"Danse Macabre" Is Duran Duran's Must Listen to Halloween Album
Duran Duran released their sixteenth studio album, Danse Macabre, this previous October. The release date was done intentionally close to Halloween as the theme of this album is inspired by Halloween and all things spooky. And it may or not be intentional that the album has exactly 13 songs.

Musical Digest: rewind ft bladee x charlie xcx
I press play and hit “rewind”... perhaps it’s confusing, but despite its desire to go back in time, I play it on a loop. By this point, every Charlie XCX angel has declared their favorite track off of the brat remix compilation.

BTS “2 Cool 4 Skool” album review
What is this and why do I need more? First of all, the album title *2 Cool 4 Skool* is peak 2013 energy, with that "2" instead of "too" and the "kool" instead of "cool." It’s giving heavy early 2010s texting vibes—My 12 year old self thought spelling things like that automatically made me edgy and cool lol.

I was a BRAT before it was cool
Brat. One word that has gained a whole new meaning to my life. Prior to Charlie XCX’s revolutionary album announcement this summer, this word used to be my middle name.

Post Hackett Genesis - The Good Stuff
Introduction It was a shock when Peter Gabriel left Genesis, but Phil Collins, who had sung "More Fool Me" on "Selling England By The Pound" stepped up and with Chester Thompson helping out on drums the band produced two more excellent albums, "A Trick Of The Tale" and "Wind and Wuthering" so things still looked good, especially with the excellent Peter Gabriel solo albums, we were getting a lot of great music.

"One More Round, Delia's Gone"
One of the strangest things I’ve ever heard someone say came from Johnny Cash. In a 1996 interview to promote Unchained, his second album for producer Rick Rubin, Johnny talked about the renewed interest he was receiving from audiences following the first Cash/Rubin collaboration, 1994’s American Recordings, which featured just Johnny and his guitar. Cash discussed the long process leading to the solo format of that first album. The months of trial and error mostly consisted of Johnny and Rick sitting at Rubin’s Los Angeles home, with the recording equipment set up and running down a list of 200 songs that Johnny had in his head and which he had always wanted to record. According to Cash, after that process and the decision to keep the album bare, came the matter of working on Cash's guitar playing and making it sound good for recording since, as he put it, “I can’t play guitar.”
