It’s almost like he knew it was coming. Last Valentines Day,  as couples around the world were celebrating many forms of romantic bliss, others gathered around their speakers or donned headphones in anticipation. After five years, Tame Impala had finally released The Slow Rush, the follow-up to their decade-defining 2015 album Currents. People listened to it on their morning jog, at their desks at work, with their significant others, and a select few honored the decades-old ritual of remo...

28. Beyoncé, "Black Parade" "Being Black is your activism. Black excellence is a form of protest. Black joy is your right."

  Recommended by: Alexa Kushner This song premiered on Megan Thee Stallion’s Tiny Desk Concert in early 2020. Phony Ppl, in general, is a great singer and songwriter, but with this song, he brings funk back and modernizes it with Megan’s rap. The track is all about being young and having fun without having anyone tie you down. It encapsulates the feeling of youth and what life was like before the pandemic – when we were able to have parties, go out and be more carefree about where we wer...

For the live version appearing on Axiom, New Orleans bandleader Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah is...

Dec 11, 2020 Tame Impala Performs At The Forum... Obviously 2020 has been backasswards, but it hasn’t stopped plenty of artists from releasing some really great music. First thing’s first, I realize this is a rock station and at my core i’m an indie/alt rock type of guy, but I do listen to many kinds of music, so don’t be surprised to find some things you may have never heard of on the list.  I also struggle with obsessive compulsive disorder, which really doesn’t negatively impact ...

Tame Impala have taken to triple j’s Perth studios to perform a cover of Edwyn Collins’ ’90s hit ‘Girl Like You’ for the Australian radio station’s Like a Version segment. The psych juggernauts were faithful to the original in their rendition, even down to Collins’ vocal filter. They performed in the same trio configuration of frontman Kevin Parker, Jay Watson (aka GUM) and Dom Simper (aka bambi) playing samp...

On radio in their home city of Perth, Tame Impala have recorded a cover of Edwyn Collins' 90s classic A Girl Like You.

Since her first album, 2016’s Midwest Farmer’s Daughter, Margo Price has often been positioned in outlaw country, flanked by comparisons to Bobbie Gentry and Loretta Lynn. But on her third LP, That’s How Rumors Get Started, Price veers closer to classic rock and away from the honky-tonk that once echoed through the Nashville songwriter’s music. While her debut was charged with drinking tropes and her sophomore effort (2017’s  All American Made)  steeped in political consciousness,...
