Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today, I learned some very sad news. Finnigan’s Wake will be closing its doors permanently on October 30. Finnigan’s Wake is THE reason the Arts District in Downtown Winston-Salem exploded in to ’00s. Yes, there were other now-staples such as Sweet Potatoes and 6th & Vine, but none had the impact that Fins did….

Salutations™!! My regular network group that meets on Friday mornings took the week off since it is the holiday weekend. I didn’t know what to do with myself. Well, I kind of did. I had a session yesterday morning and before that, I tried to “get ahead” by working on the Beeswax Vinyl Daily for…
Salutations™!! Today, July 1, 2021, there is a new podcast on The Less Desirables Podcast Network. I alluded to it earlier this week that I was going to announce something. I mentioned that anyone who reads this blog often would recognize it. That may or may not be the case now, as I called an…
Salutations™!! I’ve been saying, at least for the last couple of years, that I had around 1300-1400 podcast episodes under my belt. I figured that was being generous to myself. Today, I got a wild hair and went through all my archives of the podcasts I had accumulated and counted through them, worked out some…

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” —…

Salutations™!! Today I get to celebrate a holiday that many celebrate now but when I started there were a lot fewer. Today is International Podcast Day. I have mentioned before that I have been podcasting longer than probably 98% people in the area and probably that much or more continuously. I started podcasting in 2007…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was an epic day for podcasting for me. I recorded The Man Who Ate the Town (listen here), The Less Desirables (releasing tomorrow), Beeswax Vinyl & More (listen here) and The Beer Dads (listen here). Then, I “produced” Wheeler’s Dog today. Thursday I will do Fan Interference. So, other than Apartment 5B and…

Salutations™!! As has been the case for the last month, we haven’t really gotten anything new because Underdog Records is affected just like everything else in the world right now. So, in the spirit of “normalcy,” or the “Now Normal” that I call it, I used my listening time during the week hitting Discogs’ awesome…
