November gets plenty of credit for turkey, football and the annual rush to buy a slightly larger television. The record stores deserve a little attention, too. From Nirvana unplugging to Wu-Tang kicking the door in, this month has delivered an impressive pile of albums and plenty of ways to drown out Thanksgiving arguments. Here’s one for every day.
November 1: Nirvana, MTV Unplugged in New York (1994, DGC Records). MTV once put musicians on television and let them play entire songs. Imagine. Nirvana used the opportunity to sidestep the obvious hits and lean on David Bowie, Lead Belly and the Meat Puppets.

Pitbull will get the party started as the Friday night headliner when the ninth edition of Innings Festival returns to Tempe Beach Park & Arts Park February 26–28, 2027.
Mr. Worldwide has spent much of this year on his I’m Back Tour with Lil Jon, which launched in West Palm Beach (5/14) and reached the Hollywood Bowl two weeks later.
