Now Normal Chronicles or: Acoustic Wing

Salutations™!! Today is the 53rd anniversary of Jimi Hendrix’s second studio album, Axis: Bold as Love. I’ll be honest, it’s probably my least favorite of Jimi’s discography, but it’s still a great album. I never considered myself a Jimi fan, and I’m only moderately a passive fan, now. But, I certainly understand and appreciate his…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 3/9/19

Salutations™!! A cold and slimy day yesterday was made better by being with my girl, seeing Jonathan at Underdog Records, buying records and listening to them all day. And, in the listening (and buying) there was a lot of The BCPF influenced listening since I let her pick out a few new or reissued albums…

Music from Rock And Roll Over the Elder or: Many Kisses

Salutations™!! I failed you, Dear Reader. I had been keeping up with my KISS album release dates and missed two big ones this month, but in my defense, I have been a bit busy. Holidays, birthdays, work, and other things have kept me tied up. But, let’s just jump in. This may be long and…

Gone Solo or: Many Kisses (Part 2)

Salutations™!! The month of September is a huge month for KISS fans, even if they don’t know it. Why you may ask? Because the month of September is the anniversary month for the releases of TEN KISS albums. I’ve talked about Alive!, Animalize and Asylum. Now, today, September 18th is a doozie. In 1978, all…

How, Where, When, Condition, Reason? or: 94 is a Magic Number

Salutations™!! Usually, Tuesdays are for piggybacking The Man Who Ate the Town, but we didn’t do a podcast today so we’re not piggybackin’.  But, yesterday, a very important figure in my childhood passed away. Bob Dorough, the main songwriter behind the very popular 70s/80s children’s interstitial program, Schoolhouse Rock passed at the age of 94. He was…

Silent Sunday or: The Haul 12/23/17

Salutations™!! Let me say, a brand new needle on your turntable makes all the difference in the world! Everything sounds so crisp and amazing. The BCPF and I have been enjoying a long week together observing the 3-Feet Rule (no farther than three feet from each other for most of the vacation). In that, we also…

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or: Sing It Sister!

Salutations™!! So, I know the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is at times controversial, sometimes political and always polarizing subject. Some think it’s contrived, others a complete waste of time. I have been critical of their inability to nominate qualified artists over some that have been sketchy at best. Now, I know opinion is…

Silent Sunday or: The Haul 11/18/17

Salutations™!! So this week will be a mixture of the take from Underdog Records and a shload of records that I didn’t know that I owned. Let me explain. About 10 years ago, my ex-wife and my mother went to an auction (they were always going to auctions) and purchased a ton of records. They…
