonna thing - hook up with a
rising or established star or starlette, produce massive Top 40 tracks, and
use it as a launchpad for greater recognition. Mariah Carey produced by Luke
Vibert. Toni Braxton produced by Tom Jenkinson. Oasis produced by the Chemical
Brothers. ;)

My whole thing is to take completely retarded songs and turn them into
something of my own. What can I bring to a song that's already been done well?
