Sounds Like Saturday or: A Star(Man) is Born

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…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Everything’s Hunky Dory

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,…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Love of the Modern Persuasion

Salutations™!! Today is the 38th anniversary of David Bowie’s Let’s Dance album. I love this album. “China Girl,” the title track, and this one are all on there. I like this busking group (I don’t think they’re buskers per se but they are busking here). Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Never going to…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 02/20/21

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I each got our hair cut yesterday. We went to the same person and we just took turns with Cynthia Pratt-Miller at Hair Bomb Hair Salon which is conveniently directly beside Underdog Records! Having Mojito for lunch was delicious but dang! It was cold on that patio. Yesterday was a mild…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Golden

Salutations™!! Today is the 45th anniversary of David Bowie’s Station To Station album. I’m not a huge fan of this era of Bowie. The Thin White Duke thing doesn’t do it for me. But, I like Bowie, so it made it. I am a sucker for looping. I have never tried it and think I’d…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Warszawa Low

Salutations™!! Today is the 44th anniversary of David Bowie’s Low album. It was the first of the “Berlin Trilogy” that he did with Brian Eno and Tony Visconti after he and Iggy Pop moved to Berlin. This album is unlike anything else Bowie had done before and after it. There are a lot of orchestral…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Life. Here or Otherwise?

Salutations™!! Today is the 49th anniversary of David Bowie’s Hunky Dory album. #108 on the RS list that matters. This album is fantastic. Then again, I am a Bowie fan, so most of them are. This is a great cover. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“It’s a god-awful small affair to the girl…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Lusty

Salutations™!! Today is the 43rd anniversary or Iggy Pop’s Lust For Life album. It was co-produced by David Bowie. The title track is one of Iggy’s best-known tunes. I have no idea what is up with this party. I’m intrigued, though. Enjoy it… Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “Here comes Johnny Yen again…

Here’s the haul: Rush – A Farewell To Kings — So, with the exception of…
