I am thoroughly enjoying the new Social Distortion record Born to Kill. Mike Ness is still delivering exceptional performances at 64 years old. This is the Special edition pink and yellow vinyl version.

I highly recommend the Drowns, a band from Seattle, Washington, whose third album, Blacked out, is available on neon yellow vinyl. Notably, the lead singer, Aaron Rev Peters, may sound familiar as he is also the lead vocalist of the L.A. band, the Briggs, which I have been a fan of for some time. I encourage you to explore their music.

One of the most influential hip hop albums of all time, the Beastie Boys' License to Ill, was released in 1986 and made history as the first hip hop album to top the Billboard Top 200. I recall the excitement and buzz surrounding its release, as it was a game-changer in the music industry. I was lucky enough to see the Beastie Boys perform live before MCA's passing in 2012. In my opinion, this album is a masterpiece, ranking among my top 10 rap albums of all time, with every track being exceptional. This reissue celebrates the 30th anniversary of the album's initial release.

The Marcus King Band, from Greenville, SC, has recently released Darling Blue, featuring guest artists Jamey Johnson and Noah Cyrus. As someone who doesn't typically listen to country music, I appreciate Marcus King's unique soulful sound.

With a Little Help from My Friends, Joe Cocker's 1969 debut album, is notable for its cover of the celebrated Beatles song. In my view, his version is superior. I have long appreciated Joe Cocker's distinctive vocal delivery, which is marked by an unwavering emotional commitment, making his passion for music almost palpable. Joe Cocker's passing is a loss, but his music endures.

The Exploited's 'Let's Start a War (Said Maggie One Day)' was released in 1983. It wasn't until later that I discovered the band's Scottish origins. This 2001 reissue features three tracks from the Rival Leaders EP.

Last night, I had the opportunity to see Joe Jackson perform live at the Knight Theater in Charlotte, NC. I firmly believe that Joe has never been given the respect he merits. He is a talented musician who is greatly underappreciated.

Last night, we visited Ground Zero in Spartanburg, SC for the Pentagram and Antiseen show. While listening to Pentagram on vinyl is impressive, their live performance is a distinct experience. The sound quality was outstanding, surpassing our expectations.
