mis-take?

What on earth are mis-teeq doing on Later With Jools Holland…? (For those not acquainted with Jools, it’s a show where musical people from all over play live in a mystical circular studio with celeb audience - cameras in the centre with audience and acts on the outer perimeter.)

So here they are *right now* doing some next-two-step-choone, but they’ve got it choreographed (though luckily they’re not miming). What has Later become, Top Of The Pops for f**k’s sake?

Variety is indeed the spice of life but Jools is revered, it’s a music show in it’s purest form, people playing songs live and enjoying it. Not trying to shift their latest bandwagon-jumping, generic chart record. A while ago they had So Solid Crew with most of them just mugging the cameraman and only three of the assembled masses actually doing anything musical.

Still at least they’ve got The Hives on as well…

2. I saw Mis-Teeq were on Later this week and deliberately didn’t watch it because I knew it would make me angry…

4. Ah yes. The Hives.

   Who, whilst having some great late-70s-derivative punk songs, and rocking quite a bit…

   …are a manufactured band.

   They’re like Steps with talent. That’s all.

   NOT the best comparison to say what should and shouldn’t be on Jools… though you’re right about Misteeq…
