As part of its Rocktober campaign, Rhino Records is releasing 13 new titles in its impressive Rhino Reserve #vinyl series. Here are reviews for two of them, for great '70s artists who didn't quite become household names: Mott the Hoople and Doug Sahm.

Holy majoly! Tons of new #vinyl reissues this week, including a gaggle of Rhino Rocktober releases, hard-to-find Eno, live Hendrix, a slightly puzzling Tears for Fears campaign, sooo much jazz, and a wonderful hidden gem from Scottish indie band the Orchids. Plus, the latest reissue announcements!

An in-depth look at the excellent new #vinyl box set for the Beatles’ 1965 album Rubber Soul, which turns the act of listening to a beloved album into something akin to a university-level course. #beatles #rubbersoul

vinylcut.netReview: The Beatles’ Rubber SoulThe Fab Four’s 1965 album gets the deluxe treatment at last. By today’s standards, Rubber Soul was a rush job. In mid-October 1965, as the Christmas deadline loomed, the Beatles convened with produce...

Trump: "Millions of American small businesses, including corner stores. What is a corner store? I've never heard that term. I know what a corner store is but I've never heard it described-- a corner store. Who the hell wrote that?"

As bad as this is for the US, Iran, and the world at large, I take solace in the degree to which this is CATASTROPHIC for JD Vance.

JD Vance: "The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the US. So, we go back to the US having not come to an agreement ... they have chosen not to accept our terms"

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I dunno, maybe some new vinyl can help
