Song / Video Jamie T : "Sticks 'N' Stones"
Posted by Dean Fawkes on Thu, May 28, 2009 at 4:54 PM
"Sheila," you're three years old now.
A toddler!
Jamie T might be the absent father from Wimbledon, but he's been spending most the time on his follow-up LP Kings & Queens, letting everyone come see one of the new kids just a few days ago.
"Sticks 'N' Stones" is more pub-rock than drum-machine. It's quite open-armed and fun, though, has a welcome air of summer, a gentle hooliganism — like The Libertines on a waterslide — and sounds so delighted with everything you want to be a part of it.
The video has smashed glass, a bunch of running, and a clown drinking beer in a lawn-chair.
The song is a lead-off to both a new EP and a whole album, the first of which has a sleeve like St. Etienne and comes out at the end of the month.
Still, we miss "Sheila".
They grow up so fast.
