Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 5/29/21
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I got to Underdog Records right after opening and Jonathan and De had spent the week rearranging the store, so we had to get our bearings but it was cool to see the change. We had a beer tour with The Joneses last night so we only got one album in…
Sounds Like Saturday or: Isn’t That Suite?
Salutations™!! Today is the 52nd anniversary of the self-titled debut album by Crosby, Stills & Nash. That album has a shload of fantastic tunes. It is #262 on the RS list that matters and #161 on the one that doesn’t, however I think the second one has it more accurate. This is a great cover,…
Now Normal Chronicles or: Six Feet Tall
Salutations™!! Today is the 30th anniversary of Johnny Marr’s (Smiths) and Bernard Sumner’s (Joy Division/New Order) collaboration debut, Electronic which was the band’s name, too. I had never heard of this until The BCPF told me about it. But, here it is. There were several covers but I thought this from 2019 was a good…
Now Normal Chronicles or: It’s Alright
Salutations™!! Today is the 58th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s second studio album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. I have never been a Dylan fan but I think that was all his later electric stuff and the live stuff where he’s always shouting. I say he writes great songs but I’d rather hear someone else sing them….
The Other Piggyback or: Woo Woo Woo
Salutations™!! On The Less Desirables this evening, we had Beth Blair and Jay McNulty of the new Honu Global. As explained on their website: After many years in various careers, we decided to share our creativity and experience. Our passion for creating beautiful things is unbounded and we express them in our work and offer…
Now Normal Chronicles or: Holy Smokes!
Salutations™!! Today is the 38th anniversary of Dio’s debut album, Holy Diver. I have never been a huge Dio fan, but I appreciate and respect what the band, and Ronnie James Dio, too, did for the metal genre. I like RJD’s stuff, I just don’t go seeking it out. Anywhat! Here’s a good version of…
Piggyback or: 200!
Salutations™!! Today, we recorded the 200th episode of The Man Who Ate the Town podcast. Five years plus and still going! Latest restaurant news and views! Listen here. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“
Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 5/22/21
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I took her brother and her mother to eat the night before at Diamondback Grill to celebrate my MIL’s 80th birthday. Her brother came along with us on Saturday to do some record shopping at Underdog Records, eat breakfast/lunch at Clementine’s and we gave a tour of parts of the town…
Sounds Like Saturday or: Long and Cold
Salutations™!! This week we celebrated (or we didn’t and I just said we did) the 33rd anniversary of Cinderella’s sophomore effort, Long Cold Winter. I liked it. I liked the debut better, I think. This was probably their biggest hit and with it you get a bonus from that debut album. Keifer sounds good, too….
