Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Well, it happened. Eight years after they published the last Top 500 Albums of All Time, Rolling Stone Magazine has released a fresh, brand new list. I will admit I haven’t read through it yet. But, I do plan on making a comparison between the 2012 list and this 2020 list and filling the…
Salutations™!! Today is the 43rd anniversary of Fleetwood Mac’s greatest album (in my opinion), Rumours. It’s #25 on the RS List and to me has no true clunkers. This is the song, I believe, that Clay said he would leave off the album but I think it’s haunting and I really dig it. This is a…
Salutations™!! I’m about resolved to the fact that I have been and will continue to write a lot about music and post videos. I am a fan of music, I love talking and writing about music, and I eat, breathe and sleep music. Podcasting may be my profession but at one time I wanted to…
Salutations™!! Today is the 28th anniversary of Joni Mitchell’s Blue. It’s #30 on the RS list. It’s a great album, although I’ll admit I can only take so much Joni at one time. Again, a great album. Usually, I try to find a cover of a song from the album but here’s a lovely young lady…
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…
Salutations™!! As I had stated on social media in places, our trip to Asheville was canceled because of the impending Snowpocalypse, so we did get to Underdog Records after all. We started the morning at our favorite creperie and shared a meal with our The Beer Dads cohorts. It was a great morning. We did…
Salutations™!! It’s late and I totally missed playing Outlandos d’Amour today as it was its 40th anniversary and it’s #428 on the RS list. So, instead, here’s a cover by the Polease. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “I loved you since I knew ya. I wouldn’t talk down to ya. I have to tell…
Salutations™!! Finally, after a break of several weeks, I have a haul to write about. Yay, me! It was good to get back in Underdog Records, see Jonathan, bin dive and then actually getting some good record listening time in. Here’s what we got: New Order – Movement — The debut album from New Order after the death…
Salutations™!! Forty-two years ago today, March 15, 1976, the fourth KISS studio album, Destroyer was released. Destroyer was the immediate follow-up to Alive which, thanks to “Rock and Roll All Nite,” really broke KISS into popularity. Their first three studio albums did absolutely nothing and were released within 13 months. They tried one after the other and…
Salutations™!! So, the title of this post is two-fold, a double entendre, if you will. First, I have completed the first drafts of the video job. The copy, the VO, the splicing, it’s all done. Now, I just have to have the client sign off on them, which I’m waiting for him to do tomorrow. If…
