Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Tomorrow is the start of Yule and today is the Winter Solstice. So, I figured I’d pick something about that. New releases are slim this time of year and it seems that’s always been that way. So, enjoy this! And happy Yule. Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “Many present-day Christmas customs…

Salutations™!! Remember when you used to do the #FF on Twitter just a few years back? It stood for Follow Friday or Friend Friday (according to who you asked) and as far as I can tell, no one really does that any longer and whilst I’ll admit I was slack on that on Twitter, I…
Salutations™!! Who has cool landlords? Well, I do. Today when I got to the studio, that’s the Lab at Industry Hill, had left a large box from Dewey’s Bakery in the lobby for my “Lab Partners” and me. A big box of sweet delicious treats. Pastries, eclairs, cream horns, tarts, turnovers, cake squares. I mean, dang!!…
Salutations™!! I’ve been catching up on my Disney+ watching. And, beyond The Mandalorian and the Imagineering docuseries, I’ve been doing the animated features. I’m doing the Disney branded ones first and then I’ll do the Pixar ones. So, I started with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and will go to Frozen II (as I have stated). The…
Salutations™!! Today is the 48th anniversary of David Bowie’s classic album, Hunky Dory. I love this album and it was a great time for Bowie.

Asian BBQ is being replaced with Taqueria Luciano, which will be owned and operated by…
Salutations™!! Like the last few weeks, The BCPF had the day off on Friday and we went to Underdog Records a day early. We got some good stuff and I’m going to share that with you, now! Michael Kiwanuka – Kiwanuka — I first heard pieces of this album when I was making the commercial for Underdog…
Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of The Clash’s apex album (at least to me), London Calling. 40 years, wow. I never cared much about them until I did the RS list. I looked for a good cover and after having good hopes for a couple of high school garage bands led to much disappointment, I…

Salutations™!! I’m finally starting to really clear up from all my crap the last weeks. There’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel. I talked a good bit today so I’m a bit hoarse still but that’s getting better, as well. I was able to sing a little today which has definitely been…
