Waitin' for my Mojo

I know I'm not the only one who's been tipped into a major Tom Petty obsession from the BBC4 showing of Running Down a Dream, so if you want some more of the same, here's the "Making of" video for Mojo.
Hurry up Amazon...

That documenatry worked on me too
Bought the "Playback" box set on the strength of what I saw and heard. Am also looking forward to the new album. When the hell's he going to come over here?
PS You up for the next gathering?
Not sure about Liverpool gathering
Bit of a girly wuss about heading into the centre of Liverpool on my own on a Friday night, not knowing about parking and no direct trains home.
Note to Liverpudlians: I'd be the same about heading into any unfamiliar city on my own on a Friday night, no offence intended.
Have fun though.
If you want some directions
and parking advice, there's plenty either myself, or others, could offer.
So am I
Tom Petty is consistent. All of his albums are good. I have a feeling that this one is going to be special though.
Me too!!
The Last DJ has been on regularly round my way. Hadn't heard it for a couple of years. Good old BBC4!
You get famous, I get rich.
i've been in that studio
it's a staggering place - your absolute dream rehearsal/studio/office space.
Recently?
Please tell me there's an interview coming up (and if it's not in Word, go on, you can tell us where it is, we won't tell The Management, honest)
last Autumn
I did it for Sunday Times [http://is.gd/cOPSj]. One of the all-time lovely blokes of all time.
Thanks Rob
Loved the article, and glad to get in before the Great Wall of Murdoch cuts off The Sunday Times forever.
Also great to hear that Tom Petty really is as lovely as he appears in Running on a Dream. Don't expect musical heroes to be decent human beings as well, so it's doubly welcome to know when they're people you can really respect.
Bit rum
that after all the love we've shown him on this blog that he names the album after a rival publication
He can make up for it when he releases his covers album...
Tom Petty Does Some Old.
Saw TP and the Heartbreakers last Tues night
Great show, great sound and I was less than 30 feet from the stage.If I had one complaint it would be, they should have played a second encore because everyone was pretty happy with the show.It's been about 10 years since they came to Vancouver, so catch this show if you can.The reviews were critical of them playing 5 songs from Mojo- I liked what I heard tho.
Hoping to get this new cd on Sunday for Fathers Day....
......been waiting an age for the new album, hope its decent.
I haven't had a chance to listen to this yet, although its sat waiting for me on my ipod. Download of a recent TPATH Westwood One radio interview and playback of the new album...
Just right click on the seg1, seg 2, seg3, seg4 and "save target as," and you'll have the MP3 of that radio show.

This just in
The CD is everything I hoped for. There's a touch more of a blues-rock influence than usual, there are no gaps between songs, and the tone of the guitars is the best I've heard on any record made since about 1973. The inside cover shot, a photo montage of the band in their rehearsal space, is the best picture of a band I recall seeing. I want to be in that room.
Waitin's over
and I'm loving Mojo. Many thanks to Almost Simon for the radio interview links - really cheered up tonight's train journey, and I'm dead envious of Andrew B (no sign of a UK tour yet).
Now back to "I Should Have Known It" (for the umpty umpth time today).
