Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Friday was Record Store Day – Black Friday Edition and I participated but not to the extent I used to. Since the pandemic, I haven’t had the inclination to participate. The BCPF and I did some work around the house on Friday and waited for my ex-wife to come and get some stuff from…
Salutations™!! First, let me say, it’s the 52nd anniversary of the start of Woodstock today (you’d have known that if you listened to today’s episode of Beeswax Vinyl Daily). Second let me say that we listened to no records yesterday as we had a food and beverage event and a work event for The BCPF….
Salutations™!! Today is the 44th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac’s most famous album, Rumours. There are plenty of great Fleetwood Mac albums but this is the one. THE one. There’s not a bad song on this album, at all. It’s always my example when I talk about the “Leave Me Out of It” thing we did…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I were up “early” to prepare for Record Store Day Drop #2. We were selected for the 930a spot and it was a perfect spot for us. We got everything on our list with the exception of one title but one of our friends and part of the RSD Crüe had…
Salutations™!! Yep, I am a day behind on this because yesterday was Mother’s Day. So, Underdog Records is still “closed” and Jonathan says that while he does see reopening in the near future, it will still be several weeks, and procedures within the store will be different. He’s doing a shload of deliveries right now,…
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 anniversary of three different albums that I think are especially good. Two of which have a pretty good rapport with fans and one that is questionable. Let’s start with that one. Today is the 33rd anniversary of Fleetwood Mac’s Tango In The Night album. I like the poppy and polished aspect…
Salutations™!! Today is the 43rd anniversary of Fleetwood Mac’s greatest album (in my opinion), Rumours. It’s #25 on the RS List and to me has no true clunkers. This is the song, I believe, that Clay said he would leave off the album but I think it’s haunting and I really dig it. This is a…
Salutations™!! As you saw for the last two days, I spent almost 20 hours on the sidewalk in front of Underdog Records, camping out, watching the weather, hoping against hope that it didn’t rain, had my hands butter scrubbed, had a new restaurant stop and offer us samples of their shrimp and grits, was joined…
Salutations™!! First off, notice I changed the title of this one. It seems my Sunday posts are a bit verbose at times, and they’re usually about records. Neither of which really lends to the “silent” aspect of Silent Sunday. So, I think I’m changing the “haul” posts up a bit. I’ll still do Silent Sunday…
