Over the period of the next four years he recorded the most ORIGINAL album of all time, using only his trusty stick axe and pots and pans for percussion.

Wouldn't recording an album be too mainstream?

There is a theory that certain bands excists that are so obscure even james doesn't know about them.
There hasn't been found any evidence yet, so for now it's just a theorie.

You will never know or understand how unmainstream James is until you meet him.

James has a MySpace Music page, but never accepts any friend requests. Being popular is good and all, but having no fans is so much more obscure.

James doesn't listen to the obscure CDs he buys. He just stares at them until he decides how much better than Genesis it is.

James once thought about getting an album from an obscure band, but decided not to because even that would make them too popular for James to like. Thus is the paradox of James' musical taste.
