1. Jamie is kind of like a modern-day soul man. Imagine a mai tai made with a splash of Prince, Basement Jaxx and Otis Redding. Mmm, tasty.
2. Is one half of the well-respected techno duo Super_Collider.
3. Found out he would be supporting Beck on his summer tour during our interview.
4. Spent a year in seclusion making his own computer software because he's a huge nerd.
5. Claims to be a bona fide virgin. Don't believe it? Hear him insist it's true (repeatedly) in our interview.
