Star in a Car:

Seems like Jamiroquai star Jay Kay has more driving experience than just the filming of the Cosmic Girl music video. TopGear, the BBC’s weekly motoring program, recently put a number of celebs in a reasonably priced Suzuki compact to see who would be the fastest around their test track. Jay Kay burned some serious rubber to obliterate everyone else’s times, and come within 2 seconds of the lap time posted by the show’s test driver, The Stig (secretly believed to be former F1 racing driver Nigel Mansell). Impressive showing.

Very impressive, certainly, but don’t you think just a little hypocritical? When you consider that Jay’s main selling point for the early period of his career was the whole “Save the Earth” message, as indicated by album titles like “Emergency on Planet Earth”, perhaps this turn-around is a little strange.

Still, I much prefer his later work. “Funk Odyssey” is easily his best album; all his previous efforts suffer from filler around some good singles.

I wonder how big Mansell is now. I know that his comeback in F1 was cancelled some years back when he couldn’t get into the test car.
