Heading into the 80's tonight with a track by The Style Council. When The Jam called it quits, front man Paul Weller promptly switched gears from Punk icon to Blue-eyed Soul and Funk aficionado and baffled quit a few fans in the process. But for all the scorn he reaped from his old fans, his new ones came running and The Style Council created a lasting impression and a newly-found admiration base for Paul Weller.

Tonight it's a track off Introducing The Style Council, released in 1983. Long Hot Summer starts the album off and quickly eases into the groove that would be their trademark over the next several years.

And since we are heading on a crash course for Summer anyway . . . .

It's the 70's tonight with a nod to the Punk/Mod genre in the UK with The Jam in session for the BBC, recorded on April 26, 1977.

Strangely, not as wildly popular in the U.S. as they were in the UK and the rest of Europe, they nonetheless had an avid following among underground and non-mainstream fans, and they turned in some memorable material over the brief time they were together.

Here are three tracks from that session:

1. In The City
2. Art School
3. This Is The Modern World

Classic Jam from their formative years. Enjoy.
