While The Second Disc prides itself on connecting people to reissues and box sets they can keep on their shelves, it's no secret that listening audiences are also digital - catalogue music lovers, too - and our passion is connecting people to music from the past that they might adore. So we've introduced a new feature: The Weekend Stream, which focuses on hidden gems that recently made it to digital channels that might make your playlists a little brighter!

Polaris Pete 21

Polaris, the Miracle Legion side-project "band that lives in your TV," is coming back to your turntable with a very special reissue this year.

This "Deluxe 21st Century Edition" will also come with a CD of 15 previously unreleased demos. Series co-creator Will McRobb has penned liner notes, and for the first time, a

Boy Classic

Despite the challenges facing the music business amid the COVID-19 pandemic, there are some bright spots. On March 20, indie music service Bandcamp waived their revenue share for 24 hours, allowing artists and labels to support themselves even more robustly. Thanks to impressive results ($4.3 million spent on music and merch, 15 times an average Friday's revenue), Bandcamp will repeat the strategy not once, but thrice: the first Fridays of each month (today, May 1; June 5 and July 3).

At the end of this month, alt-rock outfit Miracle Legion are playing their final dates together, including a date this Friday at New York's Bowery Ballroom and two closing dates on April 28-29 in California. It seemed right to shine a little light on a band that, without warning, has come to mean a great deal to me. Like most late twentysomethings, my exposure to Miracle Legion and its frontman Mark Mulcahy came in the form of another band: Polaris, three-fourths of Miracle Legion which came

Miracle Legion Portrait of a Damaged Family

Looking for a dose of much-needed jangle in your record collection? Let Miracle Legion do the trick with an exciting reissue of their lesser-known (and, to date, final) album, Portrait of a Damaged Family. Released in 1996, Portrait of a Damaged Family found the New Haven, Connecticut quartet in somewhat of a different place than when they first burst onto the college rock scene more than a decade prior. Singer/songwriter Mark Mulcahy and guitarist Mr. Ray Neal had been the nucleus of the
