Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Yesterday, The BCPF and I got to go to Underdog Records for the first time in around three weeks. We made up for it by getting a lot of records and listening to a lot of records before we went to have dinner with friends. Jonathan is ramping up for Record Store Day Black…
Salutations™!! I know I said that I was done with these, but I had to write about something, right? Today is the 44th anniversary of the release of KISS’ Dressed to Kill album.
