God Is A D.J.

Imagine a (sober) male Amy Winehouse, throw in
some Stevie Wonder and cap it off with a little Grand
Master Flash and you've got Jamie Lidell. We just went
to see him at the Highline Ballroom and we're blown
away
. There's no doubt this British import can sing,
but that barely scratches the surface of his musical
genius. Using a computer, multiple microphones and
his own voice, Lidell would create 5 part harmonies live
on stage while the band played and then sing over his
newly created samples. It was phenomenal! (click arrow above
for a few of Lidell's songs). Before the show we
stopped by Goff and Rosenthal to check out
another amazing talent-artist Scott Hunt (image above) whose
charcoal drawings are also off the charts!
