The 447th edition of the Nine Circles Playlist attempted to sit outside for a while, but 101 degrees means I’ll be spending the nation’s 250th anniversary of signing a piece of paper we’ve argued about ever since in air-conditioning, stoned, and listening to the likes of the new Deep Purple which, sorry – how are the guys all basically 80 at this point and sound this good? Don’t worry, it’s not all Dad Rock: I’ve been growing more and more enamored of the latest from Mork; there is a serious of riffage going on and I am 100% here for it.

And if you don’t eat that? The 9C staff shot off their own aural fireworks for you, including new Enslaved, Emptiness, more Bong Wizard, and even some Waylon Jennings. In other words, no matter what you’re looking for, chances are we got you covered.

Get listening. Stay safe. See you next week.
