I agree totally with both of you Weller's music with or without The Jam should be heard by the uninformed and or uninitiated. The tracks you both mention are by far some my favorite music. And if I may be so bold to suggest a couple of artists making some headway up here in The Great White North first of a group called "The Sadies" two brothers share lead vocal and guitar work. The sound really is unique. For any of you familiar with Blue Rodeo, "The Sadies" draw from a similar country/rock vein but throw in Sergio Leones' sountrack work and the pain of Hank Williams and now you've got an idea. Second, is Sam Roberts. A mildly retro rocker but on his 6 song ep titled "The Inhuman Condition" shows great diversity and his live show last night in Vancouver was the last of 3 sold out gigs at one of our best rock venues. By all means worth the bags under these eyes.
