October 7, 2026, marked the 40th anniversary of Slayer’s Reign in Blood. So, the Kousins had a listening party. The whole album was over in 28 minutes. So they took time to pay a short tribute to The Spaceman himself, Ace Frehley, who died a year ago on October 16.

Calls from Nick Provenzano from Northern California, Jim from Irwin, Jem from Alabama, and Bruno from Sunny and Blue-Skied South Africa.

To honor the anniversary of Eddie’s passing on October 6, The Kousins put together a Top 10 of the early years, or the DLR Mach I era. This means the albums included were: Van Halen (1978), Van Halen II (1979), Women and Children First (1980), Fair Warning (1981), Diver Down (1982), and 1984 (1984). 2012’s A Different Kind of Truth was left out of this. Each Kousin submitted their Top 10 individual songs, and each was weighted. A #1 vote was worth 10 points, #2 was worth 9, #3 was worth 8, and so on. Then the scores were averaged and ranked. There were 60 possible song choices. Were any of them “Goochers?” A Goocher happens when all four Kousins vote for the same song, regardless of their individual rankings. You gotta listen.

Calls from Jim from Irwin and Jem from Hurricane-Awaiting Alabama.
