October music preview: The Rolling Stones return, and Taylor Swift revisits 1989
It's a big month for new music, with the likes of Duran Duran, Blink-182, Dogstar, Margo Price, and DJ Shadow also dropping new albums
Music Features The Rolling Stones
The fall music season has officially arrived, and with it comes a wave of new album releases. And nothing is more synonymous with the autumn season than Halloween, which is exactly what Duran Duran had in mind for their latest album Danse Macabre. Inspired by a special Halloween show they played last year, the spooky-themed album contains three brand-new tracks, reimaginings of Duran Duran classics, and covers of songs by Billie Eilish, the Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, and more. Speaking of the Rolling Stones, the rock legends are back, too, with Hackney Diamonds—their first album of original songs in 18 years. Also coming this month is Taylor Swift’s rerecorded version of 1989, which contains five previously unreleased tracks. Other October highlights include albums from the likes of Blink-182, Dogstar, The Mountain Goats, Gucci Mane, and more.

I feel bad for DJ Shadow. An incredible producer, but I can’t think of anyone else whose amazing debut has been as much of an Albatross as Endtroducing has been for Shadow. Private Press was great, but ever since then, it seems his goal has been to get as far away from anything resembling Endtroducing as possible. The results have been…mixed, to say the least. The things that defined albums like Endtroducing and Private Press, as well as the production Shadow has done for remixes and beats for other artists, are pretty much erased from a lot of the work he’s done in the past like, 20 years. What even does DJ Shadow sound like anymore?
If One More Time and More Than You Know are any indications of how the Blink-182 album will be, I think we’re in for a hell of ride. Sounding like what the follow up to the Self Titled album should have been like before Tom left the first time.Its going to be incredible.
I misread “A Savage, Several Songs About Fire”
which isn’t a bad title
The drums, Jonny…the DRUMS!
“Key-yah-new-is-sance”? Is that how you say it?
Blink Me, Baby, One (Hundred-Eighty-Two) More Time(s)
Hey Rival Sons are dropping their second album of the year Oct 20. They’re the best thing happening in rock and roll right now, you should be paying attention.
