Lovely people both, Paul is such a genuine, generous soul. I was a little too young to go to see The Clash. Last year of junior school. He made my heart flutter. I'm going to listen to this album. I like how their collaboration just came about naturally.
Love the soulful vibe of the music.

Out of all of them in my youth Paul seem ageless just crusing with music and painting. No regrets or bitterness

[Phoebedumplings]

These folks have charmed lives ? Good on em

Literally no other human being could wear that hat, let alone at a jaunty angle, and be the coolest mofo in the room.

[rollandjoeseph]

Clearly a good artist, i wonder how well he does doing this work

"When I was a baby, I wanted to be a painter". I love this cat.

Well the way things are going in the EU and Germany better off out of it. We aren’t shutting the door on anything european just not letting them dictate to us. Dig the album btw.
