Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 1/16/21

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I got up and headed to Underdog Records grabbed our goodies (he was busy, that was good) and then literally got in our own bubble and had lunch at The Porch. Lots of record listening yesterday, too. A good day. Here’s the haul: Crosby, Stills & Nash – Crosby, Stills & Nash —…

Now Normal Chronicles or: Freewheelin’

Salutations™!! Today is the anniversary of a few albums. Mike Oldfield’s Crises (37), Neil Young’s American Stars ‘N Bars and Dixie Dregs’s Free Fall (both 43), Paul McCartney & Wings’s Venus And Mars (45), and perhaps, at least to me, Bob Dylan’s The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, which is 57 today. I’ve stated many, many times that Dylan is…

Spinning Sunday or: Now Normal Chronicle Edition

Salutations™!! You’d think in this time of “self-isolation” and “stay-at-home” and being surrounded by a lot of vinyl dreaminess that I’d have a lot of time to catch up on some listening. Yeah, you’d think that. But you’d be incorrect. See, the thing is, while I am home working, so is The BCPF. We work…

Spinning Monday or: The Haul 6/15/19

Salutations™!! Since yesterday was Father’s Day, we did our grocery shopping on Saturday after breakfast before running over to Underdog Records before we had to be in Greensboro for a Cobras game Saturday night. So, here’s the haul: Calexico / Iron & Wine – Years To Burn — The BCPF is a huge fan of both acts and having albums…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 1/12/19

Salutations™!! Underdog Records was jumping yesterday with people coming in and Jonathan was only playing local artists in the store for the first part of the day. He sold a good bit of local music, including selling out of a few, with that. I like when he does that. I had gone in and set…

Silent Sunday or: The Haul – Record Store Edition

Salutations™!! So, the thing I want to say first is this: as much as I don’t mind the cold, sitting outside when the temperature drops to 41° and the wind comes barreling in at 3:45am in the morning and you’re in line for the Super Bowl of Records and Vinyl. That “ish” sucks like a…

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…

Silent Sunday or: The Haul 11/25/17

Salutations™!! This week’s edition is the Record Store Day-Black Friday (RSD) edition. But, it’s also the Small Business Saturday edition. Yes, The BCPF and I went to Underdog Records both days. The haul was less in terms of quantity but more in cost because it was new stuff that we were purchasing. There was one…
