Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a good day. It was oddly long in the morning/early afternoon. The BCPF and I only got about three records listened to. Weird. But, we got to stop in and see Jonathan and our buddy M. Hoch and had a delicious breakfast at our new favorite breakfast/brunch place, Clementine’s Gourmet Toast and…
Salutations™!! Today is the 36th anniversary of the US version of Sade’s debut album, Diamond Life. Some may not know that Sade is not only the name of the singer (Sade Adu) but also the entire band. There is no more a sultry voice than Sade. I love her. Whew… I love this song, too….
Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of Judas Priest’s seventh studio album, Point of Entry. It was the follow-up to British Steel which many consider their breakthrough album. Here’s Stone Sour doing their version of this tune. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Well, I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. You…
Salutations™!! Today is the 36th anniversary of one of my Top Ten favorite albums of all time, Songs from the Big Chair from Tears for Fears. I love this album. I love everything about this album. I love the cover. I love the songs. I love Roland Orzabal. I love Curt Smith. I love it…
Salutations™! Today is the 46th anniversary of Led Zeppelin’s sixth studio album, a double, Physical Graffiti. I really enjoy this album. It’s not my favorite Zep album but it’s not my least, either. What I do find interesting is how much of it is rehashed throwaways from previous albums. Especially when I see which are…
Salutations™!! Yesterday is the 41st anniversary of the debut album by Orchestral Manoeuvers in the Dark or OMD. Yes, I spelled Manoeuvers correctly. They’re British. I love this synth-pop stuff. It’s just fun. I picked this because it was recorded on my 49th birthday. Enjoy! I don’t know my steps because I’m doing this in…
Salutations™!! Today is the 35th anniversary of my favorite Ozzy Osbourne album, The Ultimate Sin. Yes, I know it’s not his “best.” I know it’s basically the pariah of all Ozzy albums, but it was my first listen, ever of solo Ozzy. Actually, I didn’t even know that Ozzy was the singer in Black Sabbath…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I each got our hair cut yesterday. We went to the same person and we just took turns with Cynthia Pratt-Miller at Hair Bomb Hair Salon which is conveniently directly beside Underdog Records! Having Mojito for lunch was delicious but dang! It was cold on that patio. Yesterday was a mild…
Salutations™!! Today is the 37th anniversary of The Smiths’ debut self-titled album. I hated The Smiths when I first heard them. But, I have grown to love them, regardless of Morrissey’s self-loathing disposition. This song wasn’t on the UK version of the vinyl album. It was on the US version and world-wide on cassette and…
Salutations™!! Today is the 50th anniversary of Yes’ third album, The Yes Album. Prog rock at its finest. If you like long-arsed songs, you will like this. This is a composite video and they do a great job of it. Enjoy! I got 3301 steps today. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Take a straight…
