前段时间上乐队的官方网站惊闻乐队灵魂人物 - 主音 Tim Booth 宣布在结束今年冬季的
巡演后他就将离开 James ... 唉！！！！每次都是在我对乐队有所了解或者开始
沉入的时候，要么就是乐队要解散，要么就是灵魂人物要离开。
这样导致了一个结果就是义无反顾地收集该乐队的有限资料和专辑。。。
ps:附上James的官方网站以及Tim的退队声明(英文原版，权当锻炼英语阅读能力^_^)

Tim's Statement Regarding His Departure From James
Dear friends,
After much deliberation I have decided it's time for me to leave JAMES. When
we started the band we always said we'd give it a year and see how it went. If
you had told me we'd last nearly 20 years I'd have asked you what drugs you
were on. I am leaving on a high. The tour is selling well and will be a
great farewell party. For the last two years we have been getting on better
with each other than ever before. We have made a C.D that I believe to be
our best since Laid; yes I have heard that reviews state otherwise but by
not reading them I keep myself in a blissful bubble of ignorance. Although
some of the Summer gigs were a bit hit and miss the last gig we did, in Athens
was one of the best we have ever done.
So why am I leaving? Well because I want to stop while we are on top. To leave
great memories knowing that I feel proud of just about everything we have
done. And I am leaving because it feels like THE RIGHT TIME. This is an
intuitive decision enabling me to let go of a huge commitment and make space
for something new to come in. I am sure the press will try and find all
kinds of smaller reasons and many of them may be factually true. But this is
the greater truth.
I am mid-way through a screen play - which may just be for an audience of one.
I am looking forward to teaching creativity workshops, to act and create some
new music. If you want to keep in touch, my own web-site should be running by
December at timbooth.net.
I don't know what the rest of the guys are going to do but I want to thank
them for an amazing ride and for taking my departure so well. For those of you
who hate award acceptance thank you's turn away now. I want to thank all
the musicians who have ever played in James throughout our various
incarnations. Also massive thanks to Peter Rudge, Brian Eno, Traci, Geoff,
Simon, Louise, Laurie, Nicola, Neil, Richard, Marsha, Martine, Michael, Joyce,
Martin, Angelo and other allies too numerous to mention or remember. I've
also got to thank my own personal crew of Kate, Ben, Mepps and Avril.
And finally you. The quality of your listening has enabled us to produce
quality. Your faith in us has lifted us to higher levels. It seems like you
have managed to always see us through the smokescreen of hipness and cool that
the music industry is drowning in. Thank you for listening. Much love.
Tim
【 在 eeric (Common People) 的大作中提到: 】
: 英国的清新派吉他乐队为数不少，但他们的下场大多是让人记不住，作为这一派别的代表
: 乐队之一的 James 乐队却能够独树一帜，让人过耳难忘，这与乐队流之不尽的创作源泉
: 和敢于冒险的精神是分不开的。James 成立初期因为与 Smith 乐队音乐风格相近而被媒
: 体比作又一支 Smith 乐队，不过乐队自己也承认是 Morrissey 的歌迷，但 James 的音
: 乐比 Smith 来得明亮，洋溢着年轻人乐观、向上的精神，而那把清亮的吉他更是让人醒
: 神不少，1992年后，乐队与大名鼎鼎的制作人 Brian Eno 合作，音乐中加入大量实验的
: 因素，却更受欢迎。
: 乐队灵魂人物是 Tim Booth（vocals），一个有着一个受鄙的青春期，被音乐拯救的男孩
