Love that analogy! It was definitely a 180 sound-wise.

I downloaded Michael Gurley’s Ultrasound today. I have a signed copy. He asked me today if I listened to it and I said no. He signed it! But love that I waited and downloaded from his website michaelgurletmusic.com

I never got into these guys. A song here or there, but after reading about the angry lyrics, The Style Council has moved up on my listen-to list. Thanks, Kevin!

Loved this album when it came out. As a huge Jam fan, I naturally wanted to hear Weller’s new work and boy was I surprised with Cafe Bleu (the first one out that I could find)! I quickly warmed up to the new Jazz/R&B groove on that album. “Internationalists” came out shortly later and I was completely blown away by the juxtaposition of the biting lyrics and smooth music! The Lodgers, my favorite track, personifies that mood completely!

It really is quite a mashup of lyrics & music, isn't it? More than once, I've caught myself happily singing along only to realize that they're pretty serious lyrics. Maybe that's what Weller wanted all along?
