Salutations™!!

Yesterday and last night was a night of epic proportions. I’ll get to that later this week, possibly on the podcast. I’ll have a couple of things to talk about this week on that podcast episode. But, we had breakfast, went to Underdog Records, and I got to see my mom. Here’s the haul:

©Casablanca

Kiss – Destroyer 45th Anniversary 2-LP Deluxe Edition — I wasn’t going to buy this but I couldn’t resist. Not nearly my favorite KISS album, but I’d love to have other albums from the band do this. Especially, Rock and Roll Over or Hotter Than Hell or the self-titled debut. 2×LP, Remastered, Stereo, Half-Speed Mastering. New.

Explosions In The Sky – Big Bend (An Original Soundtrack For Public Television) — Kind of like indie-prog-rock. That’s what The BCPF said. I don’t know if I know anything from them. 2×LP. New.

The Feelies – The Good Earth — Don’t know anything about The Feelies. This is The BCPF’s pick. She said they’re somehow related to Luna. I know who Luna is, but I don’t know what it means to be related to them. Reissue, Remastered. New.

The Feelies – In Between — Everything I said in the above paragraph applies here. New.

Frank Sinatra – Christmas — I don’t like Christmas music other than like the week of Christmas. I love Frank Sinatra. So, let’s go for it. Walmart Exclusive – Red Vinyl. Used but Sealed.

Carole King – A Holiday Carole — Same thing, but with Carole King. NM.

Underdog Records will be closed on Thursday, of course, but will be open Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Friday is Black Friday and is also Record Store Day. If you’re interested in the RSD roster of releases, visit the RSD website. Order new vinyl (not RSD) from Underdog by visiting their website. Use Discogs to track your music collection like I do.

Until next time, keep spinnin’…
Scorp out!

Salutations™!!

As I’ve said twice this week (three times if you count the Asylum podcast, which I do)… Happy 40th anniversary to my favorite KISS album, Music from The Elder. This was probably the first time I saw them actually performing. It was rough but it was live.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Time for a new podcast, y’all! Yeah, two in one week. I had stuff to say, I guess. I don’t know if I’ll have stuff to say next week or not. But, it’s the 40th anniversary this week of my favorite KISS album. Hear me talk about it here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Asylum - Tales from the Devereaux Diaries, KISS, Music, Podcast, Podcasting, Podcasts, PodernFamily, The Less Desirables Network

Salutations™!!

Tonight on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries, Kousin Gary revealed his KISS ranking. He went strictly by numbers and formulas and only barely by personal feelings. Some of his movements from his previous list were mind-blowing. Inexplicably, he put some of the best KISS albums near the bottom of the list. I can’t even talk about it, now. I promise this isn’t a ruse to get you to listen, but if you’re a KISS fan, you need to hear this list. I think he’s lost his mind or the system he used was flawed. Listen here and prepare yourself.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

Yesterday was the 47th anniversary of KISS’ second album, Hotter Than Hell. It is #6 on my KISS list. I love the album, regardless of whether it sounds like it was recorded in a tiled bathroom or not. I decided instead of a cover, I’d go to the source, but this was from earlier this month in soundcheck. Paul’s voice isn’t what it used to be but he sounds good here. A couple of cracks, but whatever. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Alice Cooper, Asylum - Tales from the Devereaux Diaries, KISS, Music, The Less Desirables Network

Salutations™!!

My Kousins and I didn’t necessarily talk about KISS tonight. Well, we did, but that wasn’t the main topic. The main topic was what we call something “KISS Adjacent.” That means that even it isn’t KISS, it’s something that had to do with KISS in some shape or form. This week, the main topic was the Alice Cooper album Brutal Planet. Alice Cooper and KISS have had some parallel moments through their careers. But, what makes this KISS Adjacent is that the drummer on this album is KISS’ very own Eric Singer. We listened through the album, gave some commentary of the album and even got in the weeds because that’s what we do. You can listen to that episode here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“We’re spinning round on this ball of hate, there’s no parole, there’s no great escape. We’re sentenced here until the end of days and then my brother there’s a price to pay. We’re only human, we were born to die. Without the benefit of reason why. We live for pleasure – to be satisfied. And now it’s over there’s no place to hide. Why don’t you, come down to… It’s such a brutal planet.” – “Brutal Planet” (Cooper/Marlette)

Have you figured out the number combo code above? What may it mean? What will it be? Send me a note, let me know your guess. There’s no prize, but there is an “atta-boy” or “atta-girl” in it for you.

On Asylum – Tales of the Devereaux Diaries Podcast this evening, the Kousins talked about my 2021 KISS albums rankings. I did a rating back in 2018 and that was partly the basis of this podcast that I do with my Kousins. We went through all the albums and talked about them. I posted my 2018 (part I) here and (part II) here. I’m not going to post the updated rankings just yet as I want you to listen to the podcast and find out that way. I will post it soon, though. So, in order to hear the episode, you should go here.

asylum: Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast, Bruce Kulick, KISS, Music, The Less Desirables Network

Salutations™!!

My Kousins and I took the time today to listen and review Bruce Kulick’s album Audiodog. Bruce Kulick is, of course, our favorite KISS guitarist. This album was his debut solo effort after being unceremoniously excused from KISS. Okay, maybe it was ceremoniously done, we just think that once the “reunion” was over, they should have ditched the makeup, brought Bruce and Eric Singer back and go back what they were doing (that wasn’t broken) before Unplugged. Anywhat!! You can listen to us listening to it, here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

This week on Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast, the Kousins talk about the 1987 film, Trick or Treat starring Marc Price (who was Skippy in Family Ties), Doug Savant (from Melrose Place), Ozzy Osbourne as a priest (if you can believe that) and Gene Simmons in a really believable role of “Nuke” a modern “Wolfman Jack” kind of DJ. We also talked about the soundtrack from Fastway that was featured in the film, even though it came out the next year. We had fun with it. Have you seen the film or heard the soundtrack? What was your thoughts on either or both? I’d love to hear from you! You can hear the episode here.

KISS, MTV, Music, Video

Salutations™!!

Today is a big day in Kisstory. In 1978, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, and Paul Stanley each released their solo albums as a means to satisfy egos. Within four years Ace and Peter were gone. In 1987, Crazy Nights was released which is possibly the slickest of all KISS albums. It’s a polarizing albums as some people love it or hate it. I am a lover of it. In 1983, KISS released Lick It Up, the first album that actually acknowledged Ace’s departure and the first album the band released without makeup. To commemorate this, they appeared on MTV on Sunday, September 18, 1983. The same day of the album release, which is weird to me because i don’t see albums released on Sundays. But, instead of posting a cover or whatever, I’m going to show the reveal. I hope you enjoy it.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
