New music Saturday? What’s wrong with starting the weekend off with some great music that you may have missed during the week? It’s August and we’re spending as much time outdoors at the beach as we can right now. Masks are being mandated again here in the Garden State and that’s not making anyone happy. We stood in front of the Stone Pony this morning as they put the Summer Stage up for the first time in almost 2 years but we’re starting to hear rumors about impending cancellations if cases continue to climb. Billie Eilish leads the charge this weekend on Qobuz. Any sign of Spotify HiFi yet?
