Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is February 29 and being as we only see that date once every four years, it’s understandable that the pickings are slim to find releases for it. So, I picked one from yesterday, where I had to choose between U2’s War and this. Yesterday was the 36th anniversary of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s In 3-D. It…
Salutations™!! This week has been awesome and it has kicked my butt! I have more butt-kicking to do tomorrow, too. I came home after some early work and crashed. In fact, I took a bit of a nap and that’s very unlike me. So, today is the 37th anniversary of U2’s third album, War. #223 on the…
Salutations™!! I wanted to take a few words to talk about the newest podcast on The Less Desirables Podcast Network. My pal, Eugene, who has been one of my besties, probably the bestie for the last 25 years and who was a former co-host with me on The Less Desirables, and author of the award-winning blog, Wheeler’s…
Salutations™!! So, yesterday was the end of the “Big Job 2020.” A refresher here: the big job is always the videos and voice-overs for the Downtown Winston-Salem Partnership’s Annual Excellence Awards. The Excellence Awards are always at the annual meeting of the DWSP in February and highlights companies, businesses, people and events that made a…
Salutations™!! So, I made it all the way through the “Big Job” today. Still, my brain is mush and I am doing music videos. Today is the 35th anniversary of one of my favorite albums from the 80s, Tears For Fears’ Songs From The Big Chair and this is one of my all-time favorite songs. This…
Salutations™!! I was in my studio this morning at 715a and with the exception of about 35 minutes, was in there until 515p. I was working on a political ad for TV and online as well as The Man Who Ate the Town. Add the “Big Job” and I’m worn out. Tomorrow is the “big…
Salutations™!! After missing a week of visiting Jonathan at Underdog Records, The BCPF and I made up for it. I went on Thursday and we both went on Friday. I missed having new records in my hands and flipping through the inventory. Here’s the haul: Best Coast – Always Tomorrow — I heard this when I was…
Salutations™!! Today is the 34th anniversary of my favorite Ozzy album, The Ultimate Sin. I understand that Ozzy purists will slam that album as polished and over-produced and yeah, it may have been. Or, it may not have been. The biggest complaint the Oz-man himself had was the production. Ron Nevison is revered as a producer but…
Salutations™!! I think I’ve gotten through the “big project” and I’m just waiting to hear if there were any edits that needed to be made from what I submitted. But, today is the 52nd anniversary of Blood Sweat & Tears’ Child Is Father to the Man album. It’s #266 on the RS list and going back…
Salutations™!! Today is the 36th anniversary of the debut, self-titled Smiths album. The world was introduced to probably one of the most miserable people ever in Morrissey. This version of this song is really good and I think he sings it better than Ol’ Steve (Steven Patrick Morrissey) did. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel……
