Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is the 41st anniversary of Steve Winwood’s second solo album after leaving all the various supergroups he was part of. He’s considered a multi-instrumentalist, kind of the way Prince was and like the Purple One, Stevie Winwood played all the instruments on this album. That’s impressive. Here’s a finger-picking style guitarist covering the…
Salutations™!! So, there was this New Wave band in Canada called Rough Trade. I had never heard of them, that I know of, and since selections are kind of low right now, I looked into them. This is the 40th anniversary their third album for those who think young (the stylized way they put on…
Salutations™!! We’re still in the “we’re not putting out a lot of music at this time” phase of the year. It’s like the moon, it waxes and wanes. We’re in the waxing stages but it will take a week or so before things kick in. I’d say because of gift cards and such it will…
Salutations™!! I moved this to Monday because yesterday was Ma Mère’s birthday and I wanted to honor her. So, here we are today. The BCPF and I went to Underdog Records and ate at Willows for the first time in 287 days on Saturday. We came home and listened to records whilst watching football. Here’s…
Salutations™!! Today is my mother’s birthday. She doesn’t like a big deal made over her and hates pictures of her. So, I made sure to post one. Happy Birthday or Happy Solar Circumnavigational Anniversary Day to Ma Mère, the best mom in the world. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“My mother thinks I am…
Salutations™!! So, I’m breaking my rule of no Christmas songs after Christmas. This is a great version of this tune, and how I feel about Christmas year-round. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch. You’re a nasty-wasty skunk. Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full…

Salutations™!! Today is Christmas Eve. To me, that’s Christmas. It’s traditionally been when we do our thing. I prefer it to Christmas Day. So, Merry Christmas to all of you. And, while you’re at it, here’s some Kinks. Until tomorrow, Merry Christmas!Scorp out! —“The greatest Christmas song ever. Not only is it punk but it’s…
Salutations™!! Continuing my trip through rocking Christmas tunes, here’s a cool one from the Curled-Lipped-One, himself, Billy Idol. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet. Jingle around the clock. Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin’ feet. That’s the jingle bell rock.” – “Jingle Bell Rock” (Beal/Boothe)
Salutations™!! I love the Darkness, the band, that is. Justin Hawkins has such a unique voice. Some may think it is annoying, contrived, and a bunch of other adjectives, but I dig it. Since we’re touching on Christmas songs, let’s do one from them, shall we? We shall. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“I…
