DUDE, FIRE YOUR BARBER

My interest in Paul Weller made it halfway through side two of the Jam's second album. But I know Weller freaks, and how their appetite can be insatiable; and like anyone who really likes a particular artist, how tough it is for them to be objective. One night a few years ago, I spent the better part of the evening chewing the fat with a buddy of mine about the perils of coddling artists that you've liked for a long time; how hard it becomes to call a spade a spade. It's been a while since we've hung out, so I'm not sure if this is even something that he would be into, but I'm posting this for him, because he's the first person I thought of. Despite our differences in taste (the night we met, it was an extended Bruce Springsteen debate), we share a lot of common ground.

Here's the stuff Weller did at a live KCRW session. The full download link has an interview as well as artwork.
