Album Preview: Paul Weller Recruits Noel Gallagher, Thunderstorms to Share His “22 Dreams” “You get to this stage in life where you say ‘I’ve done everything that I can do,’” says Paul Weller. As he passes the half-century mark, Weller easily could have returned to his old stomping grounds, whether it was the mod-punk of his first band the Jam or the pop leanings of the Style Council. But rather than reliving past glory, Weller spent the last year recording 22 Dreams, the most expansive and experimental album of his career. “I was conscious when I walked into the studio that I wanted to do something different. I didn’t want to make As Is Now Part 2,” Weller tells Rock Daily. “There was this mentality where it was like, ‘Let’s try anything that comes into your mind.’” Weller sequestered himself in his country studio, recruited some famous Britpop friends like Oasis‘ Noel Gallagher and Blur’s Graham Coxon and spent hours improvising with his band. The result was 22 Dreams, a genre-leapin
OMG that's amazing, seeing the flames and the smoke just, like, RIGHT THERE. yikes!! way to set the house ablaze, weller!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't just the fire, he had hurricane force winds to contend with also! Kings of Leon and all the other bands scheduled to perform canceled their shows, Paul was the last to play.
ReplyDeleteWeller came on stage and performed with his usual gusto. The fire blazed in the distance but who cared when the mod father was in full swing - superb as usual with Craddock and the boys all having a great time!!!
ReplyDeleteThe winds were pretty scary though - the rigging dancing along with the crowd obviously terrifying the promoters. Paul was taken off at end of Eton Rifles, we all waited for him to return - unfortunately not to be! Disappointing but necessary (I think). Next day rumors were rife that Noel Gallagher was waiting in the wings to do a set with Paul - what an utter bummer, how good would that have been?
Anyway, roll on November and Preston Guild Hall gig - happy days!!!
