The Reissue Section: Summer 2021
From deep jazz spiritualism to big dumb rock, Summer 2021 has been chockfull of archival releases of old favorites, obscure discoveries and newly unearthed recordings that will appeal to a vast array of music fans with ice cream money to burn. I keep hearing about how the CD era is dead and all that stuff. But this current cache of archival titles continues to prove the compact disc is very much a format that continues to bring joy and happiness to a large swath of the music-buying public. So yes, CD players still belong in cars, you savages!

‘Natural Reverbs and Crazy Sounds’: 25 Years of Stone Temple Pilots’ Tiny Music…
It’s been 25 years since Stone Temple Pilots released their third album, Tiny Music… Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop, and (as we announced last month) that means it’s time to revisit it via Tiny Music… Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop: Super Deluxe Edition. The box set doesn’t release until July (via Rhino), but the band has all sorts of new goodies to share along the way. For instance, the Super Deluxe edition includes a live video that the band performed at a TV taping. “That was a really fun time because it was for MTV Spring Break in Panama City,” recalls drummer Eric Kretz about the included version of “Lady Picture Show.” “That was back when MTV kind of ran the world as far as music. Not only did it play videos, but they were breaking bands, influencing radio stations on what t...

The 50 Best Alt-Rock Love Songs
Not all love songs are romantic. Not all love songs are even happy. It all depends on your definition of the term. For every “My Girl” or “Your Song,” there’s at least one track with a nuanced take on the darker, more complicated sides of love — the drama of a long-term relationship, the fear of losing a partner, the void left in love’s wake. Many of those songs fall under the admittedly broad umbrella of “alt-rock.” So to mark Valentine’s Day, we decided to gather 50 of our favorite “love songs” in the genre — both conventional and otherwise. Throughout this list, you’ll find lines about blooming romance and marital bliss. You’ll also find nods to drug addiction and car crashes. There’s something for everyone. – Ryan Reed 50. that dog. – “I’m Gonna See You” You take the good, you tak...
