Jamie Lidell and Mates of State on KEXP Today

The one thing everyone can agree on about today is that it really sucks being back at the office. Those of us blessed with jobs that allow us to furtively eat up our employer’s broadband with Internet radio may have an easier time than others today, thanks to KEXP.org.

Today at 12 p.m. Central on the Seattle station, British soul prodigy Jamie Lidell drops by to render a live performance for your holiday-weekend-hungover ear cells. Then, stay tuned, because at 2 p.m., the Mates of State do the same. (Chin Chin and the Long Blondes each drop by later in the week.)

Don’t think we’ve shared any Jamie with y’all yet, so here’s track two from the clarion-voiced Motown-admirer’s sweet ‘n solid new one, Jim:
