Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today, Ray and I recorded the 100th episode of The Man Who Ate the Town. I want to thank The BCPF, Kelly Bone, Tim Johnson and the guests that we’ve had on the show these 100 episodes. I’ve had a ball doing them all with you. Today, we had Brantley Norris on the show. Brantley…
Salutations™!! It was a chilly, wet and murky day yesterday. But, The BCPF and I had each other, good breakfast and, yes, records. Jonathan did a little bit of moving around in Underdog Records, but the records are still the same. I love records. Here’s the haul: Blossom Dearie – Simply Volume VI — I love Blossom Dearie. This…
Salutations™!! Today is the 31st anniversary of The Church’s Starfish album and its most famous tune is done here by the amazing Mike Massé. I never pass up an opportunity to expose Mr. Massé to my friends. Anything he does is always a good version of a song. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! —…
Salutations™!! On Wednesday, I was invited to attend a food blogger event at Uncle Buzzy’s in WSNC. Today, over on The Man Who Ate the Town, I wrote about it. It was a lot of food! It was a pretty long post, too, so it can stand as my post over here, too. You can…
Salutations™!! This will be brief but I just wanted to say that I found the absolute best SiriusXM channel, ever. It is called KISS Army Radio and it is 95% KISS and 5% their influences or bands that may have opened for them, like Rush, AC/DC, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, etc. I found…
Salutations™!! We recorded Fan Interference today and TC and HB interviewed Greg Dortch, a former All-ACC WR from Wake Forest who is attending the NFL Scouting Combine in a few weeks and hopes to be drafted. It was a cool interview. Then I ran down to Uncle Buzzy’s and attended a tasting especially for food…
Salutations™!! I totally forgot to write a blog post about the party on Saturday. The party was the Post-Holiday/Anniversary Shindig at Finnigan’s Wake. Last Sunday was the ninth anniversary of The Less Desirables (as I wrote about) and I believe this was the ninth party. We have always had it at Finnigan’s and this year…
Salutations™!! Today, on The Man Who Ate the Town podcast, Ray and I had Salem Kirby come into the studio to discuss her new business Salem’s Biffles. I know what you’re asking. What the heck is a biffle? Well, she gave us the definition. This is a creation of her own that is basically a…
Salutations™!! The BCPF hasn’t been feeling well and it’s just another hit to our 2019 plans. Not her fault, of course, but we had wanted to start a big cleaning/purge project through this year to just get more organized. But, she’s not felt up to it because of all the crud going around. Plus, this…
Salutations™!! Today is the 49th anniversary of Frank Zappa’s Burnt Weeny Sandwich album. I have always (stupidly) scoffed at Zappa as just being noise but I recently watched the Classic Albums episode about Over-Nite Sensation and Apostrophe (‘) and found a new respect for him and his work. Here are Roberto Gatto and the Quinto Rigo Band doing “Igor’s…
