Gems From My Collection - Paul Weller from Debut to Stanley Road

Was having a blast this morning watching some Paul Weller vids on You Tube and thought it was about time I did a blog focusing on the man himself. I am a huge fan of The Jam and like many folks was disappointed when they split. When he put together the Style Council I thought the first couple of sings were top notch but they were not really my cup of tea the longer they progressed. The single he released under the banner of The Paul Weller Movement I thought was much better.

Into Tomorrow (On Later with Jools Holland)

A year and a half on from that Weller unvieled himself as a Solo Artist with a great wee single 'Uh Huh Oh Yeah'

Uh Huh Oh Yeah (Live In Milan)


Whilst his debut solo album didn't thrill me that much there were a couple of tunes on it that I love.

Bitterness Rising (from 'Paul Weller')


His 2nd album 'Wild Wood' I actually thought was much better.

Sunflower (Later with Jools Holland)



Wild Wood (Live)



The Weaver (Promo Video)


'Stanley Road' album though was the one that really said that Weller was back to his best.

There are so many great tracks on the album that I hardly know where to start...oh will just do the whole album!

The B52's Playlist: - Whackiness at its best.

One of the bands that I have loved over the years has been The B-52's. They have put out so many great tunes that it seemed good to bring a bunch of them together for a playlist that smacks of whackiness. The Photos are mine, I took them at the Glasgow show in 2008.
