The John Sally Ride- For Sal (2026) ****

Donnie Iris- Back On The Streets (1980) ****

Black Sabbath- Never Say Die (1978) ****


• The Roky/Okkervil sounded great after a very long lay off.

• Thank you Dr. Wu for the NIN edit. I think my issue is that I just prefer four other NIN albums more than "The Downward Spiral," though it does include a few true Trent classics.

• "Never Say Die," the Sabbath album everyone including the band can't stand. I don't get it. It's a perfect Side One and a pretty solid Side Two, even if it doesn't sound like "Iron Man."

• Part of the just released 60th anniversary box celebrating Sinatra's legendary run at the sands in Las Vegas, Frank's voice is outstanding. Great, great singing. The monologue-- "The Tea Break"--has not aged well, though still occasionally hilarious.
