"Gary Jules"

"Well wouldya look at that!"

Gary Jules has gone and released another album, Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets. He hasn't released an album for aaaages! Now he knows his Mad World is doing well, suppose he might as well carry on!
Hopefully this one will do good, his other album, Greeting's From The Side wasn't that good.

Did many people even hear of Gary Jules before they watched Donnie Darko?! Ahhh..
Released 19th January if anyone is interested.

i hadn't heard of gary jules before donnie darko came out and mad world was played on Xfm like a million times, still loved the song when i first heard it, now it a bit boring, still shud do well in x-mas charts.

It's nice that Mad World is doing so well, but why did it have to be put on one of those gay ass compilation CD's?

Why?

Mad World is Michael Andrews FEATURING Gary Jules, isn't it?

Mad World is a great song, but I don't think you could have a more depressing Christmas Number 1.

The Darkness should be at the top of the charts, that's what I say...

Zoe Ball plays it every five minutes. It's a good song, I'm not bored with it, but it won't be long before I am, with her playing it so often. Then again, she hardly ever turns up to work. Richard Bacon or that Lauren Laverne (or whatever she's called) over Zoe any day.

I was wrong.. I had a little preview of it and it's not so bad. Will buy this next year! He's a little 'countryish' on this album though :s

I've got Either/Or, which is, IMHO, his best album. Ballad of Big Nothing and Angeles are the two best tracks. And Rose Parade.

I'm picky with music - as soon as I know half the country is listening to something, I go off it. There's something good about knowing you are one of a minority that has enjoyed a certain piece of music.

Bohemian Like You is a good example, that tune was out for years, and was a great track, then vodafone got hold of it, played it to death, and it lost its appeal.

Similarly, I tend to listen to music that has gone 'out of fashion', i.e. I listen to music a few years old, early 90s indie and dance is my thang, with the odd exception.

and that's it
