So here we are with the fall installment of new music and the fall is shaping up to be a good one. I am a little short of time these days, so the notes are going to be updated as I get time to complete them over the next couple of weeks. So, here is the new proposed format: I am going to post a drop box list, and then I’ll update the list with details as the month progresses. I am finding that it takes about thirty days for everyone to get what they need, so it should give me enough time to give you at least a capsule of the month’s artists during that time. Here is this month’s list:

Many of you will recognize a number of names this month, but give the Sugar reissues, and Bob Mould’s new album a try. Sugar was an amazing live band formed by Bob Mould after the demise of Husker Du (in my top 10 bands of all time). Sugar had the balance of punk rock and melodic rock perfect – Try “If I Can’t Change your Mind,” “Changes,” and “Hoover Dam.” I don’t think you will be disappointed.
Also here are the artists I missed from last month ( If you haven’t listened to any of these yet, do try the Shoes ( Amazing power pop) and Turboweekend ( punk pop) to pick up your day!. I’ll fill in the details as we go!)
