Neither the 49:00 nor the 5:05 are available for download from either site. It looks like they’ve pulled the plug. That’s a bummer for those that missed the boat.

If you want your other 5:05, it’s available now at Tunecore: http://studio.tunecore.com/store/product/47

Now try to find the other 43:55. Vanished!

I have a feeling Paul came up with the title first and just slightly overestimated. Also (and I could be reading way too much into this) Paul will turn 49 in December.

Phew! *wipes brow* I thought maybe the Tunecore link was broken or fake or something. So, the 49:00 is a joke just like Paul Weller’s 22 Dreams only containing 21 songs? The PWs of this world all are suckers for a pun, it seems to me. *heehee*

So I downloaded this from the “international” site and it’s not 49:00 mins but only 43:55. Does anybody else have that problem?!?!!!? I like what I hear by the way … :o)

Thank god I only had to wait one day! Jodi kindly emailed me with the alternate link this morning (I’m in Australia), and I’ve been listening to it ever since. I’m in love with the hodge-podge mixtape style of this, something so wildly distracting I guess this is the only way he could have put it out. I also have done the nerdy thing and split the tracks myself, great to hear Everyone’s Stupid made the cut. Devil Raised A Good Boy (if that’s what it’s called) features one of P’s nastiest guitar sounds since ’84 if I do say so….I’m sure I’ll have plenty more to say once I’ve slept on it and given it a few more listens tomorrow….but I don’t wanna sleep now!

By the way what other covers are in there aside from Hello Goodbye, Stupid Girl, Born To Be Wild, I’m Eighteen, Rocket Man and of course I Think I Love You?

By the way Paul’s beautifully sloppy drumming is so great to hear again.

I’m so sleepy but delirious with joy….

This article explains the financial side of distributing music through Tunecore:

Apparently, by making it one long track, he only had one small fee to pay because he could sell it as a single song, as opposed to several tracks in album format, where he would have to pay a fee per song.
Either PW is a marketing genius, or employs one.
