Hit Parade.
I am ADDICTED to this thing.
I was too young to have gotten into The Jam or Style Council in their day, so my first exposure to Weller was his early 90s stuff which sounded a bit too Adult Contmeporary for my tastes.
I had no idea half these songs Id been hearing for years were his.
This thing is tops. Recommended even if youve never heard any of his stuff before.
How rad is this new live Paul Weller record?

'Catch-Flame'? I haven't heard it yet. The previous live acoustic one from 2001 called
'Days of Speed' is really good too.
The last thing I got was 'Illumination' and that one is a turkey. Don't bother.

Were you asking if it was "Catch Flame"?
Naw, this one is the new one: "Hit Parade'

'Days of Speed' is really good too.

Buddy & Julie Miller - Written in Chalk wow, first listen, but great great record! 9.3/10
Justin Townes Earle - Midnight at the Moviessurprisingly great, never picked up his past releases, but this one's knocking my socks off right away, 8.7/10
M. Ward - Hold Time 8.0/10
Neko Case -Middle Cyclone her best I've heard is my initial impression, but too soon to rate, haven't had a really good listen yet 7.8/10

This isnt live?
I thought he sounded too good.
I thought it was just one of those ones where they prune out the audience noise.
Im retarded.
Its still really good tho
