Max Kane Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 He's in at #132 this year Hopefully it'll be a wake up call and he'll realise that the current brand of music he is pushing just isn't working - it may yet save him! However I fear it is equally likely to push him further down the commercial route in the dilluded belief that commercial pap is what punters want and that it may elevate him once again - I sincerely hope not! I think what this does show however is that it is a terminal decline and Jules is coming toward the end of a, mostly, glittering career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadbin Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 i am personally gutted that the legend has fallen. but to be out of the top 100 must be telling us something. i hope he can rise from the ashes. if only it was 1999 again!

milkybarkid Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thing is, I think he's got ready-made scapegoats this year; he didn't do near half as much spamming and twitter badgering for votes as last year. He's also off radio1 and scaling down the dj'ing a bit. There you go, mystery solved. Everything's rosy in the garden. 'Let me hear you scream!!!'

lyndon Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 It's like a sad decline of a childhood hero to me, i'd love it to be a wakeup call for him to try something else. Don't know if that will happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Thing is, I think he's got ready-made scapegoats this year; he didn't do near half as much spamming and twitter badgering for votes as last year. He's also off radio1 and scaling down the dj'ing a bit. There you go, mystery solved. This is will inevitably be Jules's reasoning behind his fall outside the top 100. He'll refuse to accept that its his music, dodgy looping/scratching and shit jingles at respectable brands (he was playing these at a Gatecrasher classics night ffs!) - and blame it on no longer being on Radio 1. Its frustrating that Jules just fails to see (or chooses to ignore) where things are going wrong. Its like when a number of us on here have commented on a bad club set that has resulted in a half empty dance floor - and then Jules has responsed with "the crowd were well up for it" - even when we know that they certainly weren't. I really do wish he'd hang up the headphones now. He's becoming a laughing stock within the scene - and those of us that remembered his once legendary club sets are quickly having those good memories being replaced with bad ones where his sets ruined a night. I predicated a few years ago that Jules would be outside the top 100 within three years due to the direction he was taking - and voila! Here we are. Even if he had still been on Radio 1, I still think he'd be outside the top 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
