Salutations™!!

It was 10 years ago, at the end of a perfect day, on a boat, under fireworks in the “Most Magical Place on Earth,” Walt Disney World, that I asked the woman that I love, my everything, my The BCPF to be my bride. She said yes and we spent the next six days celebrating in Disney style and WDW was very much willing to participate. We got buttons that said we were engaged and everywhere we went, Cast Members (Disney’s name for their employees) came from all directions to congratulate us. We got free desserts, preferential seating, and more. It was like we were royalty. Truth be known, we feel like we’re still celebrating and are royalty.

So, we have now been through two of the four main anniversaries we celebrate each year. The first was the “dating anniversary” on July 21, and now this one. The next one isn’t until September, but like I said, we celebrate every day. I do so love that woman as I have stated ad nauseum but I won’t stop saying it or proving it! Yay, us, Stephanie!!! I want to celebrate this for many, many, many, many years to come!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

Tonight, my Kousins and I talked about the debut W.A.S.P. album. It’s not KISS and other than them opening for KISS during two tours, have nothing to do with KISS. It was just something different to do. You can listen to that here.

Salutations™!!

This week on The Less Desirables, Tracy, Bethany and I didn’t have a guest, so we just sat around and shot the breeze, talked about the good things going on and vented about the bad things. We were going to do some Pod Deck cards or some other games but we had fun conversing. Listen here.

Salutations™!!

On The Beer Dads last night, we talked about the Cleveland Indians changing their name starting next season. We talk about the Washington Football Team doing that but being much less efficient at doing it. We get in the weeds about how money rules everything, which it does. It’s an interesting conversation. Check it out here.

This week, the city lost a restaurant that has grown to become a staple. We lost Crafted – Art of the Taco. We talk about that on TMWATT podcast. I also review The BCPF’s and my trip to Raku Ramen and a lot more. You can hear that episode here.

The BCPF and I did some shopping and, of course, records yesterday. The haul was short, though. Here it is:

©Yep Roc Records

King’s X – Tape Head — This is from 1998. It was one of the RSD rereleases and it’s Limited Edition, Numbered, PINK vinyl. There were only 2500 of these printed. This one that I have is #102 out 2500. That’s low! Record Store Day 2021 Release, Limited to 2500. RSD Sticker on Front says “First Time on Vinyl! Exclusive Numbered Edition on PINK WAX” Thanks to Bob S for getting this for me after camping all night. New.

King’s X – Manic Moonlight — This was from September 2001. Limited Edition, Numbered, Reissue, Remastered, Orange Neon vinyl. This was #1366 out of 2500. Not as low. Hype sticker: “FIRST TTIME ON VINYL! Exclusive numbered edition on NEON ORANGE WAX” New. Thanks again to Bob S.

Gregory Alan Isakov – Evening Machines — This is someone that The BCPF hears on her Pandora channel all the time. She decided she liked it and wanted it. Okay. New.

Grant Lee Phillips – Widdershins — Grant Lee Phillips played the Troubadour on the television show, The Gilmore Girls, of which The BCPF and I are big fans. This is a great album. He sounds a little like Jakob Dylan. It’s good stuff. New.

Watch Underdog Records’ social media and see what Jonathan has just gotten in and is putting up for sale. You can buy new records 24/7 by visiting the Underdog Records website. I use Discogs to track my collection and you should, too!

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…

Listening to BWV Daily this morning (hint hint here), we found out that today is the 20th anniversary of Cake’s Comfort Eagle album. I don’t know much about Cake at all, but I know I like this song and I especially like these kids doing it. That front man is awesome. This was posted in 2013, I’d like to see what he’s doing these days. Enjoy!

“I want a girl with a mind like a diamond. I want a girl who knows what’s best. I want a girl with shoes that cut and eyes that burn like cigarettes. I want a girl with the right allocations. Who’s fast and thorough and sharp as a tack. She’s playing with her jewelry, she’s putting up her hair. She’s touring the facility and picking up slack.” – “Short Skirt/Long Jacket” (McCrea)

Today is the 37th anniversary of Sammy Hagar’s VOA album. You would have known that had you listened to the BWV Daily this morning (you can do that here). Best known for the song with the video here, it’s a good album all the way through. It’s 1980s hard rock, it’s 1980s Sammy. But, it’s a good listen. I chose this video because it’s a good version, and hey, we get to see the great Eddie Van Halen in action. I think this is a better version than the Live Without a Net video. So, there. Enjoy!

KISSin’ or: Kousins Make a List

Salutations™!!

On Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast tonight, the Kousins made their own fantasy list of what a KISS MY A$$ II (Again, Once More, etc.) would look like. Actually, two of the Kousins got one entry (both artist and song) the same. They must be related. They actually got two matches but one was only an honorable mention so you choose to count that or not. For those of you not familiar with what I’m talking about, KISS My A$$ was a KISS tribute album that was actually put together by KISS, at least who got to do what on the album. So, if there was another one made this is how we’d want it to look. If you’re a KISS fan, who would you want to see or hear do KISS songs? Gimme about 10-15 entries. And… GO!

Listen to that episode here. And today’s BWVD here.
