Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! This week’s haul is a short one, just like last week’s. Yesterday was Record Store Day and I didn’t really want much. I had a friend who was #1 in line and got me two King’s X records that I’ll put in next week, when I get to them. I don’t have them in…
Salutations™!! Today is the 38th anniversary of Rush’s tenth studio album, Grace Under Pressure. This was the first thing I ever heard from Rush as I didn’t have access to this stuff outside of people who had already heard it and loved it. No one I knew in WV was a Rush fan, it wasn’t…
Salutations™!! Today is the 45th anniversary of Rush’s epic 2112. It’s a concept album of sorts and is proggy at its best, I guess. I’ve never been huge on it, but that’s okay. It’s hard to find people that can cover Rush well, but this is a great reimagining. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp…
Salutations™!! Okay boys and girls… let’s be honest here. This is not the post for Monday ON Monday. This is the post for Monday on Saturday, but because I am dedicated to a blog post for every day, I back up and do it. My schedule has gotten so crapped out because of pandemic, new…
Salutations™!! Today is a big day in musical releases. Glorified Magnified from Manfred Mann’s Earth Band turns 48. All the World’s a Stage from Rush is 44. The Stranger from Billy Joel is 43. Celebrate! from Kool & the Gang and Hotter Than July by Stevie Wonder are 40. Bend Sinister from The Fall, Somewhere…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was pretty much a usual Saturday for us. We got up and went to Underdog Records, had lunch at BLL Rotisserie Factory, came home listened to some records, went to check in with the Maw-In-Law and ate dinner. That’s it. Here’s the haul: Rush – A Farewell To Kings — So, with the exception of…
Salutations™!! Another Saturday passes that we didn’t get to darken the door of Underdog Records. That doesn’t mean Underdog isn’t busy. Heck no! Jonathan is running himself ragged to make deliveries and has extended the reach to Greensboro, High Point and other places. So, definitely watch the Underdog Records Facebook and Instagram and watch what…
Salutations™!! I feel we’re getting closer to being able to rummage through some used vinyl in the next month or so, but until then Jonathan is still delivering vinyl from Underdog Records all during the week. I think sales have been okay for him but I’m sure he could use some more. Head over to the…
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™!! Yep, I am a day behind on this because yesterday was Mother’s Day. So, Underdog Records is still “closed” and Jonathan says that while he does see reopening in the near future, it will still be several weeks, and procedures within the store will be different. He’s doing a shload of deliveries right now,…
