Ripped In Glasgow (Free subscription) | yesterday
Released on the Cajual offshoot 'Live' in 1997. Check this out: a one-sided 12" with two tracks on the A-side? What the fuck's going on there then? Mind you, I love that kinda shit. This is very heavy on the percussion, with a wee keyboard hook that uses the same sound from that 'Popcorn' tune (or it did to me anyway). According to someone on Discogs, the Studio 54 remix is based around a sample...

NPR is seeking input from listeners for a series that will highlight 50 great singers. The list will eventually be narrowed down to 50 of the greatest, from all the nominations sent in.

The list below is not necessarily a list of my personal favorites, although NPR doesn't discourage that. Since the...

Like thousands of bad headline writers before me, I’ll go ahead and indulge my corniest instincts: Blame it on Rio . Earlier today, Rio de Janiero emerged as the victor in the heated competition to play host for the 2016 Olympic Games. Madrid and Tokyo finished second and third. And Chicago – thought to be one of the favorites coming into the day – finished last. But there remains...

Has anyone heard the new Bill Champlin album "No Place Left To Fall? His solo music is fantastic! I got turned onto his music when I went to see Chicago recently (he just left the band after 28 years to pursue his solo career). Guess he’s been around a while as I found out that he co-wrote (and won a Grammies for…) “After the Love is Gone” by Earth, Wind & Fire and “Turn Your Love Around” by George
