Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Time for another Useless Things Podcast. I talk about the dreaded Snowmaggedon and the Steelers fun but heartstopping weekend. Superfan Damien comments on a discussion starter. You can hear my accounts of those subjects here. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Come on Yinz!” – Just about every Steelers fan.
Salutations™!! The holiday break was over! The BCPF and I went to breakfast, got our hair cut and went to Underdog Records. It was so good being back in the “candy store.” Our haul was slim but I feel we got good stuff. Here’s the haul: Whitesnake – Slip Of The Tongue — 2×LP, Album, Deluxe Edition,…
Salutations™!! Today would have been Elvis’ 87th and David Bowie’s 75th birthdays. It IS my dad’s 74th birthday. I never really connected to Elvis’s music. It was slightly before my time. I do, however, LOVE me some Bowie although it took me a while to realize that. There are some slow spots in my Bowie…
Salutations™!! You’ll notice that last Sunday I didn’t do a “Sunday” post. Or maybe you didn’t? I had nothing to say, didn’t go to Underdog Records (they were closed), and I was just recovering from the food and frolic that we had for Xmas Weekend. This is really the same but for New Year’s Day….
Salutations™!! I hope everyone was safe last night. It’s finally 2022 and we can hope that this year is an amazing one for everyone. Here’s a great song from the Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle album. Let’s hope this is the truth. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“And I won’t forget the way you held…

Salutations!™!! On this week’s Useless Things podcast, I talked about Christmas songs and how Xmas is a proper substitute for Christmas and in some ways even more appropriate. But, I especially talked about this song and the Mariah Carey song. Hear more by listening to that episode, but here is one of my favorite groups…
Salutations™!! I have been so far off in la-la land this week (because I’m on “vacation”) that after I recorded a new podcast on Monday, I forgot to post about it here, where more people can see and hear it. Tsk tsk… So this episode is all about Christmas stuff… music, movies, food, “Xmas,” etc….
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I started vacation yesterday and we went into Underdog Records to pick up an album that Jonathan had put back for us. We wanted to change things up a bit. Breakfast, some wine, used book store, etc. So, here’s the one record we got: Lambchop – I Hope You’re Sitting Down — Of…

Salutations™!! I apologize Dear Reader (and Dear Listener) for not having a podcast the last two weeks. I have been so busy doing the Beeswax Vinyl Daily podcast to prepare for this week that I haven’t really experienced anything, watched anything new, heard anything, done anything. Why this week? Well, with the exception of Monday,…

Salutations™!! Yesterday was a palindrome. Did you know that? 121121. Our day was weird because I had to spend half of it in the studio working on video set up and Zoom and all kinds of craziness that just wasn’t working the way I wanted/needed. My cousin, Gary or Kousin Gary on the Asylum –…
