Filed under: News , Exclusive , Q + A , In House Gino DePinto, AOL At a point in his life when he might legitimately be winding down, Paul Weller is getting worked up. With his three most recent albums -- the latest of which, Sonik Kicks , arrived in March -- the 53-year-old former Jam and Style Council frontman has created a trilogy of late-career triumphs, transcending his [...]
Monday night marked Canada's celebration of Victoria Day or Fête de la Reine for our Francophone friends (an explanation of the holiday is available here ). Considering it was a holiday schedule, going to the dreaded Sound Academy was probably twice as bad as usual. I looked up the 72B bus from Pape Station beforehand and timed my trip out accordingly. When I asked the bus driver from the 72 when the next scheduled bus for the B was, he said "Sorry, there's no schedule". There's no schedule for the transit system despite posted schedules online. I'm [...]
  Hi Everybody! I got a repost of an older DreamTime Mix for you today. It's the 1987 track The Cost Of Loving by British band The Style Council . You can find the original version of this track on their album The Cost Of Loving . I used the Re-recorded Vocal & Instrumental Version , both of which can be found on their single Wanted [...]
Rolling Stone's Matthew Perpetua interviews Paul Weller in a feature called " Paul Weller Sidesteps Nostalgia on Eclectic 'Sonik Kicks' ".

MP3: Paul Weller - Around the Lake The seemingly ageless Paul Weller is at it again. March 27th will see the release of his eleventh solo album, Sonik Kicks. The follow-up to the Mercury Prize Award nominated Wake Up the Nation (2010: #26), Sonik Kicks will feature 14 new songs and appearances by Oasis' Noel
With Thanksgiving Day just around the corner, I think we should all take a moment to be thankful that Paul Weller is alive and kicking and still making relevant music in the year 2011. Paul Weller will release a new solo album, Sonik Kicks , on March 26th, 2012, and his management has kindly made a preview track, " Around The Lake ," available for download. "Around The Lake" has a heavy psychedelic feel to it, [...]
A glorious take on a Balearic classic from the masters of disco edits, Leftside Wobble. I played this at a couple of festivals this summer and it went down a treat (please note how casually I just dropped in the fact that I DJ at festivals). This uplifting gospel-drenched anthem is injected with a flurry of hollowed out wooden percussion and a satisfying crash of snares. Feel-good house of the highest order: The Style Council - Promised Land (Leftside Wobble Edit) [pelski highly recommends] Pelski

The Style Council's "Long Hot Summer" can be found here and elsewhere.
>> London-based record label dynamo Audio Antihero ("...we are the best at records.") has a big autumn on tap, not the least of which is the forthcoming full-length from Benjamin Shaw , which will be released in November. But devotees need not wait so long for new music: Audio Antihero's latest money-burning scheme is to release Oct. 10 a split EP featuring tasteful post-rock instrumentalists Fighting Kites and ambient waver Broken Shoulder (which, incidentally, is the solo vehicle of Fighting Kites founder Neil Debenham). Fans may recall the latter act's sublime sorta self-titled [...]

day 08 - a song that you know all the words to I guess on a good day I know the words to tons of songs (though not always the singer of the song ) but this was one that immediately popped into my head. I guess I'm going through a Matt Johnson phase at the moment: Still think that 51st State line is cheesy, though.
