Spinning Sunday or: The Haul? 11/13/21

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I got up early and went to some yard sales. That’s the first time in probably six or seven years that we did that. Early in our relationship, we would go to yard/rummage/garage sales and we got away from it when we didn’t have much money and we got up late…

Now Normal Chronicles or: My Favorite Album

Salutations™!! Today is the 35th anniversary of my favorite album of all time, So from Peter Gabriel. What is it about it? I really can’t explain it. It just speaks to me; moves me. I have the 25th anniversary box set with vinyl, CDs, DVDs, and more. I love this album. Love. It! Enjoy! Until…

The Monday Recap or: The Listens 5/31/20

Salutations™!! So, as I said yesterday, I’m going to attempt to write my Monday blog post about the week of “my” listening. Per usual, this week’s streaming listens comes from Discogs’ shuffle feature and it has to be an album that I own on vinyl (outside of peripheral things like Beeswax Vinyl & More listens),…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Kissing Baboons

Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of Peter Gabriel’s third self-titled solo album which fans have gone to calling “Melt” because it looks like half his face is melting. It has one of my favorite PG songs on it and I want to do my own cover of it someday (plus it has the awesome…

Spinning Sunday or: The Listen 5/2/20

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…

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…

Salutations™!! My friend Doug Davis (yes, that Doug Davis) has like 356 side musical projects. One of them is this thing called Fanner. According to their Facebook page, the influences for this project are Peter Gabriel, Steven Wilson, Elbow, Radiohead, Pink Floyd. I don’t know much about Elbow, but the rest I can at least…

Spinning Sunday or: RSD Edition

Salutations™!! As you saw for the last two days, I spent almost 20 hours on the sidewalk in front of Underdog Records, camping out, watching the weather, hoping against hope that it didn’t rain, had my hands butter scrubbed, had a new restaurant stop and offer us samples of their shrimp and grits, was joined…
