Video Find: Carnation

Amazing video of Oasis, Paul Weller, Steve Craddock, Steve White and what appears to be Damon Minchella on bass performing Carnation from The Jam's 1982 album The Gift. Not sure exactly what this was done for, but it is nothing short of an amazing superstar mash-up.

The Jam: Unseen

In 1981, Rick Buckler, appointed 21-year old Neil "Twink" Tinning to become The Jam's official photographer. For two years Twink documented life with The Jam on the road, live on stage and behind-the-scenes leading up until their farewell concert in 1982 at the Brighton Centre.

Twenty selected photographs from the forthcoming photographic book "The Jam Unseen" are on sale for the first time as a series of limited edition prints at London's The Movie Poster Art Gallery. They include rare never-before-seen photographs of the original Jam line-up: Bruce Foxton (bass, vocals), Paul Weller (vocals, guitar) and Rick Buckler (drums).

One of the highlights is a triptych of photos of each member of The Jam running and dancing on the spot - arguably superior unseen outtakes from the session that produced the cover of The Jam's final 1982 studio album "The Gift". Now, for the first time, fans and collectors alike will be able to buy all three classic images as they were originally photographed before the final album artwork was selected.

You can view them all and/or purchase them here.

Santogold Covers The Jam's Pretty Green

I'm sure most people in the hip current-day pop world already know this, but this was news to me. I've noticed a trend in music recently, regardless of the genre to give tributes (or insults) to older English tracks. Mark Ronson who was part of this Jam track with Santogold, also did the unforgivable with his version of The Smiths' Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before. Lethal Bizzle did a version of The Ruts' song Babylon's Burning, called Babylon's Burning the Ghetto. Either way, I think its both interesting and bad. Music has seem to hit a crossroads where different music is meshing like it hasn't in quite some time. This is a great thing for people that continue the exploration of music, but bad for the ears from where it stops.

To satisfy any curiosity...get a listen, you can check Santogold's version of The Jam's Pretty Green (below).

Video Find: The Jam-Move On Up (Live Performance)

Speaking of covers, I think this is one of the best covers ever. I came across this video some time ago. Its taken from a TV show in Granada from 1982, and shows The Jam belting out this Curtis Mayfield song with perfection. This illustrates the preface for Weller's next step to The Style Council. His progression was completely logical.
