Despite his genesis as a angry young mod, and evolution as a songwriter disposed to political tirades, Weller appears to have no loyalty to external constructions of himself, or his songwriting. That is to say, Paul Weller makes the music Paul Weller wants to make, and fuck you if you’re... Read More

1 Comments. 2,733 Views. Posted 29 Jan 2011 @ 12:00pm.

But it was The Jam... Read More
