Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! I once had a conversation about the song “Hallelujah” from Leonard Cohen. I had talked about not getting its appeal. Then I was educated and have come to really love the song. There are many, many versions of it online but this is absolutely my favorite version, ever. This is Norwegian superstars Espen Lind, Askil Holm, Alejandro…
Salutations™!! I dropped 3B off at school this morning around 9am. I came straight home (we live 2 minutes from the school), put on some Thompson Twins, Ghostbusters Soundtrack (1984), Jim Croce, Pink Floyd, Eddie Money, Chicago, ZZ Top and Tom Jones records and proceded to clean up a big chunk of the house.

Salutations™!! On Wednesday nights or Thursday mornings (whenever I get to it) I offer up a new playlist on Spotify.

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I have had a busy weekend but we still got by Underdog Records. In fact, I was there three times this week. I love that place. Anywhat! Here’s the haul: Beck – Colors (Beck’s first new album since 2014’s Morning Phase, on Indie Record Store Exclusive yellow vinyl, a fantastic record, new) Concrete Blonde – Bloodletting (new)…
Salutations™!! “Under the Milky Way” by the Church is one of my new obsessions. I love that song and I look for a lot of recreations. Since I’ve spent a lot of time with Clay Howard this week (and will again tonight), and one of the first conversations he and I ever had was about…
