Destroying Something Beautiful on new compilation.
(devamı)
Jamie was born in an ambulance as fireworks went off on the 5th of November 1984.
16 years later, at the beginning of 2001, he started recording music under the name Destroying Something Beautiful..
I put the first sentence because it sounded good.
Jamie lives in Essex and currently works at Blockbuster to make ends meet. Which is more boring than anything ever.
He records & releases music at the same time and when he gets his act together, also plays some gigs (usually in the Cambridge area).
He thinks he tries to do a lot of what he loves (music), but his little sister tells him he is going nowhere and no one buys his CDs and he takes up too much room and his stuff is all over the house and he should get a f-cking life.
In 2003, Jamie met a scarily like-minded friend at music college called James who quickly became his best friend. With a mutual love of do-it-yourself recordings and other such things, the duo began recording under the moniker Since I Was A Little Girl.
First they had a song on the transatlantic release I'm With Cupid, which was an indie Valentines Day compilation released in the UK and the USA.
Then they released a 5 track EP in November 2003 and followed it up with an album in 2004:
(check the Drowned In Sound review out here: http://www.drownedinsound.com/articles/10709.html). Released on the ultra-hip indie label Where It's At Is Where You Are. (Purveyor of many musically gifted people such as Psapp, Weevil and Actionbiker)
Sadly, tragedy struck before the first EP was even released.
Jamie and James were both passengers in a car which was involved in a terrible car accident in the summer of 2003. Jamie suffered broken ribs and a collapsed lung and James passed away in hospital shortly afterwards.
The label still released everything planned which got lovely reviews from everyone who heard or bought it. Sadly, the obvious impossibility of gigging meant the Since I Was A Little Girl name couldn't get around and the album seems set to drift off into obscurity (hopefully to be resurrected and re-released some day in the future)
Since then, other than recording his own music, Jamie has recorded with two friends under the name Lostboy. They make ambient/beathop/English/pianocore/guitarlaced/hiphop with Jamie on guitars, bass, keys, whatever else comes along. Luke on piano and keyboards ..and Gozz on the mic, loops & samples.
An EP was released in May 2005 on Where It's At Is Where You Are.
Jamie also does all the artwork for the releases on his computer at home.
He is also currently in a band called Emma Frost with two of his closest friends. They make beautiful post-rock music and have the best rehearsals ever. Their first gig was terrible, but the next ones will hopefully be much better, because they are actually pretty good.
Jamie is also the creator of DIY independent record label named Red Letter Day and has released the debut EP of the incredible and amazing Bobby Baby from Malmo, Sweden (http://www.bobbybaby.net) in the month of June in 2006
..and let's not forget the wonderful Last Dinosaur, which was born early 2007 by Jamie and his musical life partner and very tall friend Luke Hayden. It's beautiful. Check it out. Seriously.
He also plans to release a Destroying Something Beautiful CD at some point.
Destroying Something Beautiful is songs about friends and life and parents splitting up and being happy and being sad and losing people and being miserable at Blockbuster and not understanding anything and breathing and running and loving and hating sometimes and having a fat cat that lies on her back and licks her tummy and staying up late recording in the TV room and late nights in Cambridge with friends and driving home early in the morning. With human things like mistakes, and background hiss, and people interrupting songs, and coughs and sneezes and aeroplanes going over head..
It's a story.. but it's not really.
It's real life but it's more interesting sometimes.
It's music that's not about being better than other people or sounding like other people, just about being yourself.
Because that's all anyone knows how to be.
Short Version: Jamie, 21, records songs in bedroom in Essex.

Description
The author was inspired by observing butterflies to develop a system of Tai Chi that could be performed in a limited space and within a relatively short time. He designed Tai Chi movements that naturally enhance the Qi flow in the order directed by Chinese medicine and whilst it can be used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, its real power is in preventing illness. Succinct and effective the reader can learn this form of Tai Chi within a day and can be performed anywhere -no matter how little space available.
