I got some extra money yesterday from Social Security, so I was able to buy some recent music that I've liked. I bought 2 singles from the upcoming first full-length album from Rina Sawayama, a pop-metal singer who was born in Japan but raised in London, as well as the acoustic EP "Vicious Stripped" by Halestorm and some older releases from Nirvana and Chris Cornell. I'm going to be saving some money for next week's releases, but there's some stuff this week that'll definitely be worth checking out and probably worth buying at least some tracks.
Dio Deluxe Editions: Four later albums from the metal band around influential metal singer Ronnie James Dio are being rereleased tonight/tomorrow, all with bonus live tracks featuring some of his more familiar songs like "Heaven and Hell," "The Mob Rules," "Stand Up And Shout" and "Rainbow in the Dark." These releases also feature Jeff Pilson on bass on "Angry Machines" and "Master of the Moon," Craig Goldy on guitar for "Master of the Moon" and Doug Aldrich playing guitar on "Killing The Dragon," all of whom are fantastic musicians.
Def Leppard-The Early Years: A box set featuring all of Def Leppard's material from 1979 to around 1982, all pre-Pyromania stuff. Some of these songs are still played by the band in current shows, like "Let it Go" (it has nothing to do with Frozen, sorry) "Bringing on the Heartbreak" and the instrumental "Switch 625." It'll be interesting to hear this awesome band's beginnings and early live performances.
