Live-in-studio versions of tracks scheduled for the new album, very Traffic-influenced:

I really like the last two songs--moving canvas and the ballad. "Testify" sounds a little too much like a pale version of Can You Heal Us Holy Man?

Couldn't rationalize spending the money on seeing this video feed, but thank you Linda for providing the audio links!

Always down for a new Paul Weller album. This one sounds promising, just like the last...four? Five? Everything he's done lately has been various degrees of excellent.
