The Jam All Mod Cons

many suggestions... Socrates

Let’s go in order because there are many suggestions that this punctual reception provokes in me. The first reflection is that my exaggerated individualism has always prevented me, even as a young man, from fully adhering to a cultural-musical movement, even when I shared its underlying assumptions. Only with the Mods and then with the Ska was I about to capitulate. The Jam, therefore, have been part of my imagination ("Quadrophenia," the film) and I fully shared Weller's evolution. We grew up together, if I can put it that way. So, I disagree with the adjective "affected" used to describe the music of the Style. Moreover, I prefer "In The City" more than this commendable album. All of Britpop, and not just that, owes a lot to The Jam, there is no doubt about that.

I will have to fill this gap: I trust El Guevo and Van Zandt as guarantors.

P.S. Next time, a few less "beautiful" and "stunning" and a bit more description wouldn't hurt.

I've always been a fan of Cope's sound since the days of "World Shut Your Mouth." Then I lost track of him a bit. I'll take note of it.

I'm biting my nails... certainly more at the thought of being in the company of Kosmo than seeing those ugly mugs of Ivic and HowieB. :-))

The album is, as Zion knows, in my 2004 playlist and I would have liked to write this review if I had more time and the "easy pen" like some of you.
Anyway, it’s important that it exists and that the judgment matches mine.

Marvin Gaye What's Going On

Zion, I know them. My encounter with Gaye dates back to just before his death, when his more mainstream single "Sexual Healing" was topping the charts. Then, shortly before or after—my memory falters—I came across him in the soundtrack of a film that marked my twenties: "The Big Chill" by Kasdan. With a big song sung by him, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," also made famous by the Creedence, the film began, and it was a true revelation. Since then, I’ve discovered some of his works in reverse. However, this one is the best for me. When I posted the review, I didn’t notice the coincidence of the dates. I thank the editor who made it possible to remember the anniversary of his death, which wasn’t among my conscious goals.
