Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 5/15/21

Salutations™!! Yesterday was 3B’s birthday and I got to text with him but not talk with him. But, he was working. The BCPF and I went to Underdog Records, to eat, the grocery store and to eat. But in between all that we listened to a few records, too. Here’s our haul” New Order – Education Entertainment…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Michigan Seems Like a Dream to Me Now

Salutations™!! Today is the 53rd anniversary of Simon & Garfunkel’s most amazing album, Bookends. It’s my favorite of theirs. So many great tunes and, to me, nary a clunker to be found. It was inexplicably ranked at #234 on the RS list that matters and in yet another example of why the new list does…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 3/20/21

Salutations™!! We got very little listening in yesterday as we had several other “errands” or “just wanted to dos” but, we got some in. It was a chilly but beautiful day yesterday. Here’s the haul: Oasis – (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? — #378 on the RS list that matters and rises to #157 on the one…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Massé for the Masses

Salutations™!! Todays is the 54th anniversary of Simon and Garfunkel’s Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme album. Whenever I think of those ingredients, I get hungry. “Scarborough Fair” by itself I like, a lot. I don’t really enjoy the “Canticle” part on top of it. My favorite version overall is Queensrÿche’s version, but I love Mike…

Now Normal Chronicles Continued or: America

Salutations™!! Today is the 52nd anniversary of Simon & Garfunkel’s Bookends album. My favorite album by them, and it has my favorite song by them. #234 on the RS List. One cool thing about this song is the fact that there is no rhyming; basically a continuous story. There were plenty of vids to choose from for…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Not Silence

Salutations™!! Today is the 55th anniversary of Simon & Garfunkel’s Wednesday, Morning 3AM. Wow. I really debated between the S&G version of this song from The Concert in Central Park and the amazing version from Disturbed. Keeping it old school won out. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “And the people bowed and…

Bookends or: Greatness

Salutations™!! Today is the 51st anniversary of one of the greatest albums of all time. #234 on the RS List, which I think is ridiculous! It should be higher on the chart. Heck, I’d trade it for the Velvet Underground & Nico album at #13, which I’d rather just erase all together. But, this isn’t that,…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 2/10/19

Salutations™!! The BCPF hasn’t been feeling well and it’s just another hit to our 2019 plans. Not her fault, of course, but we had wanted to start a big cleaning/purge project through this year to just get more organized. But, she’s not felt up to it because of all the crud going around. Plus, this…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 5/26/18

Salutations™!! It was a rainy, then sunny, then rainy, then sunny day yesterday. Mary’s Gourmet Diner, Underdog Records, Willows Bistro. Lots of record listening. But, it was a great day. Great. Day. Here’s our haul: Dokken – Under Lock And Key – I dug me some Dokken in the mid-80s. This is my favorite album from them as…

Silent Sunday or: The Haul 4/14/18

Salutations™!!   Yesterday was a beautiful day. It was warm but not hot, the humidity was quite low, the windows on “Annabelle” were all open, including the moonroof. The BCPF and I walked around Old Salem and visited with friends at the Cobblestone Farmers Market, at breakfast at Mary’s Gourmet Diner, visited Underdog Records, put…
