There's a small factory someplace that seems to be churning out skinny, curly haired, very earnest singer songwriters at the moment; there's Paolo Nutini, James Morrison, and Mika, all of whom look basically alike and are pretty musically inoffensive.
I'm kind of surprised Amy Winehouse didn't pop up as a guest at one of the New York shows, since she's been a pretty frequent onstage guest of Weller's over the past few months and seems more musically compatible than Nutini.
