New music this week from home town favorites Slow Coast, Cory Wong with Stephen Day, Lake Street Drive with Tiny Habits, LOREN, The Salt Collective, Spock's Beard, Aerosmith with YUNGBLUD, Manic Street Preachers and more. Enjoy!
++++++++++++++++++++++++
At last a band I've been championing for some time and not just because they are based a stone's throw from me is Slow Coast, whose new album "Home of the Restless" has finally dropped. This is an album that in the old days would make stars out of them. I've added 4 songs over the past year that appear on this album, and I'm adding another 4 this week. This is a great band and the album is well worth your time.
Lightning in a Twilight Hour is a mouthful of a name for a band but get past that. They have a new album called "Colours Yet to be Named" and it's full of melancholy exploration of sound and I've pulled a couple of songs from the narrative for this week.
In Virtue's new album "Age of Legends" might seem to be a fantasy tale only because it is. It's a hard rocking album with ideas drawn from ancient Italy and Greece, with a few nods to Tolkien and the link. Now lots of band have done this, but In Virtue's album is a Drop D hard rock standout and worth a listen.
Spock's Beard has dropped a new album called "The Archeoptimist" that is a serious reminder that they are the kings of Progressive Rock. The last two songs are a combined 30 minutes
Quite a few remakes out this week, from Aerosmith along with YUNGBLUD covering their own "Back in the Saddle Again", Lake Street Drive and Tiny Habits covering "Leaving on a Jet Plane", Austin Brown with Tumer Willis doing Christopher Cross' "Saling", and Courtney Hadwin's reimagining of Black Sabath's "Changes". Rob Zombie is dropping new music, and so are Manic Street Preachers. Prince's fantastic album "Around the World in a Day" has been given an update and a second disc filled with remixes and new mixes of songs you already know (I added the new mix of "Pop Life" last week).
And here I'm going to plug an album that's not coming out until January - a double disc set called "The Weapon And The Shield", a compilation with over 30 songs from artists big and small including me. If you want a sneak peek there will be online listening parties on December 1st (for the first disc) and December 5th (for the second disc):
I will post the link for the listening party as soon as I have it on my socials (CounterSocial, Bluesky, Tumblr), or you can follow the project on bandcamp and be e-mailed the link the day of the show. I actually recommend this method. I am not on Xitter, TikTok or Instagram and am only rarely on Facebook so those are not the best places to follow me.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Speaking of Listening Parties, there will be one for my own new album coming out in January. "Frankfurt am Main" is a rock/jazz album of instrumentals (mostly) inspired by our stay in the city the album is named after. Although my work is readily available at most of the usual places I also have a bandcamp page. You can bookmark the event now if you'd like by clicking here.

If your saving can be obliterated by a change in the rules of a game then they weren't real to begin with.
As mentioned above, I'm not on Xitter so I never saw this, but this has to be one of the greatest self-owns of all time. Of all people, Elmo the Musk exposed that Overseas actors are propping up MAGA.
It should be noted that while the cases were dismissed against Comey and James, they were dismissed without prejuduce - which means they can be brought again if the administration can do it correctly. 50/50 odds for now.
You know, maybe the press should be talking to Senator Lindsey Graham to see what he thinks about Secretary of Whiskey Hegseth threat to court-martial Senator, Astronaut and War Hero Mark Kelly for simply reminding soldiers of their Constitutional Oath. Graham is a JAG Officer.
No offense to James Carville, because he was the right man at the right moment, but if the new/old guy is "collapsing" then I'm going to "sit back and watch". I want to give him a push.
Has "Big Balls" fled back to Canada yet?
And because I love you even I have to admit this is cute:
