You can count on Mojo and Paul Weller to compile a disc every couple of years. And this is the offering from 2012. Highlights (for me, at least) are Weller's cover of Nick Drake's "River Man", a live recording of "Love Is A Losing Game", and a program led off and titled by Broadcast, the beloved pop experimenters from Birmingham.
This came on in the car while the missus and I drove into Seattle to see Baltimore hardcore luminaries End It a couple of weeks ago. She's never rarely boggled by what I play in the car; 15 years and numerous free jazz, grindcore, and K-pop records on, she's heard just about all of it. But to hear Joanna Newsom, Tame Impala, and Joan As Police Woman in quick succession had her asking if I was ok. I was just following what Mr. Weller put together for me, was my response.
