Jamie Lidell - Bluebird Review (June 2008):  You know how you hear a buzz about an act being incredible live, but you just can't quite believe they can live up to the hype, but then you see them and they not only live up to it, they blow it out of the water and you immediately go out and start proselytizing about how great they are yourself? Yeah, that's me and Jamie Lidell. I really like Lidell's recorded work, but what I saw here was among my top shows ever. He turned everything up to eleven, set it on fire and blew it the fuck up, along with my mind. Next time he comes to town, just go. You can thank me later. -- Cory Casciato

Where will you be in May 2009? Looking ahead to a rainy summer, wondering which UK festival might skirt the downpours and actually deliver the magic and musics? Or will you be joining me and a sweet crew as we live it up on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast staying at a sleek 5 star hotel looking forward to a week of guaranteed blissed out good times?  hmmm... tough one
