Bob playing Dixie on the accordion at the end was interesting, but I must say that it made my day! I can’t wait for the new album.

Video rocked.  A cool look on the inside.  New song sounds great!  I thought Jerome might like the London Lights.

Hey Lana leave Alan alone! He looks great as do Sean and Bob.  Love the sound and feel of the song they're working on in the video. Looking forward to more videos. Hope to catch a show if they come anywhere nearby NYC.

It's nice to see what you lads are up to these days!  Thank you for letting us see a little of what you do when not on tour.  And I have to say that I'm no longer quite as curious about what I'm seeing in the windows when I'm waiting for my bus to carry me home...lol.

And as a sidenote to Lana: You're as stunned as me arse if you think your comment about weight is appreciated.  By anyone.  Thnx.

This is the first we've heard from the boys in a bit. On top of that, it's video. On top of THAT, it's video of them in the studio working on the new album! So much good news, so let's keep this positive.

The shot of all the instruments in the start is great-and the instruments themselves are really nice.  And the heavier low string works great.  

It's cool to see people who you've always idolized off the stage, in a relaxed atmosphere-to know that even though they're phenomenal musicians and all that, their dog won't sit when they ask it to.  It's just nice to know that your heroes are people too.

Alex... the dog may not like to sit, but he sure knows "kisses" and that's whats really important. My Nikko only ever took multiple choice commands & he was the best thing to ever happen to me.

Re the video: I'm loving the new song. I have one or two lines that constantly loop in my mind which is both nice and frustrating... I NEED the rest of the song!

Also enjoyed the peek into the studio atmosphere, definitely different than the picture I had in my mind... a lot more chill. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Fantastic! That was quite a Sean-a-thon!  And the music was great, too :) Thanks for sharing ... I hope there's more to come.

Oh yeah, one more thing- please burn, shread, crack or toss to your dogs that JZ cd. Better yet- spare the dogs!! It's frightening just to see it in Bob's hands!!

Come on... A Bob on JayZ soundtrack entry could potentially be fun.

Tosh's coloring is similar to my dog Zoe, he sits just as well, and kisses just as happily. Clearly, they're related. :)

(I'm glad the boys are dog-people. That makes a difference.)

The video made me smile. I love listening to the chatter and banter exchanged between everyone. It was also really interesting to see the studio and watch a bit of the recording process. It really got me excited about the song and the new CD. I think I liked the video better than the podcasts. I hope there are more of them. Thanks, boys:o)

ALEX! Hey! It is great to see you here!

I loved Alan's guitar at the beginning of the video - what a beautiful piece of music.  Add to that the lyrics later in the video and it made me very happy indeed!  "Far From the Shores of England" is something that really touches me personally.  I am really looking forward to this Album.  It really is going to Rock Planet Earth!
One thing I noticed about the studio that made me smile:  The Beatles For Sale poster on the window.  When we came from England it was the mid 60's; my parents brought that record over with us.  It was 3 years old then, and so was I.   I have listened to it my whole life through and I still have it!  It was an odd connection, seeing that image and listening to Far From the Shores of England.  
I can't wait to see and hear the next studio clip!

Fantastic!  Thank you so much we loved it.  We can't wait for the new album and tour!  We will be watching for more in-studio stuff!  You guys are awesome!
