Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer

Month: March 2019

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul?

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…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Detar Music Studio

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…

Exhaustion of a Different Kind or: VO Yo

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…

The Piggyback’s Piggyback or: Dinner Guest

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…

You Take It With You or: Suitcase

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…

Ooh That Smell or: Evil Green

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…

At the Speed of Sound or: That’s Just Silly

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…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 3/23/19

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…

Sounds Like Saturday or: For Your Pleasure

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!…

The Pops and Cracks or: My Vinyl Life

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….
