Salutations™!!

Today is the 31st anniversary of Don Henley’s The End of the Innocence album. I remember when it came out. I remember when the title track was first released that I knew that was Bruce Hornsby playing the piano, he just has that style. This album is #389 on the RS list and I like it. I used to do this song with my old, departed friend, Noel Livengood. I picked this version, well because the dude has a righteous beard. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

“I’m learning to live without you now. But I miss you sometimes. The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I thought I knew, I’m learning again. I’ve been tryin’ to get down to the heart of the matter but my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter but I think it’s about forgiveness. Forgiveness. Even if, even if you don’t love me anymore.” – “Heart of the Matter” (Campbell/Henley/Souther)

Salutations™!!

Well, today is the 157th anniversary of my birth state, West Virginia. I have so many great memories of that state from around 1971 (when I can remember things) until around 2012 (the last time I was there). I moved to WSNC on 6/21/1986 (so can you guess what tomorrow’s blog post will be about? You may be right, but you may be wrong). I went back often from ’86 to about ’92 or so. Then for holidays until 2008. After that, I went back maybe twice. It’s not that I dislike WV. I have no problems telling people that I am from there, originally. I am not ashamed of it. But, Facebook has allowed me to see my friends from up there as often as I like and my family that is still there is on Facebook and many come down here a few times a year (when we’re not in C-19 Lockdown). I hate driving and well, that’s three and a half hours that I could be doing something else, honestly. So, for today’s song, I dedicate it to my friends, family and the state I was born in and had so many wonderful memories of and that’s good enough for me.

Salutations™!!

Today is the 25th anniversary of Alanis Morissette’s debut Jagged Little Pill. I loved this album. It was angry, it was sweet, it was a breath of fresh air that came from the whole post-grunge movement. I think it’s fantastic, so there. While this song makes sense, the idiom doesn’t really, but that’s okay, the original it was based off didn’t either. Enjoy!

Today is the 42nd anniversary of the Cars self-titled debut. This album is awesome from front to back. And, for the second time in a few days, you get to see me in action, again, albeit a truncated version. This is one of my faves from this album and from the band. Enjoy!

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 Kate Bush doing the jeux sans frontières” part. But until then, this group does a pretty darn good version. Enjoy!

Salutations™!!

Today is the 41st anniversary of KISS’ Dynasty album. I have, of course, written about it before. You can actually read my account of it here. Since it’s a “Sounds Like Saturday” post, I’ll just post a tune. Hahbahdat? This is one of my faves on the album and it’s from before Paul lost his powerful voice. He still holds up today but he’s showing like a 70-year old that has sung with power (perhaps pushing it too far) for his entire life. Anywhat! Enjoy!

It’s also the sixth anniversary of KISS 40 which was a compilation album to commemorate the 40 years of KISS. That’s all I’m going to mention of that.

About 15 years ago or so, and wow on that time flying… I was in a band called Busted Uncle. We were primarily a hair band/late 80s hard rock “cover” band but we also had our own songs. We did a little demo called DEMOlisten. It was my first foray into producing. I didn’t do a great job, really, but it was passable. Not having the proper equipment for the mixdown portion was the worst part. We spent good money on the recording pieces. Well, with the pandemic happening, many bands have found time to make composite videos of songs, where each member does his own part and they are put together to form a video. We did this, with the exception of the drummer Bob, who is doing his own things. So, Nick, the son of guitarist Jake filled in. This is one of the originals we wrote called “Hate To See You Go.” We had fun with it. Enjoy!

Today is the 31st anniversary of The Cure’s Disintegration album. I love this band. I love this song. I love the singer doing the cover (once you get past the chattiness). Enjoy!

More of the same, I’m afraid…

Today is the 45th anniversary of the ZZ Top album, Fandango! It is also the 40th anniversary of The Cure’s Seventeen Seconds. It’s the 32nd anniversary of Erasure’s The Innocents and 31st anniversary of The Pixie’s Doolittle.

I love this song. I have since I first heard it and if I ever do karaoke again, this would be the first thing I did. Enjoy!

I love my wife. I really do. I also love how into her music she is. But, man… she listens to some really crappy stuff. So, this one is for her. Today is Pavement’s Wowee Zowee‘s 25th anniversary. I don’t mind the studio stuff, well as much, but live these guys suck. I tried to find a cover to play instead but that sucked even more. I guess a picture of poop is still poop in a picture. So, a cover band doing crap is still crap. Oh well, enjoy!
