Spinning Monday or: The Haul 2/13/21

Salutations™!! Moving the Haul to today so I could rant yesterday. You know how it is, Dear Reader. Saturday was a good day. Breakfast, Underdog Records, records listening, dinner, binge watching The Crown and Will & Grace. Here’s the haul, I think we got good stuff: Nat King Cole – Nat King Cole Golden Treasury “Unforgettable” —…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Walking All Over

Salutations™!! Today is the 41st anniversary of AC/DC’s Highway to Hell. It was the last one with Bon Scott who died about seven months later. This was before I got into AC/DC. Well, truly I never really got into AC/DC although I like some of the stuff. One of the first bands (that I count) that…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Back Black Back

Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of one of the most powerful hard rock albums of all time (at least to me), AC/DC’s Back In Black. It was a statement from the band that had lost its frontman, the voice, Bon Scott. Brian Johnson had big shoes to fill and fill them he did. To me,…

Spinning Sunday or: The Listens 4/25/20

Salutations™!! Dear sweet baby [enter deity here], please let this be over soon. If for no other reason, I want to get back to Underdog Records, see Jonathan and buy vinyl goodness. Amen. You know my religion is “non-Prophet” so that was really just symbolic. However, the sentiment is exact and true. I want to…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 12/26/19

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I made our way to Underdog Record for the first time in over a week the day after Christmas. I couldn’t go any longer. We had put together our fifth record case and had shifted the whole collection around and now it was time to get more records! I think we…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Lzzy Salutes You

Salutations™!! Today is the 38th anniversary of AC/DC’s For Those About to Rock We Salute You album. It was the follow up to Back In Black, probably their best-selling album, the first to feature Brian Johnson and the first after Bon Scott’s death. This was produced by “Mutt” Lange, as was the two previous. I’m not a…

Spinning Monday or: The Haul 7/20/19

Salutations™!! So, yes, I’m a day late with this because I had to talk about something more important yesterday. But, here we are today. Let’s just get right into it. Alice In Chains – Dirt — One of my top 20 albums of all time. Front-to-back a fantastic album. Heavy and melodic. Deep and full of drug references…

KISS Off! or: Are You Sirius?

Salutations™!! This will be brief but I just wanted to say that I found the absolute best SiriusXM channel, ever. It is called KISS Army Radio and it is 95% KISS and 5% their influences or bands that may have opened for them, like Rush, AC/DC, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, etc. I found…

Welcome to the Show or: Many Kisses (Part 4)

Salutations™!! The month of September is a huge month for KISS fans, even if they don’t know it. Why you may ask? Because the month of September is the anniversary month for the releases of TEN KISS albums. I’ve talked about Alive!, Animalize, Asylum, Paul, Gene, Ace, Peter, Lick It Up and Crazy Nights. Here’s the last one for September. It’s one…

Silent Sunday or: The Haul 12/16/17

Salutations™!!   It was a beautiful but chilly day in downtown WSNC. The BCPF and I really enjoyed being out and about. We did our normal routine stuff but added a trip to the Krankie’s Craft Fair. We saw some cool things, bought a few small items from local craftsfolk and of course, went to…
