30 Years Old. What an album… What a cover. What a set of great songs.
I had big ideas of doing a big special episode for this with all the key players but just couldn’t get it sorted. One for 35 or 40 years… Still waiting news on that reissue as revealed at the Woking event.

This is stunning. Amazing to hear the songs from Fat Pop, On Sunset and True Meanings mixed with some surprises from deeper into the back catalogue. The orchestra sound stunning. Paul and Steve on fire.

Gosh. 27 years old today. Loved it from the moment I first heard it. Packed full of cracking songs. Great cover - band on fire - amazing live too.
I interviewed the guy who was then MD of Island on Friday for my upcoming book… the story behind the missed number one and more…
Incredible to think that 30 years ago today - I was rushing down to the local Our Price to get this one on CD. Played it non-stop. My god - what a remarkable album. I still listen to this loads now. Every single track is an absolute joy.

Blown away that this lands tomorrow…
I imagine how I’m feeling right now is similar to how Paul and the team feel the night before an album release. Excitement. Nerves. Anxiety. Elation.
Three years after the journey began, we're delighted to say that Paul will be joining Dan for the 180th and final episode of 'Desperately Seeking Paul'
Listen in from 19 December 2023:
Well done and thank you Dan 👏
Quiet night… everyone has gone to bed early… so headphones on… and this one… it’s an astonishingly good album. A real favourite of mine. Right up there with his very best for me.
I don’t have the words to explain what this means to me, seeing this out in the world. I hope you enjoy our chat. What a real honour for me to be involved in any of this. Mind blowing really.
This time next week, '66' will be out in the world...

The podcast has shot to the top of the music podcast charts this evening. Ahead of all those big budget BBC Sounds, Rockonteurs, Zane Lowe, Joe Budden, The Beatles, Tim’s Listening Party. The lot… utterly bonkers. THANK YOU!
We’re top 5 across the planet - Oz, USA, Japan!
45 YEARS AGO TODAY
Can only imagine how special it would have been getting this one on the day of release…
If you’re a fan of The Jam and haven’t yet checked out my podcast - head to
The next 4 / 5 weeks is going to be crazy but if you’re a Paul Weller fan, you’re in for plenty of special treats. One of which I got to experience today, in person… Can’t quite believe this ride either tbh…
“Alright Dan, how’s it going?” (Big hug)
30 Years Old Today… 🌻🎶 This song had me hooked from the incredible guitar opening - its captivating melody and heartfelt lyrics. It's like a warm embrace on a sunny day. ☀️✨ Addictively good, it never fails to brighten my mood! 🌼

RIP Shane MacGowan.
We’d actually talked about him coming on the podcast to tell his stories on The Jam etc but it wasn’t to be with illness sadly. That would have been great. A sad loss. Love to his friends and family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO NICKY WELLER !
@WellerNicky
A wonderful podcast guest and a lovely human being. Nicky has always been hugely supportive of this podcast project - so generous with her time and endorsement. Have a lovely day NW….
Just editing next week’s podcast with

@drummerwhitey
- Incredible!.
I watched the whole film again last week - so so so good.
This was my 1st The Jam album. Probably tape.
Aged 16.
What an introduction.
(But also missing some absolute bangers!)
What was your first intro to the band ?
If you’re a fan I’ve got some amazing stuff on the way on the podcast too. Bill Smith, Martyn Goddard, Rick Buckler!!!
More than a little excited that Mick Talbot from The Style Council is going to join me on the podcast very soon.
What would you like me to ask him?

What the actual f@
@k
- this is the price of a Madonna ticket in the gods at O2…
£817.75 - bumps up to £820 at checkout too. Who is buying tickets at these prices? And why is a multi-millionaire pop star charging those ridiculous prices. An utter disgrace.

“Try everything. Try whatever you’ve got in your head. Some of it's successful, some of it not. I had the opportunity to do that. And through those things, you find yourself as well I think, sometimes if you're lucky.“ HAPPY 40th CAFE BLEU.
45 Years Old… The most popular answer to “you’re allowed one Paul Weller song…” from my podcast guests. What are your memories of first hearing this one?
#thejam
A bit underrated in our podcast conversations so far. Some interesting observations in our next episode. What are your thoughts?
White Sky, Going My Way, I’m Where I Should Be… incredible IMO.
Maybe it’s got a bit lost given how outstanding the past 3 studio albums have been…
Studio 150 comes of age.
18 years old today.
I have to say that I really like this album. Still listen to it quite a bit. Some terrific covers - Only Be Sure, Birds, The Bottle - all amazing.
NEW PODCAST Mick Talbot
80 minutes with the legend

I made a playlist of songs from the first night Weller 2021 tour set list if anyone fancies a listen…
Interesting / lovely to have a big Stanley Road section in there…
Haven’t managed to get a good photo without the shadows but thought you might like this quilt. My aunt made it for me donkeys years ago.
Can’t believe that album is 25 years old today.

Written there in steam”
