Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! So, yesterday we actually pull the smallest haul ever, for us, from Underdog Records. It’s the end of the month and funds are tight so we looked through the $1 bin and found three records that we wanted and brought them home. Each surprisingly was in VG and dare I say VG+ condition even though…
Salutations™!! Still recovering from the vocal calisthenics? Yeah, me too. Well, yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the release of Breakfast In America from Supertramp. I don’t like how she seems distant and unenthused but her tone, pitch and range are great. So, enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_ZfxiR_o2g Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “There are…
Salutations™!! Today I submitted audition files for about 12 voice jobs. Each, for animation and characters. Supposedly, I got a few of them. I just have to change a few things. But, let me tell you after 30-ish takes with a rasp, whisper, higher registered character voices, accents and more, that take a real toll…
Salutations™!! Once again, I was the featured writer for this week’s “Dinner Guest” column for “Triad City Bites” of the Triad City Beat magazine. I wrote a brief intro on The Man Who Ate the Town with a link to the story. To keep you from having to go through a plethora of links, I’m going…
Salutations™!! Tonight on The Less Desirables, we played a tune from local guys, Suitcase. They are releasing five songs in serial to make a collection called Don’t Shoot It’s Me. I have always loved these guys and I was excited that they released new music. I really dig Joe, Don and Travis. The first tune released…
Salutations™!! Yesterday The BCPF tried to kill me! That’s not true, of course. But, I like to make things a little dramatic. Not as in drama, but overplayed realness. But, what the heck am I talking about? Last night for dinner, she made a fantastic orange-sauced pork chop with brussels sprouts and this cauliflower risotto…
Salutations™!! Today is the 43rd anniversary of Paul McCartney & Wings’ Wings at the Speed of Sound album. It has a slew of great songs on it. Most people play this tune off as, well… “silly.” I like it, maybe in spite of that fact. I don’t know. But, here is a cover by a band…
Salutations™!! It’s the end of the month and the end of the quarter. That means that funds are a bit tight. Our haul is very short this week, but we have a vast back catalog of recent arrivals that we went through. The sun was out, Underdog Records had their $1 albums outside, the day was…
Salutations™!! Today is the 46th anniversary of Roxy Music’s second album For Your Pleasure. It is #394 on the RS list. This is Jack Hiko doing a cover of one of the album’s tunes. Watching him and his facial expressions are worth the watch if for nothing else. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out!…
Salutations™!! This is going to be super short. A friend of mine sent this to me and I posted it on my Instagram. It’s a great joke and isn’t anywhere near true, but it does make you wonder why people get into vinyl like we do. I’ll write up a good explanation at another time….
