Hi all,
Go to www.paulweller.com, and then to audio, and you can hear the song. How fabulous that new people are being exposed to the man's music!


Well I don't know how the rest of you fared but that for me was a great exercise in frustration
I realise that it might just be me or more likely both computers I tried
However I was finally able to hear the BBC program(me) this morning but found that the complete top 40 is not actually played only (allegedly) a selection between 40 and 20 then the complete top 20
so I tried Rona's link which merely produced one of those annoying "this page cannot be displayed-go and get lost" messages
But I resorted to googling for "Paul Weller" and was directed to the exact same URL that Rona posted. His site then opened but features a Macromedia Flash presentation so that although you can certainly see the listing of his album 150's content and see a credit to Gord:-

in my experience clicking on the appropriate go button merely produced a truncated version starting with Paul saying "This is the one" then the stupid thing invariably skipped to the next track.I did once hear the first 20 seconds or so, so at least I got the flavour of Paul's version
did anybody succeed in hearing it all and if so how.
Being a flash thingie you cannot "save target as" from the link or check the source code to try to see the file's URL
Hopefully it will climb into the top twenty then it will get played
