[Vol. 1 Issue #259]
It's a quick hit Wednesday with three things from the recommendation feeds we found more interesting than anything else. In the writer's room, we discussed news, current events, and important stories of the day. Nothing stuck out when deciding what to put on the edition #259 final board. Our discussions about the Sound Checks & Music Notes gave us joy, memories, and laughter more than the news today. With that, we give you our:

The Cure is back on tour, and most fan feedback suggests they are as powerful and electric as ever. Here is a clip from the mid-80s tune off the album; Head on the Door called Close To Me.

Great Train
The Clash was born in the 70s, around the same time The Sex Pistols erupted on the punk scene. Similar to the Pistols, The Clash sang of rebellion, but different in that they sang about justice and worked to grow as songwriters and musicians. The Clash were what we thought The Sex Pistols wanted to be; unfortunately for the Pistols, they were riding a Train in Vain.

Sound Checks
Hip Punk Hop
Each of the artists we've highlighted brought something new to the music scene and to the live music performance. The number of rock, punk rock, and alternative music artists that point to The Clash and/or The Cure as a primary influence is in the thousands. In the same unique and original sound come The Beastie Boys. Although they may not come up as the top influence for alt-rock artists, try to find artists of multiple genres who don't respect The Beastie Boys. This diamond of a performance of The Beastie Boys on David Letterman shows us why.
