Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 6/29/19

Salutations™!! Whilst our early routine was the same, we had to rearrange our afternoon routine because I got The BCPF a massage to help her with a neck problem she was having. But, we finally got home after the massage and the record-buying from Underdog Records (of course) and got some quality time with a…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Andromida With an I

Salutations™!! Today is the 51st anniversary of Pink Floyd’s second album A Saucerful of Secrets. I still haven’t gotten it (fully) on vinyl. The Record Store Day version that I got is one of a handful that was pressed with the wrong first side master. So, I have some EDM tune on side one and side…

Sparking the Ember or: Vinyltastic

Salutations™!! After a few too many years of being gone from WSNC, Ember Audio + Design is back and tonight was their first PVD night in the new space. PVD means Public Vinyl Demo and it’s basically a listening party. I never got to go to any of the ones they did when they were…

Can You Be a Vagabond in a Car? or: Less Than Normal

Salutations™!! It was a weird week for me as far as podcasting goes. Of the five TLD Network shows, only The Less Desirables was recorded, although we may pull off a Fan Interference tomorrow, we’ll see. But, it was a good episode of The Less Desirables. Charyl Ann Lipstreu was in the studio and we…

Bourdain Day or: Missing You

Salutations™!! It was a few weeks ago (June 8) that was the one year anniversary of the death of Anthony Bourdain. Today would have been his 63rd birthday. He was The BCPF’s and my favorite “celebrity chef.” It was more than just the food. It was his no-frills attitude. His I don’t care if you…

Milling Monday or: Blvd

Salutations™!! Today is the 39th anniversary of Jackson Browne’s Hold Out album. It’s surprising that it’s the only album of his to reach #1. That didn’t mean that the critics loved it, though. In fact, the response was tepid at best. In looking for a cover, it seemed it’s not something that people do a lot…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 6/22/19

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I did a little jumbling around yesterday. We actually started at Underdog Records instead of it being the last stop of the morning. We had a ribbon cutting at Moji Coffee and More at noon and then had breakfast at Mary’s Gourmet Diner, our first time there in about six months….

Music Review

Sounds Like Saturday or: Blue

Salutations™!! Today is the 28th anniversary of Joni Mitchell’s Blue. It’s #30 on the RS list. It’s a great album, although I’ll admit I can only take so much Joni at one time. Again, a great album. Usually, I try to find a cover of a song from the album but here’s a lovely young lady…

The 5-1 or: I Never Promised

Salutations™!! Today Mes ‘Rents are celebrating their 51st wedding anniversary. Of course, I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for these two so I celebrate them, too. Ma Mère said I couldn’t post this picture but I never promised I wouldn’t. Besides, it’s a GREAT picture of them. So, join with me and raise a…
