Useless Things Need Love Too

Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer

Month: October 2019

Halloweenie or: Meh

Salutations™!! I used to love Halloween. I mean, really love it. I called it my favorite holiday. According to which definition of “holiday” you use, it may or may not be an actual holiday. Wikipedia describes a holiday in the US: the word is used exclusively to refer to the nationally, religiously or culturally observed…

Here We Go Again or: Shhh… It’s a Secret

Salutations™!! I’m about resolved to the fact that I have been and will continue to write a lot about music and post videos. I am a fan of music, I love talking and writing about music, and I eat, breathe and sleep music. Podcasting may be my profession but at one time I wanted to…

Pleasuredome or: Just… Relax

Salutations™!! Today is the 35th anniversary of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Welcome to the Pleasuredome album. I had written something completely different for this but I found a video of a reunited FGTH video from 2004 and couldn’t pass it up, even if Holly Johnson didn’t participate. “Two Tribes” was always my favorite song on the…

A Rebuttal or: The Piggyback

Salutations™!! Today we recorded The Man Who Ate the Town and published The Beer Dads. The Beer Dads podcast was about what happens when a surprise comes from your college-aged son (and no, not a preggers scare).  You can hear that HERE. On TMWATT I had to do a rebuttal to an email/comment that someone…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 10/26/19

Salutations™!! Yesterday, The BCPF and I got to go to Underdog Records for the first time in around three weeks. We made up for it by getting a lot of records and listening to a lot of records before we went to have dinner with friends. Jonathan is ramping up for Record Store Day Black…

Spinning Sunday

Sounds Like Saturday or: The Busker.I.Am

Salutations™!! Yesterday I had a meeting in downtown WSNC and on my way, I observed a busker on the street and she sounded really good. Buskers in this town, which is, by the way, the supposed “City of Arts and Innovation,” have gotten a bad rap. We want to push art but only the art we…

Just Like This Week or: Still, Still Crazy

Salutations™!! Today is the 44th anniversary of Paul Simon’s Still Crazy After All These Years. The BCPF and I both love this album and we both love Paul Simon. This girl’s voice is pretty. That’s it. Pretty. She does a great job. Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “I met my old lover on…

To Hell With the Devil or: Dang Robert!

Salutations™!! Today is the 33rd anniversary of my favorite Stryper album. Yeah, Stryper, that Christian hard rock band that around this time looked like a “group of girls” as my pops said once. This album was polished and slick. It was commercial and somewhat cheesy, but I wore out a whole cassette, misused the CD…

Wake Me Up or: Makin’ It Big

Salutations™!! I apologize for all the videos but this week has been slammed busy and I’ve not had time to do much as far as writing goes. But, today is the 35th anniversary of Make It Big by Wham! It was the second album by George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley but it was the first to…

Hotter Than Hell Again or: Still a Great One

Salutations™!! Today is the 45th anniversary of one of my favorite KISS albums, Hotter Than Hell. I liked my writeup from last year and I’m reposting it. … It is one of my faves, for sure. It was one of the first albums I ever got in the 70s and it was one of two…
