This week Pepperoni Picked Kiss’ Hotter Than Hell

“Everyone sit down. Who remembers when KISS played our state fair? The mayor and the governor came out and everyone booed the governor and they gave KISS the key to the city and then they sang the pledge of allegiance. I had previously picked KISS’s disco album “Dynsasty” as my pick of the week and that was it. Well, it’s finally time I pick a NON-DISCO KISS and today that is going to have to be their second studio album, “Hotter Than Hell” from 1974. You see the thing about KISS is that they have 20 studio albums and when people come in asking for KISS they don’t really care which KISS albums we have, they’ll take anything. Anything before Dynasty is going to be some solid hard rock though. I was playing this on the outdoor speakers earlier and everyone from Good Heart Tattoo poked their head in while the song “Goin’ Blind” was playing and that’s when we realized that the band MELVINS cover that song on their album “Houdini” Pretty cool!”

We also just recently added Independence Day Pinball to our pinball lineup downtown. Hit the alien head for multiball. Keep playing and see if you can start Area 51 multiball. Designed by Rob Hurtado and our first SEGA pinball machine.

Total Eclipse of the Fart

Sorry I missed a week. I was off on a weeklong vacation with my family riding a ferris wheel into the ocean (Galveston). Also Brian got engaged on Rex Manning Day, nerd.

We got so much going on this week! Friday night this show is happening with New Mexico hardcore Bleak, Cincinnati emo shoegazers Sign Language, South Carolina hardcore Your Spirit Dies and local hardcores Pucker Up and Volition

Then on Saturday we have a local hip-hop/R&B showcase with Almost Homeless and friends, presented by Paperboy Entertainment

Wow Big Releases and re-issues Friday!

– BEYONCE: “COWBOY CARTER” You all know what it is, Beyoncé’s “Country” “Album”, we listened to the full thing and I don’t even think it’s all that country TBH, just sounds like another Beyonce album and it’s good. Physical release is tomorrow.
– SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE with the 30th anniversary release of their iconic emo album “Diary” on “pearl” vinyl
– NOAH KAHAN with some deluxe triple-LP version of his album “Stick People” pressed on “black ice” vinyl.
– Metal band DEATH have re-issues of just about all of their albums on fancy splatter vinyl, we just have their album “Human” featured here.
– GIRL IN RED with a new album “I’m Doing It Again, Baby”
– LINKIN PARK “Papercuts” a 20-track singles collection spanning the band’s career. We should be getting black and also the indie-exclusive version.

For some reason Pepperoni picked this album this week

“Here is my pick this week, this is the only KISS album you need in your collection.”

oh and Record Store Day is next week???
