Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 10/23/21 (2549+8)

Salutations™!! Yesterday, The BCPF and I went around the world! Well, we went to some international stores and pubs. I’ll talk about that tomorrow. We also went to Underdog Records and got some goodies. Here’s the haul: Death Cab For Cutie – Plans — I asked Jonathan about this a few weeks back and he said it…

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….

Sounds Like Saturday or: I Was So Much Older Then

Salutations™!! Today is the 54th anniversary of The Byrd’s Younger Than Yesterday album. This song contains one of my all-time favorite tunes, and this is me playing that. A couple of things here. Yes, it’s a Bob Dylan cover. But, like most Bob Dylan songs, I like them way better when someone else does them….

Sounds Like Saturday or: Wood to the Rescue

Salutations™!! I’ll end my week of Live Aid memories with something kind of funny and cool. Bob Dylan performed “Blowin’ in the Wind” with Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood and in the middle of the song, Dylan broke a string. Ronnie took his guitar off and handed it to Dylan. I mean, that’s a true…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Freewheelin’

Salutations™!! Today is the anniversary of a few albums. Mike Oldfield’s Crises (37), Neil Young’s American Stars ‘N Bars and Dixie Dregs’s Free Fall (both 43), Paul McCartney & Wings’s Venus And Mars (45), and perhaps, at least to me, Bob Dylan’s The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, which is 57 today. I’ve stated many, many times that Dylan is…

Spinning Sunday or: Now Normal Chronicle Edition

Salutations™!! You’d think in this time of “self-isolation” and “stay-at-home” and being surrounded by a lot of vinyl dreaminess that I’d have a lot of time to catch up on some listening. Yeah, you’d think that. But you’d be incorrect. See, the thing is, while I am home working, so is The BCPF. We work…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 3/7/20

Salutations™!! Early to rise and out the door. The BCPF and I went to Young Cardinal Cafe (again) and had a fantastic breakfast. We then went to Underdog Records and got just a few records and came home to listen. It was a good day. Happy Daylight Saving Time. There’s the haul: Cowboy Junkies – The Caution…

Spinning (albeit not much) Sunday or: The Grab

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I didn’t go to Underdog Records last week because Jonathan was on vacation. We didn’t go this week because I was at Pride from 8a until 7p yesterday. And, we haven’t really gotten to listen to many albums because we’ve been slammed both weekends and during the week. But, we got…

Sounds Like Saturday or: The Haul 7/13/19

Salutations™!! Yesterday was a good day. The BCPF and I got up “early” and went to breakfast, then we ran to get a replacement battery for her phone and then headed to Underdog Records for some wax delights. We got some good stuff. It seems that the haul was slanted slightly toward The BCPF and…
