Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! We had NO agenda yesterday. The BCPF and I got up, showered, spent time with Jonathan at Underdog Records, had a fantastic breakfast at Young Cardinal Cafe, listened to records, dinner at Davie Tavern and started re-watching one of our favorite Brit Coms, ever. It was a glorious Saturday. Here’s the haul: Wilco – A.M. —…

Salutations™!! Today is the 29th anniversary of Pavement’s Slanted and Enchanted album. We have this on vinyl (of course we do) and The BCPF about fell in the floor when I told her it was 29 years old. #135 on the RS list that matters, #199 on the one that doesn’t. This is a good…

Salutations™!! A good but long week for The BCPF and me led to a good weekend, including a fantastic trip to Underdog Records. I don’t have a lot to say about it other than, here’s the haul: The first two are of the TimeLife – The Story of Great Music collections that I ordered from…
Salutations™!! I am so longing for the opportunity to get back into Underdog Records and rummage through the used albums, some new albums and just to see Jonathan again. This is getting rougher as the time slips away. We’ve eaten well, though. This week was a lot shorter in both the headphone/streaming listening and the…
Salutations™!! Today is the 28th anniversary of Pavement’s Slanted and Enchanted album. It’s #135 on the RS list. I guess I liked it. I don’t know. This is Stephen Malkmus doing the opening track/single. He’s the one who wrote all the songs on the album. The language is a little salty, just warning you. Enjoy! Until…
Salutations™!! I love my wife. I really do. I also love how into her music she is. But, man… she listens to some really crappy stuff. So, this one is for her. Today is Pavement’s Wowee Zowee‘s 25th anniversary. I don’t mind the studio stuff, well as much, but live these guys suck. I tried to…
Salutations™!! Yesterday, The BCPF and I got to go to Underdog Records for the first time in around three weeks. We made up for it by getting a lot of records and listening to a lot of records before we went to have dinner with friends. Jonathan is ramping up for Record Store Day Black…
Salutations™!! At Underdog Records yesterday, I was able to finally, once and for all, tackle a certain Beatles problem that I have had over the last few years. You’ll find out about it in this haul: The Beatles – Rubber Soul — So, I have been burned (by my own self) over and over finding this on vinyl….
Salutations™!! First off, I want to say “happy father’s day” to all the dads out there, whether they’re dads, step-dads, furry kids’ dads, father figures, all of you. My life would be nothing like it is without my own Ma Père and I’ll get to see him in a few hours. He made me the…

Salutations™!! We didn’t walk yesterday because it was misting/drizzling and I hate being wet. I didn’t want to get caught up in the deluge. Anywhat! The BCPF and I still ate at Mary’s Gourmet Diner, went to Underdog Records, did a lot of record listening and met our friends at Willows Bistro last night….
