Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Yeah, I know this is Friday and in the last bit I’ve done a “Friend Friday” post but I didn’t have time to write a long and thoughtful post today. But, I am going to talk briefly about my Google Voice number again. We want to take listeners’ calls and texts for all the…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was the 38th anniversary of Huey Lewis and the News’ second album, Picture This. This is my favorite song on the album but it wasn’t written by the band. It was written by Robert John “Mutt” Lange. As far as the band covering it their harmonies are dead on and impressive, but the…
Salutations™!! Tonight on The Less Desirables we had some live music. We had Jukebox Rehab and they gave us a mini-concert with a good bit of country music and it’s more along the lines of the late-80s to mid-90s kind of country, not that “bro-country” crap that you hear today. I really don’t like that…
Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of J. Geils Band’s Love Stinks. I think it was done best by Adam Sandler in The Wedding Singer, but hey this band does it justice. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “You love her but she loves him. And he loves somebody else. You just can’t win….
Salutations™!! I was never a fan of the Lakers. I wasn’t a Kobe fan, either. But, I respected him and I understand what he was for the league. It was such a surreal moment yesterday when the news came in. 3B sent me a text because he follows a lot of sports. So, this is…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I had a great listening day yesterday. We got by Underdog Records and grabbed a good bit of stuff and came back and listened. It was really a great listen. Okay, here’s the haul: Wolf Parade – Thin Mind — Great Canadian band out of Montreal and on the Sub Pop label. Good…
Salutations™!! Today is the 26th anniversary of what I consider to be Alice In Chains’ most melodic album, the EP Jar Of Flies. I like Dirt better, overall, but this does have some fantastic tunes. It’s Mike Inez’s first album with the band after Mike Starr’s dismissal for drug use, which I think is a…
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™!! I’m running late this evening so I’m going to talk about one of my favorite bands but not necessarily my favorite stuff they do. Today is the 43rd anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Animals album. I love everything about the album except the album. I really like hits and this is bereft of those. Some…
Salutations™!! I haven’t caught you up on my Disney+ watching. I told you I had been watching all the True Life Adventures stuff and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian. And, I said I was watching all the animated features from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Frozen II (which may be expanded to Spies In…
