Could it be: Paul Weller and The Jam, take two?Well the cards are on the table after Paul Weller recently rekindled his friendship with Bruce Foxton, The Jam’s bassist.If it happens it would truly be one of the unlikeliest reunions in the recent music world. Another romp of one of Britain’s most loved guitar bands [...]

From Idolator: John Weller, the longtime manager of his son Paul, passed away on April 22. The Wellers were partners in music since Paul was a young boy, with father buying son his first guitar when he was 12 and financing the Jam's initial demo recordings in the mid-'70s. The Times Of London has a nice obit of Weller, who was a constant presence in his son's long career and who actually threat...

From the MySpace blog page of From the Jam "US TOUR 2009 POSTPONED It is with great regret that FTJ will have to postpone the forthcoming US tour. Due to illness of a close family member, the band have cancelled all dates until summer 2009. FTJ hope to reschedule the U.S. dates sometime in the fall." Too bad - the band really brings the songs of The Jam back to life everytime they play . "S...

Another piece of potentially pointless research to lighten up your day (or not):Results from research by the department of psychology at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh show a distinct correlation between people's personality traits and the style of music they enjoy.Click here to read the article from the Independent, UK.I wonder if university boffins who spend their time doing research like t

I was not going to post anything tonight, but this caught my eye. Anyone who loves a good feud will enjoy this tidbit I found on musicnews.comFormer Jam hero Paul Weller reportedly spat at a photo of Sting whilst back stage at a charity bash with Oasis man Noel Gallagher earlier this week. He apparently: " marched straight up to [the photo], coughed-up as much phlegm as he could muster and plan...

The jam defined a generation, along with the Clash. unfortunately, they did not get the attention that the Clash got. However some of the music they did was equally as great. While they could rock the joint, they also put out some quiet little melodies that were also worth mentioning. This is my favorite of those. Another one is English Rose. But Butterfly Collector stands as my favorite.

continuing on my MOG theme for today, here's a fun classic with lovely dark lyrics...A police car and a screaming siren -A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete -A baby wailing and stray dog howling -The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking -That's Entertainment.A smash of glass and a rumble of boots -An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth -Paint splattered walls and the cry of a ...

the Polydor compilationTHE SOUND OF THE JAMcontains a good selectionof great songs.THE JAMoverview from trouser press:How ironic that the band from the class of '77 that seemed to stand least for the tenets of punk at the outset should wind up the one that remained truest to them over the long haul. The Jam's refusal to compromise their ideals and integrity during a six-year career tends to pol...

I'm a bit late for lunch/work, so I'll make it fast: The Jam are really just great. I got into them because I was afraid the musical Anglophile at the record store would find out that I'd never listened to them. So I grabbed a used copy of Sound Affects (highly recommended) and never looked [...]~~

It's the summer of 1976 and you're an unknown trio of Mod-loving kids living about 50 miles out of London. How do you get your first gig in London? You take your cue from the manifesto Malcolm McLaren is spinning in the weekly music papers and get your own gig. So one hot Saturday morning The Jam set up on the pavement in front of a street market, ran an extension cord from the Rock On record ...

I know it's probably not funny anymore. But this is my space. On the third floor of my house that is.Our house is 97 years old. I know it doesn't look old, it looks like a squat. Anyway your looking at my room. This is a fairly kid free zone. This is where I MOG, relax, drink beer, and play guitar with my buddies. With this heatwave it has become unbearably hot. As you probably can tell I am no...

I've grown tired of all these new bands I've been listening to. I'm always searching for that sound that'll make me feel like I did when I first "Discovered" these guys. Are there recovery groups for music addicts? I hope not.
