Salutations™!!

The holiday break was over! The BCPF and I went to breakfast, got our hair cut and went to Underdog Records. It was so good being back in the “candy store.” Our haul was slim but I feel we got good stuff. Here’s the haul:

Whitesnake – Slip Of The Tongue — 2×LP, Album, Deluxe Edition, Reissue, Remastered. Gatefold sleeve. 30th Anniversary Remaster MMXIX. I believe by this time, Vivian Campbell had left to join Def Leppard. Steve Vai came in to handle guitar duties and did almost (if not) all of the guitar work. Adrian Vandenberg had suffered from a hand issue and couldn’t play. That means that the two albums that Vandenberg was associated with in Whitesnake, he never played a single note on the records. Richard Page, the lead singer and bassist of Mr. Mister, did most of the backup vocals with Tommy Funderburk, who is a writing partner with Martin Page. This has outtakes and alternate versions of some songs. New.

Mammoth WVH – Mammoth WVH — WVH is Wolfgang Van Halen, Eddie’s son. Mammoth was the band’s name before they went with the eponymous designation. After Eddie passed away, Wolf made his own album and I think it’s pretty kick-arse. He took a lot of flack for not trying to sound like his famous guitarist father. I am proud of Wolf to sticking to his guns, wanting to be his own man with his own style doing his own thing. In fact, he did all of it himself. All the instruments and vocals were done by him. It’s cool. Haters should just shut UP! 2×LP, Album, Limited Edition, Black Ice Translucent vinyl. New.

Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit – Here We Rest — We still know little about Jason Isbell but The BCPF wanted it, so we got it. Simple as that. Recorded at the Nutthouse, Sheffield, Alabama and FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The album comes with a bonus 7″ single. Side B of bonus single also appears on the No More Fake Labels Guided By Voices tribute album Sing For Your Meat. NM.

This was not gotten at Underdog Record but from a crowd-sourced project:

Two Pound Planet – Songs From The Hydrogen Jukebox: The Mitch Easter Sessions & More — Two Pound Planet was the early band of my friend Jerry Chapman (yes, THAT Jerry Chapman). They did a rerelease of this album on vinyl and CD. I bought the regular 180g black vinyl edition (this listing, which is the only one in Discogs), the Transparent Green, and Orange & White Pinwheel versions. I got a cassette of Urban Edge, an autographed 8×10 of the band, and a “triple fat” t-shirt (my words not theirs), too. All from my pledge. We listened to it yesterday when I was putting The BCPF’s new desk together in her “StephCave.”

Again, it was so fun being back at Underdog Records. You can shop 24/7/365 by visiting their website. Also, watch the Underdog Records Instagram and Facebook pages to see what he’s just gotten in, whether it be new records, used records, reissues, equipment, and so on…

I use Discogs to track my collection. You should, too.

Until next time, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!

Salutations™!!

Yesterday, The BCPF and I got to go back to Underdog Records for the second straight week. We also ate inside a restaurant, albeit briefly. So, we tried to get some normalcy. We got another good haul this week and a few imports. I don’t usually go for that kind of thing but, these were things we couldn’t pass up. Anywhat! Here’s the haul:

Greetings_from_Asbury_Park_NJ

©Columbia

  • The Smiths – Absolute Panic! — I know that The Smiths, or more accurately, Morrissey is polarizing to many folks. You either love him or hate him. Don’t feel bad, I think he hates himself. I am actually in the middle. I neither love nor hate him. I enjoy the work, believe it or not. This was an import and is a great quality sounding live show. I don’t know where it was, though. The album comes from Germany, though. It’s notable that obviously there were some folks fighting in the crowd and Morrissey keeps calling them out. New?
  • Bruce Springsteen – Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. — Springsteen’s debut album which has his version of “Blinded By The Light” which makes no sense whatsoever and one of my favorite performances from VSS that I’ve done, “Spirit in the Night.” This is a really good listen and I enjoyed it. New.
  • Morrissey – At The Civic Hall, Wolverhampton, UK, December 22nd, 1988 — This is, according to Jonathan, Morrissey’s first solo show after he left The Smiths. It’s right before Christmas 1988. I had just turned 18 a few weeks prior. It’s an import. We’ll hear it soon. New.
  • They Might Be Giants – Flood — A picture disc. I don’t buy picture discs as they usually suck, quality-wise, are noisy, and eat the crap out of your needle. That being said, The BCPF wanted it and I offered little resistance. New.
  • Caleb Caudle – Better Hurry Up — Local WSNC musician. I’d call him a friend. He’s been on The Less Desirables, I believe, more than once. I know he’s at least been played on more than one occasion. This is his new release and Jonathan says it’s the best thing he’s put out, which is saying something. New.
  • The Jesus And Mary Chain – Send Me Away – Early Demos — The BCPF is a fan of the band, it’s an import, it’s “unofficial,” it’s in our collection. Funny thing, I bought it without asking her. I knew better. New.
  • Queen – Sheer Heart Attack — Early Queen, their third album. Released 12 days before my fourth birthday. Dang, this is old. The biggest hits from this album are “Killer Queen,” “Now I’m Here” and “Stone Cold Crazy” although the whole album is, well, “killer.” New.
  • Nicole Atkins – Italian Ice — I have no idea what this is. The BCPF put it in my hand. It’s a pretty red/ruby color vinyl, though. New.
  • The Sisters Of Mercy – Gimme Shelter — Another import with a flimsy cover. I think these are BBC recordings of their tunes. This is also one that I picked up without conferring with The BCPF and I know she digs them and their goth sounds. New.
  • Accept – Midnight Highway — It’s a compilation album from 1983, which is pre-“Balls to the Wall” for the band, that song and album was released in December 1983. I just wanted to check it out. VG+.
  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Neville Marriner, Academy Of St. Martin-In-the-Fields – Amadeus (Original Soundtrack Recording) — I loved the movie (which won Best Picture in 1984. I am a big fan of Mozart, too. And, Tom Hulce, who played Wolfgang in the film went to UNCSA. So there. VG+.
  • Servant – Swimming In A Human Ocean — Turns out this is a Canadian Christian Rock band. I don’t know if I’ll like it since my religion is “non-prophet,” but we’ll see. It’s still sealed but I will probably open it. I may or may not keep it, either. I don’t know. As far as I can tell, this is the last album from the band. It’s from 1985. New?
  • Nik Kershaw – The Riddle — All I know from Kershaw is the hit, “Wouldn’t It Be Good?” It’s on this copy of the album but it is really from his debut album called Human Racing. The US version of this album (which this obviously is) had the song listed. I guess they couldn’t release it enough times. I love the original of the song and really dig the Jerry Chapman (yes, that Jerry Chapman) version. The rest of this album is early- to mid-80s pop fare. Mark King from Level 42 does play bass on one track, though, so that’s a plus.

Well, that’s this week’s haul. We got several of these listened to yesterday but not as much as we’d like. But, it’s a start. I believe that Underdog Records will be closed next Saturday as Jonathan is attending a wedding. Jonathan is still doing deliveries during the week and the store is only open on Friday and Saturday (except, of course, for this Saturday coming) for the time being. You should watch his Instagram and Facebook pages for things he’s just gotten in, used and new and you can order from him directly. You can shop new vinyl, anytime, day or night, by visiting the UR website. I use Discogs to track my collection, pick randoms and share my collection with friends. You should too!

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!

“Well now Wild young Billy was a crazy cat and he shook some dust out of his coonskin cap. He said, ‘Try some of this it’ll show you where you’re at, or at least it’ll help you really feel it.’ By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake, I had my head out the window and Janey’s fingers were in my cake. I think I really dug her cause I was too loose to fake. I said, ‘I’m hurt,’ she said, ‘Honey, let me heal it.’ And we danced all night to a soul fairy band and she kissed me just right like only a lonely angel can.” – “Spirit in the Night” (Springsteen)

Vinyl Pals or: Seeing Daylight

3B, Asheville, Jerry Chapman, Mt. Airy, Records, The BCPF, Underdog Records, vinyl

Salutations™!!

I’m almost done with all the video work I’ve been doing, I can see daylight. But, I wanted to talk about something else for a minute.

One of the many, many things that I love about vinyl collecting is the community that it creates. You are doing this with others who share your passion or at least just dig the collectability. I have several friends who I was already friends with that I have been talking vinyl with and enjoying the conversations. output

When I came home on Friday, just before I picked up 3B and before The BCPF and I left for Asheville, there was a package out on my front porch. I was familiar with the shape of the package. It was for vinyl. Had I ordered something? I thought my orders had already been filled. It turns out, they were.

This package had a return address but not a name. It was from Mt. Airy. I only know a few people in Mt. Airy. And, with one, we have had a few conversations about vinyl. I opened it up and there were six albums in there. I was perplexed.

I sent a text to my friend Jerry Chapman. Yes, that Jerry Chapman. I asked if this pile of loveliness was his doing. He sent back, “It is. Wow, that got there fast. I have lots of double of some records, so it’s more fun just to send them to friends.” It was fantastic. It turns out that I have one already but, in the spirit of the occasion, I’m going to trade it to Clay Howard for a record that I was looking for that he had an extra of.

I’m going to hold off on listing them until this weekend when we go to Underdog Records. I’ll do the cleaning thing and cataloging. I’ll include them in the “haul.”  So many thanks to Jerry. He’s a real pal and I appreciate him! Not just for the records, but just being a pal. He’s cool.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Salutations™!!

It was cold as all get out yesterday when The BCPF and I took to the streets to do our “Saturday Thang.” Near, if not in, the 60s the day before, it was at around 34° or so as we went to Underdog Records. Brrrrrr! But, we got to warm up with some great music. Let’s hit it.At_Last_-_Etta_James

  • Big Star – Radio City – Local ties all around this album. I know it’s a favorite of many of the musical circles in town and some of them even had some things to do with the band itself. It’s #405 on the RS List and you know what? It’s a fantastic album. New.
  • Run-D.M.C. – Run-D.M.C. – One of the pioneering rap albums that set that whole genre on fire. It’s #242 on the RS List. New.
  • Etta James – At Last! – The first time I heard this woman’s voice I was smitten. She’s so powerful and soulful. It’s easy to see where Amy Winehouse got her inspiration. Great album coming in at #119 on the RS List. New.
  • Count Basie Orchestra – Basie Picks The Winners – VG copy.
  • Stan Getz / Charlie Byrd – Jazz Samba – I loved the Getz/Gilberto album that we got last year, even more so than the first time I heard it. I missed out on the second album from that duo, but I think I’ll dig this one. VG+.
  • Berlin – Love Life – I’m listening to this as I write this post. It’s a good new wave/pop record. Good stuff. I’ve always loved Terri Nunn’s voice (and she’s cute). VG+.
  • Ray Parker Jr. – The Other Woman – Yep, I love some cheese. Parker Jr., though, is a really good guitar player. He has been a session player for some big names in music like Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner, Boz Scaggs, David Foster and Herbie Hancock. He also wrote a lot of hits for others like “Mr. Telephone Man” for New Edition and so on. VG+.
  • Ray Parker Jr. And Raydio – A Woman Needs Love – Ditto. VG+.
  • Stephen Foster, Jan Degaetani, Leslie Guinn – Songs By Stephen Foster (1826-1864) – VG+.
  • Stephen Stills & Manassas – Down The Road – One of two albums Stills made with this band after the break up of CSN. VG+
  • Elvis Presley – Seine 40 Grössten Hits – A 2xLP German-released greatest hits album. Disappointingly, he’s not doing the songs in German. VG+.
  • Benjamin Britten, Peter Pears, London Symphony Orchestra – Nocturne – Four Sea Interludes – Passacaglia (Peter Grimes) – The BCPF was excited about this one. VG+.
  • Cole Porter – American Musicals: Kiss Me, Kate/Can-Can/Anything Goes – 3xLP of highlights from Porter’s musical forays. VG+. $1 bin find.
  • Nat King Cole – The Man And His Music – Because we grab anything we can with Nat King Cole on it, and it was only $1 and a 2xLP at that. It’s in fairly good condition, too.
  • There was another Benjamin Britten that we got but it’s not in Discogs and I’ll have to enter it along with about four or five others that take about 30-45 minutes each to put all that info in (especially hard when their in foreign languages) and it’s not easy to find info on some of those things. A headache. For the record, I think I’ve only purchased one album that I had to put in. She has purchased the rest… sigh… I kid.

Just this week, Jonathan got in a set of Bose speakers and a JVC receiver that were in good shape, he sold the speakers pretty quickly. But, he is always getting groovy record gear in and it’s there for the taking. Follow Underdog Records on Instagram to get the latest of what’s going out there. He posts new releases, freshly obtained used vinyl and other record-related info. Jonathan, like Clay Howard, Jerry Chapman and myself all use Discogs to keep up with our collection and share with others. Plus, the Discogs Marketplace is pretty banging, too.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

I only did one song, but it was a ton of fun. It’s hard to not sing at the top of my voice along with all the songs but I had to save some at the Vagabond Saints Society does ELO show. There’s no pictures of me (I was next to last) that I’ve seen, yet, but I’ll keep on the lookout. Thanks to Doug Davis, Jerry Chapman, Randall Johnson, Corky McClellan, Ken Mohan, Karon Click (McKinney), Susan Terry, Alex Johnston, Patrick Ferguson, Brian Cole, John MacMillan, Jeffrey Dean Foster, Tony Dagnall and Amanda Sullivan, Stephen Henson, Tammie Davis, Joe Henzler, Lee Wallace, Darrell Hoots, and, especially Bob Campbell for giving up one of his songs for me to have. It was a great night. ELO is pretty righteous. I hate I wasn’t more into them before now.

Salutations™!!

Tonight, I’ll be hosting the Friday Night Music Club at Bull’s Tavern. Special guests for the show will be Clay Howard and James Vincent Carroll. Our house band includes Aaron 15873515_1428930590450353_2994663030644474219_nBurkey (Plaids), Jerry Chapman (Mediocre Bad Guys, Vagabond Saints’ Society), Doug Davis (Plaids, Mediocre Bad Guys, Vagabond Saints’ Society), and Corky McClellan (Plaids, Mediocre Bad Guys, Vagabond Saints’ Society). With guests like Clay and James, you can safely assume that the program for this show is going to skew heavily in the direction of rock ‘n roll. You may see me get involved in the music part, too. We’re also very happy to have comedians Cabell Wilkinson and Zo Myers on board!
There is NO cover for this event! Donation buckets will be available for our charity for the evening, Triad Musicians Matter, and we do encourage you to contribute what you can. Come on out, the fun starts at 10pm, but there’ll be plenty to do before. Support Bull’s Tavern, support local musicians and support Triad Musicians Matter.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

This past week was the final week of the MM3AMMC/TLD Tap Takeover. Over the last 15 weeks, that’s right, FIFTEEN!, I’ve heard a lot of groovy tunes. 118, actually. From a return to youth or freedom or straight-forward rock to personal stories or foreign language or  “lyrical vomit” or even several songs about me. I’ve listened to a lot of music. I’ve listened to some awesome musicians, too. Clay, Doug, Jerry, Patrick, Steve, Corky, KG, Josh, Eddie and Anand, thank you all for entertaining me this last 15 weeks. Especially thanks to Doug, Josh, Eddie and Anand for sticking with it until the end.

Before I continue, I’d like to congratulate Doug Davis on his song, “Rivers to Oceans” for being last week’s “featured song.”

A recap of how this has works: So, on Monday morning around 8:30am or so, I would go and listen to the submissions. I looked over the assignment, compare the lyrics and songs to that assignment and then picked the one that I think makes the best representation of the assignment’s rules. To hear all the entrants this week visit the MM3AMMC website HERE.

This week, the assignment was from Josh: “My wife had an awesome suggestion. Write an anthem. Something that would be sung in soccer stadiums, football stadiums and other sporting arenas. Bonus points if you write one for your favorite sporting team.”

The submissions were as follows:

  • Doug Davis – “Reaching for the Sky”
  • Eddie McBride – “Fight!”
  • Joshua West – “Jezabel”
  • Anand Gan – “Rah Rah Sis Boom Bah”

So, there were 4 songs from 4 artists. And the winner was… nah, you don’t get it that easy. I mean, I want you to listen to the whole show, right? So, you need to listen to find out who won. You can do that on The Less Desirables website, on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn or  Podcast Addict. Or, I’ll save you the trouble and post it here, I’m good like that. And yes, there may be a reposting of this next Tuesday, you never know.

Salutations™!!

This past Monday ended the twelfth week in Round 13 of TLD/MM3AMMC. Before we continue, I’d like to congratulate Patrick Ferguson on his song, “All Washed Away” for being last week’s “featured song.”

A recap of how this works: So, on Monday morning around 8:30am or so, I go and listen to the submissions. Truth be known, I actually try to listen along the way.  But, I really listen at 8:30am. I look over the assignment, compare the lyrics and songs to that assignment and then pick the one that I think makes the best representation of the assignment’s a0683698238_10rules. To hear all the entrants this week visit the MM3AMMC website HERE.

This week, the assignment was from Patrick: “Since Tim Beeman is hand picking his favorite song of the week this round I feel we owe him a favor. TIMBO currently has a blog called “the man who walked the town” where he goes out in the city to random places for a bit of exercise. I feel he needs some motivational music, or a theme song for his Blog. Let’s all attempt to write a song for him called “The Man Who Walked the Town” . Let’s motivate Tim to “Walk On”…. this challenge is open to any style or interpretation. Just write something that will get him going.”

The submissions are as follows:

  • Doug Davis – “The Man Who Walked the Town”
  • Eddie McBride – “The Man Who Walked the Town”
  • Patrick Ferguson – “The Man Who Walked the Town”
  • Joshua West – “The Man Who Walked the Town”
  • Anand Gan – “The Man Who Walked the Town”
  • KG Noble – “The Man Who Walked the Town”
  • Jerry Chapman – “The Man Who Walked the Town”

To say that this is personal to me, well, that’s understatement. I really appreciate Patrick, who has walked with me on a few of my The Man Who Walked the Town journeys, coming up with this assignment.

So, there were 7 songs from 7 artists. And the winner was… nah, you don’t get it that easy. I mean, I want you to listen to the whole show, right? So, you need to listen to find out who won. You can do that on The Less Desirables website, on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn or  Podcast Addict. Or, I’ll save you the trouble and post it here, I’m good like that.

This week, the assignment was from Jerry: “Since we’re going another round, the song title should have some sort of reference to doing something a 2nd time. The song itself doesn’t necessarily have to be about that, though.”

The submissions are as follows:

  • Doug Davis – “The Next Goodbye”
  • Eddie McBride – “Goodbye and Homeward (the Second Time Around)”
  • Patrick Ferguson – “King of Wasted Dreams”
  • Joshua West – “I Don’t Mind”
  • Anand Gan – “Try a Little Harder Next Time”
  • KG Noble – “Teenage Summers (Do it All Again)”
  • Jerry Chapman – “The Next Time That You Come to Town”

Salutations™!!

This past Monday ended the ninth week in Round 13 of TLD/MM3AMMC. Before we continue, I’d like to congratulate Jerry Chapman on his song, “Flags in the Ground” for being last week’s “featured song.”

A recap of how this works: So, on Monday morning around 8:30am or so, I go and listen to the submissions. Truth be known, I actually try to listen along the way.  But, I really listen at 8:30am. I look over the assignment, compare the lyrics and songs to that assignment and then pick the one that I think makes the best representation of the assignment’s rules. To hear all the entrants this week visit the MM3AMMC website HERE.

This week, the assignment was from Joshua: “After spending time overseas, I think it

Rosetta Stone

Rosetta Stone

would be a cool thing to work in a foreign language into your song. It doesn’t have to be much, but it should work with your rhyme scheme and make sense (or not, if that is your intent). I’m thinking ‘Michelle’ by the Beatles is a great example, where Paul basically repeats the verse in French. But it is up to you. It can be a single phrase, like ‘C’est la vie,’ or ‘Ma Cherie amour,’ to name a few others. If you are fluent (or married to someone who is), you can write as much in another language as you want to! So break out your translation dictionary and good luck!”

The submissions are as follows:

  • Patrick Ferguson – “No Me Gusta”
  • Eddie McBride – “Like Serge and BB”
  • Joshua West – “I Will Be There”
  • Anand Gan – “Buenos Noches from Old San Juan”
  • Doug Davis – “What are You Talking About?”
  • Jerry Chapman – “Watch Out Butterfly”
  • KG Noble – “Dance with Me “

So, there were 7 songs from 7 artists. Clay said he just forgot to do the song, he didn’t make the Monday morning 3am deadline so he’s out. And the winner was… nah, you don’t get it that easy. I mean, I want you to listen to the whole show, right? So, you need to listen to find out who won. You can do that on The Less Desirables website, on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn or  Podcast Addict. Or, I’ll save you the trouble and post it here, I’m good like that. And yes, there may be a reposting of this next Tuesday, you never know.

Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
