Now Normal Chronicles or: A Big Disease with a Little Name

Salutations™!! Today is the 34th anniversary of Prince’s acclaimed double album Sign O’The Times. The album has some lighter moments in the typical Prince style but the title track is a bit profound. I love Jerry Chapman’s (yes THAT Jerry Chapman) cover on his Rumors of My Death album. But, because I like to have…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Not a Van Halen Cover

Salutations™!! Today is the 55th anniversary (US) of The Kinks’ The Kinks Kontroversy album. I truly am not a huge fan of The Kinks so I know just a little. That doesn’t mean I don’t like them, I just am not that familiar with them. But this album has this song that most 70s and…

Now Normal Chronicles or: A Breakfast Goodbye

Salutations™!! Today is the 42nd anniversary of one of my all time favorite albums, Breakfast in America by Supertramp. So many good songs on this album and not just the “hits.” Of course, the hits are fantastic and I chose this one because, as I’ve said, I love composite vids. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 3/27/21

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I had a full plate of activities to do yesterday. We went to a farmers market. We ate lunch. We went to Underdog Records. We went to The Butcher’s Block, a new butcher shop in downtown. We listened, we stayed in for dinner. I cooked a fantastic “charcuterie” board of wild…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Suckas

Salutations™!! Today is the 37th anniversary of Run-D.M.C.’s debut self-titled album. It’s #242 on the RS list that matters, #378 on the one that doesn’t. It’s possibly one the most important of all hip-hop/rap albums. It debuted the group that would make rap mainstream. Sure there was some of the classics like Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Love. It Walks In

Salutations™!! This week marks the 35th anniversary of the first Van Hagar album, 5150. It is my second favorite VH album, much to almost everyone’s chagrin. The only thing wrong with this video is whoever made it, doesn’t know music very well. When the solo kicks in, they should have focused on the guitar player….

Now Normal Chronicles or: B.I.G.

Salutations™!! Today is the 24th anniversary of Notorious B.I.G.’s Life After Death album. Christopher Wallace was cut down too soon. Any life lost is too soon, but this was tragic. I don’t cover enough hip-hop/rap on this blog. Here’s a couple of blokes doing a live version. I dig it. I hope you do. Until…

Now Normal Chronicles or: In My Shoes

Salutations™!! This week marks the 28th anniversary of Depeche Mode’s Songs of Faith and Devotion. It doesn’t have the mega hits the other DM had, but it has great songs. Like this one. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“I would tell you about the things they put me through, the pain I’ve been…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Lookin’ Sharp

Salutations™!! Today is the 38th anniversary of ZZ Top’s best album (in my opinion), Eliminator. It was the first time I ever heard of them. Yes, I know that is hard to believe but it’s true. This is a great version of this song. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Top coat, top hat….

Now Normal Chronicles or: Iron Maidens

Salutations™!! Today is the 39th anniversary of Iron Maiden’s The Number of the Beast album. It was the first to feature the awesome Bruce Dickenson on vocals. I think Paul Di’Anno is a good singer but he’s no Bruce Dickenson. I was never a fan of the band, but have grown to really dig them….
