Feature ¦ Ian Dury - The Last Champion of Pop Music
The music industry is nowadays such a prohibitive place for artists. Acts and bands are ‘chosen’ by the powers-that-be and there is often little choice from the public about who succeeds (commercially) and who flops...

Kelley Polar ¦ In Time
This banger is so underrated it's hard to believe, wispy vocals mixed with loopy chords. Winner
I found this effort on soundcloud extending the original without ruining what's good about it. Decent

Rolling Stones - Miss You (The Special Disco Version 12")
This 12" 'disco version of the song was the Stones' first dance remix. Jagger and Ronnie Wood insist that "Miss You" wasn't conceived as a disco song, while Richards said, "...'Miss You' was a damn good disco record; it was calculated to be one." In any case, what was going on in discotheques did make it to the recording. Charlie Watts (drummer) said, "A lot of those songs like 'Miss You' on 'Some Girls'... were heavily influenced by going to the discos. You can hear it in a lot of those four-to-the-floor and the Philadelphia-style drumming."

(Album) Tame Impala - Innerspeaker
Tame Impala is a four-piece band from Perth, Australia, that recently released its first LP, Innerspeaker--a collection of airy, groove-based psychedelic rock songs.
Drawing heavily from the psychedelic revivalists of the late '80s--bands like the Stone Roses, Sun Dial and Happy Mondays--while also pulling from classic-rock acts such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Cream, Tame Impala sculpt a familiar sound with modern sensibilities. Reverb-drenched vocals, blissed-out guitars, pulsing drum beats and pleasant spaciousness catapult the band into ethereal territory without ever comprising their sense of origin.
Tame Impala doesn't aim for intensity, instead opting for expansiveness and texture. Songs like "Alter Ego," "Solitude is Bliss" and "I Don't Really Mind" sway and morph in a very subtle manner. The lyrics mostly meditate on enhanced consciousness, at times coming off as too conspicuous, like on "Lucidity": "Lucidity come back to me / Put all five senses back to where they're meant to be / Wandering around like spare time never knew it / I might suck fizzle or I might just float away."
The album flows along with exceptional continuity, each song setting the stage for the next. The long instrumental "Jeremy's Storm" is stacked with sonic ear candy and interesting bits that become more apparent with each listen. The seven-minute "Runway, Houses, City, Clouds" is arguably the highlight of the album--a rollicking, fervent piece of music that weaves through a range of movements and peaks that will make you happy you went for the ride.
