Heavens preserve us

The not-actually-important-parts-of-The-Jam, who've been gigging up and down the country under the name From The Jam, have decided that the reunion is going so well, except for not having the voice of Weller, that they might as well record some new material:

Foxton says From The Jam plans to start rehearsing song ideas in April, after the group finishes its early-year tour commitments. "There will be new material, (but) it probably won't see the light of day until the end of this year," he says. "We've got a few good ideas kicking around. We'll see what we come up with. We don't want to rush it. There's no pressure from a record label or anybody. It's a great position to be in."

Obviously, the idea is to give people who haven't had a chance to get the gigs to realise that they're still alright, if you can get over the missing Weller to discover through records that, past the initial disappointment, they're alright.

A Weller-free Jam might seem an odd idea, but people buy decaffinated coffee and fat-free guacamole, don't they, and there's technically no bloody point in those products, either.
