Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
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…
Salutations™!! So, I’m doing this new thing. Yes, I gave out on the lists that I was going to listen to and I am still going to do vinyl albums that I’m listening to but I’ve called on my Facebook friends to give me five or six of their “must hear” albums. I’ve gotten quite…
Salutations™!! So, yesterday was the first trip into Underdog Records of 2018. The BCPF and I got some good stuff, I believe. I filled in a couple of empty spaces on the RS list and one from the Eugeology list, too. The overall haul was short, but the depth was good! Let’s hit it……
Salutations™!! Well, it’s a new year. Last year around the new year, I finished two long-time lists, The Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums of All Time and the 400 nominations for the AFI 100 Years… 100 Movies. Again, those were long, drawn-out treks. The movies list took almost nine years and the RS list was…
Salutations™!! So, here it is. The end of the road for the Eugeology Series/Project/Experiment, whichever you want to call it. I’ll offer a retrospective on all of it in the next week or so. Meanwhile, let’s do this one: #50 – Another Perfect Day by Motörhead. Back in entry #4, I predicted there would be a…

Salutations™!! So, we’re still on vacay this week and I am late to the post tonight. I had already told Eugene that I wouldn’t be doing the last entry for the Eugeology countdown today because I haven’t had time to listen to it. But, I will post about it on Monday or Tuesday. So, instead,…
Salutations™!! Inching closer, we’re at the penultimate position in this countdown. The last entry was okay. It was more a question to Eugene about why the album for me. It was a good listen but it wasn’t anything spectacular. I know he has a way to go but I really want to read his review…

Salutations™!! I think I pleased Eugene with the last entry. The thing is he doesn’t comment much when I do like something. He indeed comments when I don’t. Jon doesn’t say a whole lot. He’s still sitting at #19. He may finish this time next year. We’ll see. Okay, let’s hit it. #48 – Wild Dogs…

Salutations™!! I let Eugene down on the last one, but I had to be honest, right? Let’s move on to this week’s entry. Jon will be along, eventually, right? #47 – Progressions of Power by Triumph. Note: I only listened to this one four times as opposed to the usual six spins per album. I didn’t need…

Salutations™!! The last entry was something that I was familiar with and I really enjoyed it. Eugene and Jon are behind but Eug is trying to catch up. I was late with this one because Thursday was Thanksgiving and I hadn’t had time to give it a fair shake. But, let’s hit it… #46 – Heartbreak…
