Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Are you enjoying the Snowmageddon that is happening outside right now? Or at least if you’re in the Southeast… I hate it, as you’d hear if you listened to the last two Useless Things Podcasts (which you can do here). We had breakfast, picked up the remaining tile we had for the bathroom redo,…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was the 43rd anniversary of Elvis Costello’s second album (his first with the Attractions), This Year’s Model. The album was #98 on the RS list that mattered and dropped to #121 on the one that doesn’t. This is a pretty good rendition. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“I’ve been on tenterhooks,…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a most typical day for The BCPF and me. Up, breakfast, Underdog Records, a quick stop at City Beverage to grab wine that we ordered 2 weeks ago, home to listen to records, MIL, dinner, movie. We love those kind of days. By the way, today is the last Sunday of my…
Salutations™!! Today is the 43rd anniversary of Elvis Costello’s debut album, My Aim Is True. It’s #168 on the RS list and is a pretty darn good album. This was the big hit on the album and it’s a good version. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “Oh it’s so funny to be…

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I have been quarantined and like I said last week, we actually don’t have time during the week to listen to records, even though we have been surrounded by them all day every day for the past three weeks. But, when The BCPF is doing her thing and I am doing…
Salutations™!! A fun Saturday that was a little late starting (just like today) but we had breakfast (or lunch) and then went by to see Jonathan at Underdog Records. Good listening, too. Here’s the haul: The Police – Synchronicity — Yep, I found another. This was one of the 2019 reissues, but it had a variant cover…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I made our way to Underdog Record for the first time in over a week the day after Christmas. I couldn’t go any longer. We had put together our fifth record case and had shifted the whole collection around and now it was time to get more records! I think we…
Salutations™!! Like the last few weeks, The BCPF had the day off on Friday and we went to Underdog Records a day early. We got some good stuff and I’m going to share that with you, now! Michael Kiwanuka – Kiwanuka — I first heard pieces of this album when I was making the commercial for Underdog…
