Will they get the jam or style council to play?

Of course not.

shocked it's not Robbie

― Sororah T Massacre (blueski), Monday, 21 November 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

Robbie will get his in 2009 after Simply Red in 2007 and Pet Shop Boys in 2008.

only for them to play something off CONFESSIONS OF A POP GROUP

― ESTEBAN BUTTEZ~!!, Tuesday, 22 November 2005 06:59 (twenty years ago)

Sounds good to me! All of side 1, please!

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 22 November 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

eleven months pass...

He doesn't half look like his mum, does Paul Weller.

Anyone sit through that rockumentary last night? I liked the first few minutes, but I was too tired. No doubt it will be repeated.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 6 November 2006 09:00 (nineteen years ago)

Is BBC2 digital enough for it to get a repeat?

I enjoyed the documentary, although an hour was way too short for so much material.

― Daniel Giraffe (Daniel Giraffe), Monday, 6 November 2006 10:30 (nineteen years ago)

It was so dully made tho, just plodding thru the changes one after the other, much like a modern day Paul Weller album. It was honest enough to admit his various catastrophic blunders: the 2nd Jam album; Red Wedge; Style Council's "house" period but, obviously, could not be expected to point out that his dadrock dotage is the dullest part of his career.

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Monday, 6 November 2006 10:39 (nineteen years ago)

I thougt the last two released Style Council albums were so dull.

If I'd been at that last Albert Hall gig, with the House album material, would I have been the only one there going "Yes! More!" ?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 6 November 2006 10:55 (nineteen years ago)

To be honest I've never heard a Style Council album

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Monday, 6 November 2006 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

I'm shocked by Dada's admission!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 6 November 2006 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not, it sounds like a logical move of sanity.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 6 November 2006 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

The only Style Council song I've ever heard is "My Ever Changing Moods." Maybe it was Ned referring to PW as "the Cappuccino Kid" that put me off them.

― The Redd 47 Ronin (Ken L), Monday, 6 November 2006 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

Paulo Hewitt was the Cappuccino Kid. (my mates a hardcore weller fan - honest)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 6 November 2006 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

Paolo Hewitt was the actual kid in question, I think. But since he was content to be Weller's familiar I suppose it all works.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 6 November 2006 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

which Style Council album is supposed to an under-rated House classic?

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Monday, 6 November 2006 15:46 (nineteen years ago)

The unreleased one that came out on the box set. It was going to be called A Decade Of Modernism, I think. Some of it is quite good.

The single disc edition of Weller's Hit Parade looks like a good album, I think. There are two tracks I don't know on it though, they might be shit..

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 6 November 2006 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

Does the big version of "Hit Parade" have "News of the world"?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 6 November 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, track 4:

Two discs of The Dadrock Years!

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Monday, 6 November 2006 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

Hmm, just that that was Bruce Foxton's a-side.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 6 November 2006 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

CD1 - Jam Singles
CD2 = Style Council singles
CD3 = Weller pt 1
CD4 = Weller pt 2

Um, most people interested in this would have it already!

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 6 November 2006 16:18 (nineteen years ago)

i wouldn't mind just the first two

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Monday, 6 November 2006 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

i did love Weller between '91 and '95 tho - crazy times

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Monday, 6 November 2006 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

Wild Wood was a good album.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 6 November 2006 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

portishead remix was the first thing that popped in my head on the way to work this morning

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Monday, 6 November 2006 18:36 (nineteen years ago)

I had a funny feeling you would mention that one.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 6 November 2006 19:49 (nineteen years ago)

Wild Wood was a good album.

Sort of.

More importantly, "All Mod Cons" and "Sound Affects" were both GREAT albums, and Weller made a rather major contribution on both.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 6 November 2006 22:59 (nineteen years ago)

That reminds me: I've got that Direction Reaction Creation box set- if I ever finish listening to it, maybe I'll give PW's later career a listen.

― The Redd 47 Ronin (Ken L), Monday, 6 November 2006 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

haha when geeta wz stayin w.me earlier in the year we were lookin for somewhere to eat breakfast in hackney, to suit our several needs (she is a vegetarian and i am a ponce) -- and eventually found this nice-ish place near my sister's house where we could get decent coffee and rolls: it was run by polish girls and they played p.weller non-stop ("english rose" on a SUNDAY MORNING i ask you) (geeta had been at fabric all night; i had been asleep)

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 6 November 2006 23:06 (nineteen years ago)

Did you get a freebie when you told them you once put Weller on the cover of The Wire?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 6 November 2006 23:29 (nineteen years ago)

I WAS EVIDENTLY STILL ASLEEP

― mark s (mark s), Monday, 6 November 2006 23:33 (nineteen years ago)

He put Weller on the front cover of Wire?

(bows down)

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:37 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah , I remember him years ago saying that on an ILM thread.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 7 November 2006 09:48 (nineteen years ago)

in order to save the village it became necessary to destroy it
