Universal is to promote the new record from Jamie Cullum by sending free copies out to head girls in schools across the country, reports ITV.

Catching Tales will be sent to the top 430 all-girl schools in Britain. As well as the record, head girls will receive stickers and posters, presumably to give out to other pupils.

The general manager of Universal Classics and Jazz, Dickon Stainer, said: "We identified that a large audience of obviously sophisticated middle-class teenage girls had begun attending Jamie's shows.

"There was a whole coachload wearing Saffron Walden Hockey Club shirts at one concert and that gave us the idea to send copies of his new record exclusively to head girls."

The pressure's on Cullum, as his debut Twentysomething shifted a whopping 2.5 million copies. To twats that don't deserve to be alive, obviously.

'To twats that don't deserve to be alive, obviously.'

Spot on. This troll-faced fucker pisses me off more than anybody else in the music world.

Re: Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

Gotta love the unbiased reporting on DiS.

a 'TWAT' indeed. see my scrawlings on 2 of his underground posters...yes. revenge

Re: Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

did you write the "i am a bad human being" thing?! that was the highlight of my night once. i have a photo of it and everything.

Re: Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

I've seen that... but I forget WHERE.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

Jamie Cullum has the enviable position of first on the list of "guys I'd like to throttle" beating such luminaries as Robbie Savage and Ronan Keating.


Re: Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

Be honest. Is the General Manager of Universal Classics and Jazz called Dickon Stainer?

Re: Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

A quick google-age tells me you're right. Apologies for the cynicism, but after the funny real names thread today it was difficult to believe.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

what makes him even more of a cunt is that he got free tickets for the tom waits gig at hammersmith and was sat there looking all smug and cunty throughout the whole thing. deserves instant death

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

my mum likes Jamie Cullum.

Users who like Jamie Cullum also like: Katie Melua, Norah Jones, Kenny G, Mariah Carey, Amy Winehouse, and the sound of rusty nails being dragged across a blackboard whilst in the nearby distance a cat is sodomised with a 14 inch diameter strap on cock. In essex.

Re: Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

Must... suppress... jazz... snob... invective...

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

"Obviously sophisticated middle class teenage girls". Ha ha fucking ha. Is he really called Dickon Stainer? I think he needs prank calling.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

My auntie got the Jamie Cullum album for christmas last year. I shuddered as it was put on the stereo. That was one christmas I would rather forget.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

you gotta hand it to The marketing Man. that is very clever.

"There was a whole coachload wearing Saffron Walden Hockey Club shirts at one concert and that gave us the idea to send copies of his new record exclusively to head girls."

I used to live in saffron walden, can't say it was:

"obviously sophisticated middle-class"

Or that the Hockey Club had anything to do with the education sector. It was however the most boring and soul draining place so im sure Jamie Cuntum would be right at home there.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

The reason he had " whole coachload wearing Saffron Walden Hockey Club shirts at one concert " was because he played at Audley End house, which, funnily enough, is IN Saffron Walden.
It's not like they traveled far.

..and it isn't that bad here.

Why isn't there a law to stop this from happening?

Re: Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

i can't believe there isn't a law aganist it. and yet there's laws to stop me from lending you, your brother, anyone a cd. i propose a new book of law:

~The New Book of Law~

1. Don't be a dick. Seriously.

Encompasses EVERYTHING.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

because it's fucking surreal and gives us an easy target when our sniper rifles arrive.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

It'll be classed as paedophilia soon. Hopefully.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

If The Calling are a four-piece, that makes Jamie Cullum number 5 on my hit list.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

In the midst of all this, overblown if somewhat justified outpooring of hate, may I point out that twentysomething wasn't his debut album?

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

This story's amazing, it's like charity for rich people.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

Now those girls WITH money don't have to buy the CD anymore!! Let the girls in poorer neighbourhoods buy the CD. Oh wait a sec.....they don't have any money!!1!1one!!

Okay okay, I will admit one thing: "Greatest Mistake" on the Handsome Boy Modelling School album last year was one of the best songs on that album, and Jamie Cullum was one of the two singers of that song (John Oates) being the other.

Re: Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

the best song was the outro in my book... It's the only time I ever chuckle on the tube.


Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

OMG how can you not like Jamie Cullum? Have you not even heard his version of 'Everlasting love'? It was like sooooo much better than the cast of Casualty's version. No joke.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

'Obviously sophisticated middle class teenage girls'. Good to see that aswell as being general manager of Universal he also does comedy on the side.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

Can anyone say "get a life"?

Some of you have serious anger issues you need to address. Perhaps you should get some counciling to find out whats really wrong in your sorry excuses for lives instead of slagging off musicians you obviously know nothing about.

I recently left one such of these 400 girls' school things.

I even applied to be head girl but didn't get it because of my 'controversial politics'. And big gob. Hear my bile:

THIS IS FUCKING DISGUSTING. THIS MAKES ME FEEL PHYSICALLY SICK TO MY STOMACH. It really does. This must surely be the most cynical marketing ploy in the entire history of greedy-twattery.

What really gets me is how sanitised and pedestrian C****m and his pissy excuse for music are. There is not even the merest pretence of new innovation or imagination. It is vanilla-flavoured Volvo-music and it angers me that already [major label] record companies are targeting specific consumer groups (especially the young! For fuck's sake!) with this regurgitated wank and conditioning them to be docile, equally unimaginative consumers.

For pity's sake BRING BACK HANGING! Just this once!


Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

Fuck off jojojoke.

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

'Anger problems' usually take the form of feeling unable to express anger and bottling it up, not being jusifiably outraged at the cynicism and shamelessness of record companies. Fucker.

I hate Jamie Cullum so much I wrote a song about it. Download 'The Jamie Cullum Blues' for free at www.fymk.co.uk
His album went straight in at No.4 in the charts, what is wrong with the world?

Re: Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

Heard it on radio 6, about time cullum got some stick! Bring me some more!

Head girls heart jazz: Cullum goes to school

Callum is a joke, James Blunt is better than this weed.

He seems like a spoilt rich brat.
