Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is the anniversary of several albums. Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere from Neil Young & Crazy Horse (#210 on the RS list) celebrates 51 years today. The Carpenters’ self-titled third album is 49. Relics: A Bizarre Collection of Antiques & Curios, a compilation album from Pink Floyd is also 49. Little Queen, the second album…
Salutations™!! I’m in a bit of a mood. I just hate when people owe money and don’t pay it. That’s really all I have to say about that. Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “Money, it’s a crime. Share it fairly, but don’t take a slice of my pie. Money, so they say,…
Salutations™!! I’m running late this evening so I’m going to talk about one of my favorite bands but not necessarily my favorite stuff they do. Today is the 43rd anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Animals album. I love everything about the album except the album. I really like hits and this is bereft of those. Some…
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…

Salutations™!! The BCPF and I made our way to Underdog Record for the first time in over a week the day after Christmas. I couldn’t go any longer. We had put together our fifth record case and had shifted the whole collection around and now it was time to get more records! I think we…
Salutations™!! Like the last few weeks, The BCPF had the day off on Friday and we went to Underdog Records a day early. We got some good stuff and I’m going to share that with you, now! Michael Kiwanuka – Kiwanuka — I first heard pieces of this album when I was making the commercial for Underdog…
Salutations™!! This weekend, as I said was a little bit weird, timing-wise and we didn’t get to do our normal listening. That also threw our posting off a little on Beeswax Vinyl and in the Underdog Records “Now Spinning” page. So, I’ll leave a little posting about them here. Hah’bah’dah? This is from Saturday, Sunday…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a scheduling-weird day for The BCPF and me. We had a house-warming to attend in Charlotte so we had to put our regular activities on hold. We got back into town around 3pm so then we got to go to Underdog Records and got to listen to a few before we went…
Salutations™!! Today is the 51st anniversary of Pink Floyd’s second album A Saucerful of Secrets. I still haven’t gotten it (fully) on vinyl. The Record Store Day version that I got is one of a handful that was pressed with the wrong first side master. So, I have some EDM tune on side one and side…
Salutations™!! Yesterday The BCPF and I got to have a very rare Saturday to ourselves. We were supposed to work the TLD Network booth at Mixxer’s Industry Hill Block Party but that was rained out and I’m so glad I didn’t have to sit or move in that rain. Next year, hopefully, it will be better….
