Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I got up early, ate breakfast outside in the cold at Young Cardinal, went record shopping at our favorite “candy” store, Underdog Records, and listened to good music yesterday. A laid-back and relaxing day. Here’s the haul. Eels – Daisies Of The Galaxy — The BCPF had Jonathan order this for her. She…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a national holiday for record collectors, although it didn’t feel like it. In recent years, I would have camped out overnight in front of Underdog Records in anticipation of Record Store Day. And, it would have been mid- to late-April. But, all that went out the window with C-19. RSD was postponed…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was the 33rd anniversary of Def Leppard’s Hysteria album. It’s my favorite from the band. It gets a lot of flack because it’s produced and slick and all that mess but it sounds awesome to me. I picked this because I always thought it was overlooked. Plus, it’s a cool Japanese band doing it. I…
Salutations™!! YES! You read that correctly. The “haul” and not the “listen.” I haven’t decided yet if I’ll put what I’ve listened to in the last week. You’ll know by the time the end of this blog post happens. So, back to what this means. It means that Underdog Records is back open! It also…
Salutations™!! Today is the anniversary of several albums. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere from Neil Young & Crazy Horse (#210 on the RS list) celebrates 51 years today. The Carpenters’ self-titled third album is 49. Relics: A Bizarre Collection of Antiques & Curios, a compilation album from Pink Floyd is also 49. Little Queen, the second album…
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…
Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of Bryan Adams’ first album, which was titled, Bryan Adams. Forty years. I saw BAdams a few years back with Eugene when we went to Raleigh to watch him and Def Leppard. He sounded really good. I don’t know when this video was shot but he’s playing bass and…
Salutations™!! Today is my dad’s birthday. I got to talk to him a little bit and I’m glad he’s here for me to do that. He’s a great man and no matter how hard I try I’ll never be the man he is. But, he lets me be the man I am and that’s awesome,…
Salutations™!! Last week, I actually dug what Eugene was throwing down. Much better than the previous week’s anyway. This week kind of reverts to the previous week. Oh, Jon, where art thou!? Let’s hit it. #44 – Rose Tattoo by Rose Tattoo. “They” talk about Def Leppard being a cursed band. And, they very well could…
