"Mirror" is a better song but OH MY GOD, the video is a total disgrace, an embarassment. Pete is just plain creepy (and pretentious, and condescending, etc.)

Here is the ultimate bring together clip!!! RollingStonesUSA-I've seen your avatar....& you posted about The Who...& it's a Rolling Stones message board....so why not bring all three together!!!
Wow this stuff sucks. I hope they aren't playing the new stuff TOO MUCH on the new tour.

Mike Post - Guy who did theme for Hill Street Blues? Interesting tune - studio version should rock nicely.
Mirrored Door song sounds too convoluted like something off of Chinese Eyes. Rachel Fuller is pretty sexy though.

=================
A brief respite, day off in Geneva, I should really fly home for the day so I can mix more of the album, but I have now completed six tracks, and have pretty much everything roughed out. I am very behind schedule, I wanted to deliver on June 28. I’ve commissioned a working mobile studio I can use in France on some of the tour days off, designed by Darren Westbrook (the genius who did my home studio you can see in some of my studio videos). So I am able to mix between shows on this European tour as I am based in France for the next few weeks.
The shows are all pretty great. I am playing well and everyone is in the groove, Zak seems suddenly a bit tired, but maybe that’s because he’s young and in love – or something! At his worst, Zak is brilliant, on some of our early shows on this tour he played better than I’ve ever heard him. Rabbit and Pino have pulled out some extraordinary moments too, and Simon’s Casbah Club are truly hotting up the crowds for us. Roger didn’t wear his granny glasses last night, an looked younger for so doing, but claims he was blind. He didn’t see that beautiful Swiss girl who raised her T-Shirt and…… only joking.
The In The Attic series is good fun to do. Rachel and I are really enjoying it. Rachel wore a designer nappy last night she called ‘Bloomers’. They call it fashion. Humph. I promise you she looks better in her bra and knickers. I love getting to play new material, and acoustic stuff, on her show – and that has helped me to be braver about doing new things in my acoustic spot with The Who. I did Greyhound Girl the other day. I also played the long version of Endless Wire in Berlin, both songs were featured first on In The Attic. Last night Mikey played his song Rolling that was just wonderful. And Rachel did a really classy version of Ghost In Your Room.
For the U.S tour we are going to sharpen up the format of the In The Attic show to make it more focussed. It will still be a guerrilla-style webcast show, but we are working on plans to retain the informality but possibly move the ITA stage away from The Who and into more of its own space. We plan a much more down-to-earth Live presentation as well – getting back to the old style glue & string.
You may be able to tell that my focus is shifting a little on Who webcasting too. Seems to me we have given a lot away, and maybe that is not so clever. Roger seems to think when I provide bandwidth for the Who website, and for Live streaming, he is being exploited in some way and wants a piece of the future ‘profit’. Don’t think there is much chance of profit when it is all aimed at charity. But, the success story is that nearly three million minutes of footage has been watched, and about 650,000 of those has been In The Attic. It’s been a great adventure on this European leg of the tour.
Good to see Wire & Glass doing well on iTunes. Feedback from our creaking fans on the music is pretty good too, not that I give a f**k. If people don’t like it they can go back to old Who classics or buy CDs by new bands. I’m just relieved to at last have written new songs out there that Roger sings. It seems we have completely dropped it from our current Live set list – blame the run of Rock Festivals we are playing, but I’m ready to play it solo if necessary. Watch In The Attic for previews.
For the two or three twats who think The Boy Who Heard Music novella was/is‘pretentious’ (it is available elsewhere on this website to read at leisure) remember it is a vital part of my process to involve fans in my unfolding ideas. If you continue to scold me, sneer at me and punish me for being creative – and requiring your involvement – you are forgetting you got the novella for free. This has been a chess game. And I think we are all winning.
Watch this space to see how I intend to make you all pay……..

This new Who song is good. Classic Who style. It is delivered well and with enthusiasm. Good song writing.
I won't bitch
This ones alot better than "Real Good Looking Boy". Regardless, all songs can not be of the same calibur any way.
Mirror Door is a good tune as well.
Seems like they have put together some stuff with substance.
From what I have heard in these three songs The new Who could be pretty decent if done well in the studio.
I won't bitch from what I hearing so far.

The Who have Tommy, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia, and they should be damn proud of those.
But the rest of it - all of it, especially this latest schmaltz - SUCKS HARD.

You're right about those tunes. They do have some isolated good singles/tunes apart from the three aforementioned albums. I like the ones you named quite a bit.
