Your run-of-the-mill electronic show consists of endless permutations of the following:

• endless knob-twiddling
• head bobbing
• the same repeated loop in three different tempos
• vaguely emo haircuts
• and white people.

A Jamie Lidell electronic show, however, subverts the expected. Wait, are you creating your own beats - live - by singing into a mic and then looping it? Are you seriously expecting me to listen to your electronic recreation of a live studio band? And what are you thinking, crooning soulfully like some 21st century Otis Redding over your track?

This white boy done good, so at least he had the last item on that list covered. If you have a chance to see this guy, I highly recommend it.
