Woody: ilikemusic because... it saved my life... Respect.
Estelle: ilikemusic because... It enables me to get my feelings out and it’s borderline therapy for me. Music makes me feel.
Mister Jitter Skitter: ilikemusic because... Bluespop - a chance to experience what we can't afford .. is that imposed, and abandon ourselves in the luxury of self attained clarity .. is that an aspic
Hey there a Big 209 - jitters
Sarah Christine: ilikemusic because... Music is like a puzzle. Each peice by itself is unique and looks like no other puzzle peice, but when you put it all together, you expeirience a completely different picture. It's on an almost daily basis that I find myself getting lost in my music, and I love it!
Kat Vipers: ilikemusic because... There's not many other things to like.
Josh Ritter: ilikemusic because... It’s like an envelope that I can carry around with me wherever I go and I can unfold the letter at anytime.
simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.

Brighton's Fujiya & Miyagi release their latest single Pickpocket and also are proud to announce a support slot with Jamie Lidell on the 14th December 2008 at Shepherd's Bush (more details below).
Pickpocket is the latest track to be taken from their highly acclaimed third album Lightbulbs, released in earlier this year on Full Time Hobby and also includes previously unreleased track Rot on the b-side. Built on an itchy hip-hop groove, Pickpocket is the perfect example of Fujiya & Miyagi's minimalist pop, complete with whispered vocals and understated wicka-wacka guitars.
Lightbulbs saw the band adding a drummer (Lee Adams) to expand the line-up to four. Recorded in a more deliberate big chunk than their previous albums, it's their most cohesive, accomplished collection to date. The name refers to the popular cartoon idiom of good ideas being accompanied by a lightbulb that pings on above the character's head. "Each song is like a light bulb," say the band.
Fujiya & Miyagi stay away from lyrical themes that have been done to death (topics covered on Lightbulbs involve the chess player Bobby Fischer, eccentric performer Vivian Stanshall and myriad household appliances), and Pickpocket is no exception.
Named after a fusion of a Japanese record player and the Karate Kid's mentor, Fujiya & Miyagi formed in 2000 as a duo consisting of David Best (guitars and vocals) and Steve Lewis (synths, beats, and programming), two like-minded souls who met on the five-a-side pitch. Adding bassist Matt Hainsby in 2004, they broke through with a series of EPs that were collected for 2006 album Transparent Things. The two years since then have seen Fujiya & Miyagi's cult grow, even more so over the Atlantic.
Currently on a world tour in support of Lightbulbs, including sell-out shows in London and Manchester, you can catch Fujiya & Miyagi live on these shores again on the following dates:
3rd December 2008 - Pavilion Theatre, Brighton
14th December 2008 - Shepherd's Bush, London supporting Jamie Lidell
