Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
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™!! Today is the 44th anniversary of Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life. “I Wish,” “Isn’t She Lovely,” “Sir Duke,” “Another Star,” “As” were all released as singles. But, the biggest wow for me was when I realized that Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” is a direct sample from this tune, which in this video…
Salutations™!! Today is the 47th anniversary of Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions album. It contains my favorite Stevie Wonder song and this is a pretty good cover. The singer seems like he has a little bit of trouble but works through it. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “A boy is born in hard time…
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™!! 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 46th anniversary of Stevie Wonder’s Innervisions album and it contains my favorite Stevie tune, which Project Soul here does a great cover of. I’m off to call a football game. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “A boy is born in “Hard Time,” Mississippi. Surrounded by four walls that ain’t…
Salutations™!! Note: I wrote most of this on Friday night and had to modify it for today. We’ll leave most of it for today. Yes, it is for Friday and not Saturday, but that’s because we did our record shopping for this weekend at Underdog Records on Friday (and Saturday) for the Record Store Day…
Salutations™!! We had to do some extensive searching for a parking space when The BCPF and I went to Mary’s Gourmet Diner yesterday morning. The denizens of the Heavy Rebel Weekender were out in full force with their rusted-out Dragulas and slicked back hairdos. And, I mean all of that with love and respect. They…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day so of course we had to get our Irish on and went to Finnigan’s Wake instead of Mary’s Gourmet Diner (we did that this morning) but we did get to Underdog Records on time. Here’s what we got: Yo La Tengo – There’s A Riot Going On – The BCPF really…
Salutations™!! Let me say, a brand new needle on your turntable makes all the difference in the world! Everything sounds so crisp and amazing. The BCPF and I have been enjoying a long week together observing the 3-Feet Rule (no farther than three feet from each other for most of the vacation). In that, we also…
