I have little interest in the upcoming Basement Jaxx. I have never liked dance that has too many rock(s) attached to it. It conjures up drunken blokes on the dance floor/ frat party. Prodigy - with its faux punk (Hello Kitty thrown in a Hard Candy/Gothic mixer) - and Chemical Bros belong to the same group. It's closer to Oasis than Kool Keith in mindset. Or maybe I have seen one too many bollox reports about Oasis and/or not enough Kool Keith stories. So I can pretend that the latter is throws off his persona after he's done his *shift*. But I still downloaded it. And I will - oh yeh prejudiced expectations - dislike it despite the northern soul/punk and electro influences.
