Carol Cool made this pretty nice cover of Diana Ross’ “Upside Down” some years ago. I always liked it a lot, hope you enjoy it, too!

Mike Skinner is one of those guys in the business who`ve always been confronted with superficial opinions. As the British Hip Hop doesn`t sound like the stuff you know from the Billboard Charts, ignorant people, often degradet The Streets to simple Pop music. Skinner didn`t mind and kept it real, ’cause the only way to make honestly music is to make music you are really into, otherwise it`s crap. Thanks Mike Skinner for sentences like “Don’t give them what they think they want just give them what they need…” because you know what we really need. Honesty.

Another band you ought to know is Roxy Music. They were founded in London in the early 70’s and became popular for their special artrock sound. Due to their controversial record covers, they got criticized by a plenty of conservative groups which finally even achieved the censorship in the USA, Spain and the Netherlands.
