The Weekend Stream Extra: A Guide to ‘MTV Unplugged’ on Paramount+ (Part 2)

May 25, 2025 by Mike Duquette | No Comments

Welcome to a special Sunday feature of The Weekend Stream, which takes a look at one of MTV’s great live music programs thanks to a recent reissue of one of its best-known episodes. We’re running a five-part deep-dive on every episode of MTV Unplugged that’s currently streaming on the station’s parent streaming network Paramount+! (Part 1 can be read here.) The evolution of MTV Unplugged was not unlike that of the network itself. If those first years on the air from 1989 to 1991 were proof of the format’s artistic viability, the episodes recorded…

The Weekend Stream: February 22, 2025

February 22, 2025 by Mike Duquette | 2 Comments

Welcome to another edition of The Weekend Stream, The Second Disc’s review of notable catalogue titles (and some new ones, too!) making digital debuts! A great Carly Simon deep cut gets a fresh mix, plus Phil Collins in concert and new music from The Stylistics. Carly Simon, “Share the End” (2025 Remaster) (Elektra/Rhino) (iTunes / Amazon) Though merely billed as a remaster in the metadata, this upbeat, heartbreaking side-two opener to Simon’s sophomore album Anticipation has been newly remixed. It’s a dramatic revisit of a song that resonates still, and hopefully a portent of…

BMG for RSD: Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, De La Soul, Solo Stones and More Coming from Catalogue Label for Record Store Day

February 13, 2025 by Mike Duquette | 2 Comments

Among the bigger surprises of an already packed Record Store Day slate is seeing labels increase their presence within the usual offerings. One such case: BMG, a company steadily growing in prominence since corporate owner Bertelsmann sold a four-year stake in Sony Music and started rebuilding with a host of classic rock, pop and other catalogues as well as new releases from those acts. This year, the company has prepped a baker’s dozen special vinyl titles for the RSD festivities on Saturday, April 12, drawing from a list of well-known acts or…

Review: Ronnie Lane, “Just For A Moment: Music 1973-1997”

May 31, 2019 by Sam Stone | 5 Comments

RonnieLane JustForAMoment Music1973 1997 pl

Ask any of his collaborators and they’ll tell you, Ronnie Lane was special. Sure, he was an exceedingly talented singer, bassist, guitarist, and songwriter; he was also a uniquely open-minded and welcoming collaborator who was more than willing to nurture talent. But what really sets Ronnie Lane apart is the way he subverted what it meant to be a popular musician. Unlike the majority of his peers, Ronnie Lane didn’t want to be a rock star. He wanted his music to reach people, sure, but he’d tasted fame (and explored all its…

RGM RonWood RonnieLane MahoneysLastStand

In the last few months, Real Gone Music has announced a number of welcome reissues of soundtracks on LP. Next up in the series are two soundtracks to hard-to-find films, due out February 1: one by a countercultural hero and voice of experimentation, the other by a pair of Faces who explore a rural blend of folk-rock. Timothy Leary remains one of the legends of the sixties counterculture scene. He cashed in on the hippies’ sense of adventure and experimentation to become a spokesperson for LSD, in particular. In 1967, Leary, his partner…
