Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 5/30/20

Salutations™!! YES! You read that correctly. The “haul” and not the “listen.” I haven’t decided yet if I’ll put what I’ve listened to in the last week. You’ll know by the time the end of this blog post happens. So, back to what this means. It means that Underdog Records is back open! It also…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Kissing Baboons

Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of Peter Gabriel’s third self-titled solo album which fans have gone to calling “Melt” because it looks like half his face is melting. It has one of my favorite PG songs on it and I want to do my own cover of it someday (plus it has the awesome…

Now Normal Chronicle or: It’s Private

Salutations™!! Today is the 36th anniversary of Tina Turner’s Private Dancer album. There was a lot I could have played from this album but I went with this. The singer in this video kind of seems like she’s a bit burnt out. I don’t know, but it’s entertaining. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out!…

Now Normal Chronicle or: Reasons to Believe

Salutations™!! Today is the 49th anniversary of Rod Stewart’s third album, Every Picture Tells a Story. I’ve always had a nonchalant attitude toward Stewart. I don’t mind him but don’t usually go looking for him, either. I liked his poppier-ended stuff that came in the 80s best. Anyway, this is a great tune and a great…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Freewheelin’

Salutations™!! Today is the anniversary of a few albums. Mike Oldfield’s Crises (37), Neil Young’s American Stars ‘N Bars and Dixie Dregs’s Free Fall (both 43), Paul McCartney & Wings’s Venus And Mars (45), and perhaps, at least to me, Bob Dylan’s The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, which is 57 today. I’ve stated many, many times that Dylan is…

Now Normal Chronicles or: The Screw Up

Salutations™!! So, yesterday I said it was the 33rd anniversary of The Cure’s Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me album. Well, I was wrong. That anniversary is today. So to make up for it, I decided that today I was going to do one from yesterday. Yesterday was the 37th anniversary of Dio’s debut album, Holy…

Memorial or: Kiss Me x 3

Salutations™!! First of all, here’s to remembering all who sacrificed everything to ensure that I can write this blog day after day, argue or agree with people, talk on my podcasts, have my cake and eat it too. Happy Memorial Day, y’all. Also, today is the 33rd anniversary of The Cure’s Kiss Me, Kiss Me,…

Spinning Sunday or: The Listen 5/23/20

Salutations™!! Another Saturday passes that we didn’t get to darken the door of Underdog Records. That doesn’t mean Underdog isn’t busy. Heck no! Jonathan is running himself ragged to make deliveries and has extended the reach to Greensboro, High Point and other places. So, definitely watch the Underdog Records Facebook and Instagram and watch what…

Sounds Like Saturday or: The Fall of the Dynasty

Salutations™!! Today is the 41st anniversary of KISS’ Dynasty album. I have, of course, written about it before. You can actually read my account of it here. Since it’s a “Sounds Like Saturday” post, I’ll just post a tune. Hahbahdat? This is one of my faves on the album and it’s from before Paul lost his…

Now Normal Chronicles or: A Day Late

Salutations™!! Yesterday, I was slammed with a lot of stuff and I did the video when I should have written a post about my nephew’s birthday. I didn’t forget about the birthday because I actually saw and talked to him and even gave him a birthday hug. I just forgot to post about it. It…
